Before & After Photos

Sally T. of Ocala, Florida contacted LRE Foundation Repair after noticing signs that her front porch was beginning to settle. During a detailed inspection, LRE observed significant gaps forming between the concrete steps and the adjacent brick walls, indicating ongoing settlement issues. The damage was traced to years of soil erosion and inadequate water diversion around the home, which had washed out supporting soils beneath the structure. To address the problem, LRE’s design team implemented the PolyLevel® system, a high-strength polyurethane injection solution that expands beneath the slab to fill voids and lift the concrete back into position. The injection process was carefully monitored to ensure precise, controlled lifting until the gaps were closed and the structure was fully stabilized. Once cured, the repair was completed with the installation of a new drainage system to improve water management and prevent future erosion. With her porch restored and properly protected, Sally now has lasting peace of mind knowing her foundation is stabilized and safeguarded against future settlement.

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.
