Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Upon discovering cracks in the walls of his garage in Punta Gorda, Florida, Harley reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. Following a full home inspection by our Design Specialist, we quickly identified that soil settlement had caused a section of the foundation to sink. Our production team installed helical piers along the footer of the affected section of the home’s foundation to lift it back into its proper position and provide permanent stabilization. As a result, the cracks in the garage walls were effectively closed, bringing Harley peace of mind that his home’s foundation is now secure.

Louis R. was growing concerned as he noticed his pool deck was sinking and large cracks were forming where it met the foundation. Before it could get any worse, he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for some help. LRE completed a whole home inspection and determined that poor grading/sloping of the property toward the water accelerated the erosion process. Washed-out and loose soil conditions were causing voids and settlement under the deck, so LRE devised a solution that consisted of PolyLevel. This two-part, polyurethane material was injected under the concrete slab through small holes, and flowed through loose soils, expanding and filling the voids as it went. PolyLevel also lifts concrete slabs, like this pool deck back to level, and once the job was finished, the homeowner was thrilled his pool deck was level, cracks closed, and could finally rest easy knowing it was permanently stabilized. 

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.
