LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jenna’s concrete driveway at her St. Petersburg, Florida, home had suffered significant damage over time, as the slabs had become uneven with each other and many cracks had formed along the surface. She reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of finding a reliable repair solution that would both level the concrete and fix the cracks. 

Following a thorough inspection by our Design Specialist, it was determined that soil settlement was the root cause of the concrete sinking and cracking. To provide a lasting solution, our team implemented our Two-Part Concrete Protection System. First, we injected PolyLevel beneath the slabs to carefully lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. Then, we sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro, preventing water infiltration and future settlement issues.

Now, Jenna’s driveway has been fully restored, leveled, and protected against further damage, giving her peace of mind for years to come.

Natalia I. has lived in her old St. Petersburg, Florida home for years and was experiencing settlement to her foundation with visible damage to the exterior brick walls. She wanted to make sure there were no other underlying problems with the home, so she called LRE Foundation Repair to find out. LRE completed an inspection and determined shifting and unstable soil conditions plagued this home and designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation around the exterior, coupled with PolyLevel injection. Helical piers are galvanized steel tubes that are drilled into the soil and affixed to the home with metal brackets. The piers were able to gently lift the side of the home to stabilize and relevel the structure. Next, PolyLevel, an expandable polyurethane material, was injected into the soils to compact them and fill in any possible voids. These two systems are often used to work together to stabilize foundations for years to come. This homeowner was not only happy with the end result and finished project, but relieved to not have to worry about her home anymore. 

A lingering odor had permeated Adriana’s home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, leading her to suspect it might originate from the crawl space below. She asked an expert Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space in hopes of finding a solution. The specialist confirmed that moisture damage had negatively affected the crawl space, resulting in the unpleasant odor and the accumulation of mold and mildew. To provide a lasting solution, the specialist recommended implementing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to keep the space clean and dry. With the incorporation of a waterproof liner to cover every square inch of the crawl space, along with a sump pump and dehumidifier, this comprehensive solution ensures that moisture is effectively managed, preventing damage to the structural integrity and maintaining air quality within the home. Following the installation of the CleanSpace system, Adriana was very pleased with the work done by LRE and felt relieved knowing that the unpleasant odor was eliminated and the air in her home was now clean.

Linda of Saint Petersburg, Florida, had observed an unstable section of her home's floor as she walked across it, and it appeared that the problem had worsened over time. Worried the floorboards may break through at some point, she asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space. An LRE Design Specialist discovered that the block piers supporting the floor joists in the crawl space showed signs of settling, thereby weakening the support for the affected section. The LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space to permanently stabilize the affected section of the home’s floor, alleviating Linda’s concerns. She can now have peace of mind, knowing that her floors are safe and secure.

Patrick K. bought his home in Saint Petersburg, Florida around three years ago. However, he has been experiencing settlement and a shifting foundation ever since. He tried fixing many of the cosmetic repairs on his own but to no avail. So he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it once and for all. After conducting a thorough home inspection, LRE decided to install a SmartJack system in the crawlspace and helical piers around the perimeter of the foundation where proper footings were missing. Loose and unstable soils had compromised the interior floors, so they installed galvanized steel posts, or jacks, under the home to stabilize and lift the floors back to level. The part of the crawlspace that had pulled away from the home was stabilized and gaping cracks were closed with the installation of helical piers. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was relieved to finally enjoy his permanently stabilized "new" home.
