Commercial Services Before & After Photos

 Aran and Leann C. were growing tired of having to continuously patch and paint over cracks on their Gainesville, Florida home. Looking for a permanent solution before repainting their house, they decided to give us a call. Upon inspection, our specialist determined that the expansive clay soils under the home were causing too much movement and ultimately, settlement damage. A customized solution was designed using helical piers. Our team was able to successfully transfer the weight of the home to the helical piers, prompting those stairstep cracks to close, while leaving the home permanently stabilized. Once complete, Aran and Leann were happy to hear their problem had been solved for good - now they can finally repaint their family home. 

Maureen R. was experiencing severe damage to her New Port Richey, Florida home and decided to call LRE Foundation Repair once moisture started infiltrating the cracks inside her house. LRE completed a full home inspection, working with engineers to test the soils underneath the home. They discovered this over 50-year-old home was sitting on soils compromised by buried, decaying organics that affected its strength to support the home's foundation. LRE designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation to the inside and around the outside of the home. These galvanized steel piers were carefully drilled into the soils at appropriate locations, compacting and strengthening the areas. Each pier was attached to the home's foundation with brackets allowing the load to be shifted from the unstable soils onto the pier system. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was more than pleased to see many of the cracks diminished and could rest easy knowing her home is now stabilized permanently. 

Alicia S. in Gibsonton, FL, noticed her back patio chimney was separating from the house while planning to paint her home. Concerned about the issue, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection. Our Design Specialist identified soil settlement as the culprit behind the detachment. To address this, we devised a plan to stabilize the chimney's foundation using galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were mechanically driven into the ground to stabilize the loose soil and lift the foundation. Our team successfully installed these piers around the chimney, discreetly burying them underground, leaving no visible trace of the work. Now, Alicia can confidently move forward with painting her home, knowing her chimney is secure.

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. 

LRE Foundation Repair was hired to complete a commercial project for a condo association out of Sarasota, Florida. The buildings there were experiencing significant cracks inside and out and LRE designed the perfect remediation for this project. Due to unstable and shifting soils underneath the foundation of these condos, LRE had to install steel tube push piers, which are galvanized piers hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach bedrock or competent soils. This allows the heavy loads from buildings above to be transferred to these piers rather than unstable ground. These piers were secured to brackets, which are also attached to the buildings, whereby all piers can be lifted together to stabilize and relevel structures, closing the existing cracks on the walls. Once the project was complete, the association of homeowners were pleased their homes were stabilized once and for all.
