Before & After Photos

In St. Petersburg, Florida, Caprish noticed growing settlement damage in her garage, including large stair-step cracks forming in the walls. Concerned the issue would worsen, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a permanent solution.

Our expert Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection and found that the soil beneath the side of the garage had settled, causing the foundation to sink. To correct the issue, we proposed installing our helical pier system to lift and stabilize the affected section of the foundation.

With Caprish’s approval, our team installed the piers deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. Once securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, the weight of the garage was transferred to these stable layers, allowing us to lift the foundation and close the cracks.

Caprish was thrilled to see the damage reversed and now has peace of mind knowing her garage is permanently stabilized and protected from future settlement.

Deborah in St. Petersburg, FL, recently had a tree removed near her home, which caused a corner of her foundation to settle significantly. The voids left beneath the foundation after the tree’s removal led to the exterior stem wall breaking away, requiring immediate attention. Deborah contacted LRE Foundation Repair for help, and we sent one of our local expert Design Specialists to conduct a complimentary full home inspection.

After assessing the damage, our specialist developed a plan to lift and permanently stabilize the affected corner of the foundation using our helical pier system. Deborah reviewed and approved the plan, and our team began the repair and stabilization process. Each pier was installed deep into the ground until reaching stable, load-bearing soil and then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer. The weight of the foundation was transferred to these stable soil layers, allowing our team to lift the settled portion of the foundation back into place.

As a result, the cracks were effectively closed, and Deborah can now rest assured knowing her foundation is permanently repaired and protected against future settlement.

The homeowners' association of a condominium complex in St. Petersburg, FL, enlisted the help of LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the building’s foundation after residents noticed cracks forming in the walls. Following a complimentary inspection by our local expert Design Specialist, it was discovered that large voids had developed beneath the foundation due to soil washout.

We developed a comprehensive repair plan that involved installing our helical pier system to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation back into place. With the HOA’s approval, our team began excavating sections around the building’s foundation and installing each helical pier deep into the ground until load-bearing soil layers were reached. Each pier was then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footing, allowing the weight of the structure to be transferred to stronger, more stable soil layers.

From there, our team carefully lifted the foundation toward its original position, helping close the cracks in the walls. With the foundation now fully repaired and stabilized, the residents of this St. Petersburg condominium can enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing their home is safe and secure.

When Ryan purchased a new commercial investment property in Tampa, Florida, he quickly noticed large cracks forming along the exterior walls. Concerned about the building's structural integrity, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a full foundation inspection.

Our team performed a thorough assessment and determined that the foundation had shifted due to unstable soil conditions beneath the structure. To address the issue, we recommended installing our helical pier system to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation.

With Ryan’s approval, our crew carefully installed each helical pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, allowing us to lift the structure back into place, effectively closing the cracks and restoring stability.

Now, with his commercial property permanently stabilized, Ryan can move forward confidently, knowing that his investment is secure.

John’s home in Wesley Chapel, FL, flooded during both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in October 2024, resulting in extensive damage that included significant foundation settlement. Large stair-step cracks formed in the exterior walls—a common sign of foundation instability. In search of a reliable repair solution, John contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and our team sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection.

During the inspection, our specialist discovered that the underlying soil beneath the back corner of the home had severely eroded, causing the foundation to settle. A repair plan was developed to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back to its proper position using our helical pier system. After reviewing the plan, John approved the repairs, and our team got to work.

Using specialized equipment, our crew installed each helical pier deep beneath the foundation until reaching strong, load-bearing soil layers. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to the stable soil below. Once secured, the foundation was carefully lifted, which helped close the exterior wall cracks.

John’s home is now permanently stabilized and secure, providing him with lasting relief and peace of mind.
