Before & After Photos

Sally T. contacted LRE Foundation Repair after becoming concerned that her front porch might be sinking at her home in Ocala, Florida. LRE inspected the property and observed large gaps that had formed between the concrete steps and the brick walls. The damage was caused by years of erosion and washed-out soils due lack of proper water diversion. To solve the problem, LRE's design team utilized PolyLevel, a polymer injectable material that expands on contact to lift concrete back into place. PolyLevel was injected around the affected area and closely monitored as the concrete was raised to close the gaps. Once the maximum lift was achieved, the material quickly cured, enabling LRE to finish the job by adding a new drainage system. Sally was thrilled with the results and can now rest easy knowing her porch is permanently stabilized and protected from future settlement. 

Steven from Ocala, Florida, had just recently purchased his new home, intending to make it his permanent residence. Wanting to ensure the crawl space was structurally sound, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. Following a full home inspection by one of our expert Design Specialists, we recommended having our team repair some of the floor joists and provide them with permanent support with our SmartJack system. With Steven’s approval, our team began implementing this solution, fully stabilizing his home’s crawl space with this comprehensive system. Now Steven can feel assured that the foundation of his forever home is safe and secure for many years to come.

Steven, a new homeowner in Ocala, Florida, wanted to ensure the crawl space beneath his home was properly supported. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. During the inspection, our specialist identified that the wooden floor joists required additional support and recommended installing our SmartJack system.

Now, Steven can enjoy the peace of mind of having a stable, secure foundation beneath his home.

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.
