Before & After Photos

Mark in Tampa, Florida, recently had a new channel drain installed in his pool deck to alleviate flooding and divert water outside of the pool cage area. However, a new issue arose when the water began pooling around the home's foundation at the point where the water was released from the channel drain. He contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to help devise an effective solution for this flooding issue, and one of our expert Design Specialists visited his home to inspect the situation. After careful examination, the specialist devised a plan to install a catch basin at the exterior of the pool deck where the water was discharged. From there, the water would flow through an underground hard pipe and be released via a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property. Our team promptly executed the plan, successfully implementing this new solution. Upon completion of the work, Mark was thrilled with the outcome and can now enjoy freedom from this persistent flooding issue.

After noticing increased instability in the floors inside their home, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of their crawl space. One of our Design Specialists visited their home and carefully examined the structural support in the crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground. As a result, many of the wooden joists had sustained damage due to a lack of stable support from the piers. Our specialist developed a detailed plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After reviewing the plan with the homeowner, our team went to work repairing the joists and installing the SmartJacks in strategically determined locations throughout the crawl space. Now, the homeowner’s floors are fully leveled and stabilized, giving them peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure.

Elizabeth R. in Interlachen, Florida, requested LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her recently purchased historic home, experiencing sloping and instability in the floors. An LRE Design Specialist performed a full inspection of the home's crawl space and identified deterioration in the floor joists and piers brought on by age and soil settlement. The LRE team installed a series of SmartJacks in the crawl space, effectively lifting and stabilizing the floors above. With the foundation now permanently stabilized, Elizabeth and her family can enjoy living safely in their newly restored historic home.

Large stair-step wall cracks gradually began appearing in a corner of David’s home in Dade City, Florida, prompting him to seek an inspection from LRE Foundation Repair to diagnose potential foundation issues. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection, and they discovered that soil settlement beneath this side of the home had caused foundation instability.

To address the issue, our Design Specialist developed a plan to install a helical pier system beneath the affected side of the home to lift and stabilize the foundation permanently. With David’s approval, our team carefully installed each helical pier deep into the ground until reaching stronger soil layers. The home's weight was then transferred to these stable layers, effectively securing the foundation. Finally, our team successfully lifted the settling foundation back into place, closing the wall cracks.

Now with the wall cracks closed, David can enjoy peace of mind knowing that his home is fully secure and permanently stabilized.

Christina in Palmetto, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair about mold growth in the crawl space beneath her home, raising immediate concerns. Needing a fast, comprehensive, and permanent solution, our team promptly installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This system covers the entire crawl space with a waterproof barrier to prevent moisture damage and mold growth. Additionally, we included a proprietary sump pump drainage system and a dehumidifier to ensure the area remains clean and dry year-round. Christina’s home is now safeguarded against mold, providing her and her family with peace of mind.
