LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

James in Bradenton, Florida, knew he needed to have his crawl space inspected after noticing the floors in his home felt increasingly unstable over time. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free inspection, one of our Design Specialists visited James’s home and carefully examined the crawl space below. The specialist discovered that many of the old block piers supporting the floor joists above had exhibited signs of deterioration and had settled into the soil below. To address this issue, our team installed the SmartJack system, replacing the block piers to provide robust support for the floor joists. James was thrilled with the results, as his home's floors are now fully leveled and permanently stabilized.

In Bradenton, Florida, Lora was in the process of repairing various areas of her home when she contacted LRE Foundation Repair with concerns about voids beneath the concrete walkway along the side of her house. After conducting a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist discovered significant soil erosion beneath the concrete. To fill the voids and provide long-lasting support, our team injected PolyLevel directly under the walkway. The voids were successfully filled, and the surrounding soil was stabilized, preventing further erosion. With the concrete walkway now fully stabilized, Lora can continue her home repairs with confidence, knowing this issue has been effectively resolved.

Karen and Ron R. were enjoying retirement in their Sebring, Florida home but were growing tired of seeing cracks throughout their driveway, which was their favorite place to sit. Hoping to have the cracks removed or diminished, they called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. LRE was able to inspect the area and determined that loose, shifting soils, voids, and tree roots were the main cause of the noticeable damage. Using a combination of services called PolyLevel and NexusPro, LRE was able to solve these homeowners' concerns with ease. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material that is injected through small drill holes in the concrete driveway and expands to lift areas of the drive while it solidifies the soils below. Once the driveway was stabilized, LRE used NexusPro to seal visible cracks and smooth out the concrete. NexusPro is a silicone-based, flexible sealer that protects the integrity of the concrete while smoothing out and diminishing the appearance of cracks. Once this project was complete, these homeowners were thrilled with the results and could enjoy their protected driveway for years to come. 

Steve S. invited LRE Foundation Repair to inspect this sinking concrete slab on the back patio of his Myakka City, FL, home. The Design Specialist found the soil under the slab had washed away and recommended leveling the concrete with our PolyLevel Solution. The LRE team successfully brought the concrete back to an even, safe surface and stabilized the soil underneath after injecting the PolyLevel Solution. Steve was delighted with the team's work and relieved that his concrete patio was permanently stabilized.

LRE Foundation Repair was the approved contractor for a commercial project in Sarasota, Florida, where a group of condos were experiencing significant cracking to the interior and exterior of buildings. LRE worked closely with engineers to determine the cause of the damage, the scope of work, and the solution to eliminate any future damages down the road. Due to shifting and unstable soil conditions, this project required the installation of high-strength galvanized steel tubes, called push piers, that were affixed to a bracket secured to a building's footer, and then hydraulically driven down to competent soil. The building's weight was distributed to these piers allowing for stability and lift, which also closed large cracks. Once the buildings were permanently stabilized, soils were backfilled and the project site was cleaned. The clients, and homeowners, were pleased with the finished product and foundationally-sound building repairs.
