Photo Album: Flooded Crawlspace Remediated in Wesley Chapel, FL
Returning home from a relaxing vacation did not end well for Victor F. of Wesley Chapel, Florida, when he discovered his crawlspace submerged in water. Panicked at the potential damage that had occurred, he called LRE Foundation Repair for help, and fast. LRE's Design Specialist accessed and inspected the entire crawlspace, most of which was still flooded, and designed a solution that would remove the excess water from the space and prevent future flooding from happening. LRE utilized specialized equipment, including powerful pumps, to efficiently extract the water from the area, moving it through underground pipe and out into the yard, mitigating the risk of structural damage. Once the water was removed and the space was dried out, LRE treated the crawlspace with LumberKote, a non-toxic polymer sealant that protects against mold and fungus growth. Grateful for the swift response and professional home repair, the homeowner could now rest easy knowing his home was safe from this ever happening again.
