Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owners of a doctor’s office in Brooksville, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair with concerns about cracks developing along the building’s exterior walls. A thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists revealed that the foundation had settled due to erosion of the underlying soil, which had been washed away by a broken buried downspout. Our team fully lifted and stabilized the building’s foundation and closed the cracks using our helical pier system. These piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach strong, load-bearing soil layers, transferring the weight of the building to the stable soil and effectively providing permanent stabilization. The owners were thrilled to see the wall cracks closed and can now feel confident that the building is completely safe and secure.

John, a homeowner in Brooksville, Florida, began noticing cracks forming in the walls of his garage that seemed to worsen over time. Concerned about the stability of his home’s foundation, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a complimentary inspection. One of our expert Design Specialists conducted a thorough evaluation and confirmed that soil settlement beneath the foundation was causing it to shift, resulting in the visible wall cracks. To resolve the issue, our team installed our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the affected section of the garage. Within a short amount of time, the cracks began to close, and the foundation’s stability was restored. Grateful for the professional work and lasting solution, John now has peace of mind knowing his home’s foundation is now permanently stabilized.

Michael’s rental property in St. Petersburg, Florida, had developed large cracks along the exterior walls, including around the window frames. Concerned, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a complimentary inspection. Our expert Design Specialist confirmed that soil settlement had caused the foundation to shift, resulting in the wall damage. To resolve the issue, our team installed our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation, effectively closing the cracks. Now, Michael has peace of mind knowing his property’s foundation is secure and the structural issues have been resolved.

Natalia I. has lived in her old St. Petersburg, Florida home for years and was experiencing settlement to her foundation with visible damage to the exterior brick walls. She wanted to make sure there were no other underlying problems with the home, so she called LRE Foundation Repair to find out. LRE completed an inspection and determined shifting and unstable soil conditions plagued this home and designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation around the exterior, coupled with PolyLevel injection. Helical piers are galvanized steel tubes that are drilled into the soil and affixed to the home with metal brackets. The piers were able to gently lift the side of the home to stabilize and relevel the structure. Next, PolyLevel, an expandable polyurethane material, was injected into the soils to compact them and fill in any possible voids. These two systems are often used to work together to stabilize foundations for years to come. This homeowner was not only happy with the end result and finished project, but relieved to not have to worry about her home anymore. 

Over time, large cracks had formed in the walls of Caprish’s garage in St. Petersburg, Florida, raising serious concerns about her home’s foundation. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection.

After a thorough evaluation, we discovered that the foundation was settling due to unstable soil beneath the garage. To fix the issue, we recommended installing our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation.

With Caprish’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil layers. The weight of the home was then transferred to these stable layers, and we successfully lifted the foundation, effectively closing the cracks in the walls.

Now that her garage is fully stabilized, Caprish has lasting peace of mind knowing her home is protected from further settlement damage.
