Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Dunedin, Florida crawlspace is almost unrecognizable after LRE Foundation Repair completed this transformation using its Crawlspace Encapsulation and SmartJack system. The condo association called LRE after receiving numerous complaints of sagging floors and worries about structural damage. LRE thoroughly inspected all units and got to work stabilizing the crawlspace that had been compromised from excess exposure to the elements and loose soil conditions. LRE's Crawlspace Encapsulation involves covering every square inch of the crawlspace with materials designed to keep outside elements totally separate from what's inside the home. LRE used a variety of moisture barriers, new insulation, and dehumidifiers to control the air quality in the environment and completely ward off future damage. In addition, LRE's SmartJack system uses galvanized steel posts, cut to size and attached to the new support system, allowing for stability and releveling of the foundation. Once this massive project was complete, the association and its residents were happy with the results and could rest easy in their newly stabilized homes.

Shortly after purchasing his new home in Safety Harbor, Florida, Nik noticed sections of the floors sinking, with visible gaps forming between the floors and the adjoining walls. Suspecting an issue with the crawl space’s structural support, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. Our team quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists. 

Upon inspecting the crawl space, our specialist found that the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled and become dismantled, leading to the sagging floors. To restore stability, we recommended installing our SmartJack system, designed to lift and permanently support the floor joists. Once Nik approved the plan, our team promptly installed the SmartJacks in key areas of the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and providing durable, long-term support.

With his floors now fully stabilized, Nik can enjoy peace of mind as he settles into his new home, knowing his foundation is secure.

Alyssa P. recently purchased this home in Seminole Heights, Florida and was immediately concerned with the sagging floors that created movement when she walked. She called LRE Foundation Repair for a possible solution. Upon inspection, LRE determined that due to the age of the home, many of the wood joists and concrete support beams were failing, adding to the structural damage of the home. LRE installed its SmartJack technology system to replace the compromised wood and unstable concrete columns. SmartJacks are heavy-duty, galvanized steel posts installed in the crawlspace and adjusted to reach desired heights needed to lift joists, and floors, back into place. They are attached to steel beams as well creating a far superior foundation. Once the project was complete, this homeowner could rest easy knowing LRE permanently stabilized her home for good. 

After noticing increased instability in the floors inside their home, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of their crawl space. One of our Design Specialists visited their home and carefully examined the structural support in the crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground. As a result, many of the wooden joists had sustained damage due to a lack of stable support from the piers. Our specialist developed a detailed plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After reviewing the plan with the homeowner, our team went to work repairing the joists and installing the SmartJacks in strategically determined locations throughout the crawl space. Now, the homeowner’s floors are fully leveled and stabilized, giving them peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure.

Edwin in Tampa, FL had noticed cracks developing in his bedroom ceiling, causing him considerable concern. In search of a reliable fix, he turned to us for help. As seen in the Before photo, the underlying issue was a lack of strong and durable support in their crawl space — a common problem many homeowners in Florida face. Our team at LRE Foundation Repair stepped in to provide a permanent solution. By installing our SmartJack system, as illustrated in the After photo, we were able to stabilize and lift the foundation back to its correct position, effectively closing the cracks in the ceiling. Through our dedicated service, we're happy to have offered Edwin not just a lasting solution, but peace of mind as well.
