Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Patricia, a member of a condominium association in Sun City Center, Florida, reported to LRE Foundation Repair that cracks had developed throughout the walls of one of the property’s two-unit buildings. One of our expert Design Specialists conducted a thorough inspection and discovered that the underlying soil had settled significantly, leading to instability in the building's foundation.

To address this issue, we developed a comprehensive plan to lift and stabilize the settling foundation using our helical pier system. After presenting this plan to Patricia and the association, our production team carefully installed each pier deep into the soil beneath the building until we reached strong, load-bearing soil. This process successfully transferred the weight of the condominium to the sturdier soils, lifting the foundation back into its proper position and closing the wall cracks.

With the project completed, residents of this condominium can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their foundation is permanently stabilized.

Ashley M. inherited her Lake Placid, Florida home when her grandfather passed away and it needed quite a bit of work. She was informed the roof needed repairs, but before that could start, the more pressing issue was the foundation. Cracks were apparent in the brick walls, and upon inspection, LRE determined a corner of the property had experienced erosion and settlement, which needed to be lifted and stabilized. The homeowner didn't hesitate to move forward with the project, which consisted of the installation of galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were advanced into the soils around the home until the proper pressure and compaction were achieved. Once this happened, the piers were attached to the home's footer, and a lift was able to occur, releveling the sunken foundation. After the project was completed, this homeowner was amazed to see the cracks closed and happy to know her family home was stabilized for years to come.

In preparation for selling his home in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, Leland needed to address the cracks that had appeared along the exterior walls to ensure the property could be listed at its optimal market value. After reaching out to LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free appointment, we sent one of our Design Specialists to perform a full home inspection.

Upon closely examining the damage, our specialist discovered that the foundation had settled due to instability in the underlying soil. To provide a complete and permanent solution, our production team installed our push pier system beneath the affected area of the foundation, successfully closing the cracks in the walls. With his foundation now stabilized, Leland can confidently list his home for sale, assured that it is permanently secure.
