Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Michelle and Rodney B. were worried about the sudden cracks in the foundation wall of their Estero, Florida home. They decided to contact LRE Foundation Repair to get it fixed and ease their minds. After inspecting the property, LRE determined that the movement was caused by loose, shifting soils and recommended using helical piers to stabilize and repair the foundation. Helical piers are galvanized steel posts that are drilled into the ground around the problematic areas of the home and attached to the home's footer using a galvanized steel bracket. Eventually, the home rests on these piers and can even be lifted back to level. All work is buried underground or covered with concrete, becoming a permanent part of the home. The homeowners were delighted with the repaired foundation cracks and the newfound stability of their home, which gave them the peace of mind they were seeking.

Brenten H. of Bonita Springs, FL, experienced substantial damage to his property after a Florida storm hit. He called LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of a solution to the large cracks and sinking foundation. Upon inspection, LRE was able to determine that loose soils, erosion, and large voids were to blame for the foundation troubles and designed the perfect fix. LRE first installed helical piers around the exterior of the home. These piers were hydrologically driven into the soil and attached to the foundation, adding the stability needed to close the cracks and carefully lift the side of the home. Next, LRE used PolyLevel, a two-part expanding foam material, to fill the voids underneath the home, further increasing stability. This home is now ready to weather many more Florida storms for years to come.

Brenten H. experienced a large amount of damage to his Bonita Springs, Florida, home when a recent storm hit. He called LRE because he was concerned about the large cracks on the side of his house as well as the sinking foundation. After the initial inspection, LRE Foundation Repair was able to determine the main cause of damage from this storm: loose soils and erosion that led to large voids under the house. LRE's plan of action included the installation of helical piers around the exterior that were driven into the soil and attached to the foundation. These galvanized steel piers not only added to the stability of the structure but also assisted in closing the cracks and carefully lifting the side of the home. Next, LRE used PolyLevel, a two-part expanding foam material, to fill the voids underneath the home, further increasing stability. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was ecstatic to not have to worry about future damage or settlement to his property.

Severe settlement damage had caused large cracks to form throughout the walls of Kathleen’s home in Margate, Florida, prompting her to seek assistance from LRE Foundation Repair. After a thorough home inspection by one of our expert Design Specialists, it was determined that the underlying soil beneath the home had become unstable, resulting in foundation settlement. To provide a comprehensive repair solution, our team implemented a push pier system to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its proper position. Each pier was strategically installed around the foundation, successfully stabilizing the home and closing the wall cracks. Now, Kathleen can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing her home is permanently stabilized and protected from further settlement damage.
