LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Kent H. in Tampa, Florida was experiencing significant cracking to the exterior stucco of his home. With growing concerns there may be a problem, he called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. After a thorough inspection of the home, LRE was able to determine the main cause of the foundation settlement was due to unstable soils underneath the home. To compact and stabilize the underlying soils, LRE used a two-part deep injection chemical grout. This material expands to compact the underlying soils while strengthening the area as well. LRE also installed helical piers to the side of the home in order to gain lift to the structure, closing some of the cracks in the exterior stucco. Helical piers are advanced deep into the soil and connected to the home's foundation to allow lift to occur. Once the job was complete, Kent H. was extremely pleased to see his home restored and foundation stabilized for years to come. 

In Tampa, Thomas’s concrete walkway developed a severe tripping hazard as two of the slabs gradually became uneven over time. Hoping to prevent potential injuries, Thomas contacted LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection and find a reliable solution for the issue. Our expert Design Specialist visited his home to carefully assess the trip hazard and identified soil settlement as the underlying cause of the sinking concrete. To lift the sunken slab and level the surface, our team stepped in and utilized PolyLevel by injecting it directly underneath the concrete walkway. Now, Thomas’s walkway is fully leveled and permanently stabilized, alleviating his concerns about potential tripping injuries.

The channel drain in front of Eric’s garage in Tampa, Florida, was no longer functioning properly, prompting him to seek a more reliable replacement. After contacting us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection and propose a solution. Upon thoroughly assessing the condition of the original channel drain, our specialist devised a plan to replace it with one of our upgraded models. This new system is designed to efficiently collect and redirect heavy rainwater away from the home through an underground drainage pipe leading to a relief drain, effectively preventing flooding in Eric’s garage. Our team carefully removed the old channel drain and installed our new, enhanced model, providing a reliable solution to protect Eric's garage and home from damage caused by flooding rainwater.
