Reinforcing Crawl Space Support in St. Petersburg, Florida

Angelina from St. Petersburg, Florida, was preparing to sell her home and wanted to ensure the foundation was stable after noticing that the floors in some areas of the house appeared to be sloping. Her home has a crawl space, and she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to conduct a thorough inspection and identify any potential structural issues.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home, and upon entering the crawl space, they immediately observed that the floor joists in the affected areas were sagging and in need of additional support. To resolve the issue, our team installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent reinforcement for the floor joists, effectively restoring the floors to their proper level.

Now, Angelina can confidently place her home on the market, assured that the foundation is permanently stabilized.

Closing Foundation Wall Cracks in St. Petersburg, FL

After removing a large tree near her home in St. Petersburg, FL, Deborah began noticing serious structural issues at one corner of her foundation. Because her home is built over a crawl space, the loss of support beneath the home created voids that caused the foundation to sink and the exterior stem wall to separate—creating visible openings that could be seen from inside the home.

Deborah reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and one of our experienced Design Specialists performed a free, comprehensive inspection to assess the damage. Based on the findings, a customized solution was designed using helical piers to lift and permanently stabilize the compromised section of the foundation.

Once approved, our team installed each pier deep into solid, load-bearing soil and secured each of them to the foundation's footer. This process transferred the weight of the home to stable soil layers and allowed the affected area to be carefully raised back into position. With the repairs complete, the structural cracks are now closed, and this corner of Deborah’s home is fully stabilized and protected against future settlement.

Channel Drain Solution for Flooding Pool Deck in St. Petersburg, Florida

Having experienced rainwater constantly pooling around his home’s pool deck, Dan from St. Petersburg, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with an enhanced drainage solution. After our Design Specialist conducted a full home inspection, we developed a plan to install a new exterior drainage system, including an enhanced channel drain within the pool deck’s concrete to collect and redirect flooding rainwater away from the home. Following Dan’s review and approval, our team carefully removed sections of concrete to place the new channel drain and connected it to the system’s underground drainage pipe. Additionally, nearby downspouts were connected directly into the underground pipe to prevent water from discharging around the pool deck. Upon completion, Dan’s pool deck is now fully equipped to manage rainwater, protecting both his concrete surfaces and the home’s foundation.
