Before & After Photos

Stephen H. reached out to LRE Foundation Repair after becoming increasingly frustrated with excessive water pooling in his backyard and seeping into his garage during heavy rains. Concerned about potential damage to his foundation and property, he requested a professional evaluation. Following a thorough inspection, LRE’s drainage specialists designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on effective water management and long-term protection. The plan included strategic grading improvements, the installation of subsurface drainage systems, hard piping, and the integration of catch basins to collect and redirect excess water away from the home. With the new system in place, water is now efficiently diverted away from both the backyard and garage, preventing further intrusion and erosion and allowing Stephen to enjoy a dry, stable property with the confidence that his home’s foundation is well-protected against future storms.

Brian, a homeowner in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently completed kitchen renovations that added significant weight to his home. This caused the kitchen floors to settle, prompting him to contact LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in reinforcing the crawl space support beneath his home.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist identified an ideal solution: installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent support for the home’s floor joists. With Brian’s approval, our team promptly installed SmartJacks in strategic locations within the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and reinforcing them to handle the added weight.

Now, Brian can enjoy his newly renovated kitchen with the peace of mind that his home’s foundation is stable and secure.

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.

In St. Petersburg, FL, Ken’s crawl space had been significantly affected by recurring moisture issues, with water entering the space and causing damage to the wooden supports, along with mold growth. After having LRE Foundation Repair inspect the crawl space, we developed a plan to fully encapsulate the area with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to help protect against moisture issues.

For enhanced protection, our team installed an EverLast Crawl Space Door at the crawl space entrance to help prevent humid air and pests from entering the area. Made of inorganic plastics and foams, EverLast doors provide an airtight seal to help prevent humid air from entering the space, which can contribute to mold growth and wood rot.

EverLast doors also help keep rodents and other pests from entering the crawl space, preventing additional problems down the road. With this enhanced protection in place, Ken can feel confident knowing his crawl space is better protected from outside elements and pests, helping to keep it clean, dry, and protected.
