Before & After Photos

Irene, a homeowner in Webster, Florida, had growing concerns about the condition of the floors in her home when she noticed they felt increasingly unstable over time. Fearing that the subfloors would collapse altogether, share reached out to us for help. Following a thorough inspection of the crawl space beneath her home, our production team began installing SmartJacks to provide the sturdy and permanent support needed to stabilize the floor joists. Now Irene can rest assured, knowing her floors are secure, easing her concerns about potential further damage.

Upon noticing unsettling signs of sagging floors and cracks, David T. from Webster, Florida took proactive steps to safeguard his home by hiring us at LRE Foundation Repair. We promptly assessed the home's damage, determining the crawl space was the originating cause. Rotten wood joists and moisture buildup had compromised the structural integrity of the space, causing the floors above to sink. Our team custom-designed a solution incorporating SmartJacks, which we installed at various locations throughout the crawl space. These innovative, adjustable, steel support columns are engineered to provide reliable structural support by transferring the weight of the home to a more stable foundation. SmartJacks are adjustable, enabling us to lift sagging floors with precision, and their galvanized steel construction also ensures durability and resistance to corrosion. By opting for SmartJacks, this homeowner not only addressed the immediate issues with his home, but also implemented a long-term solution, leaving him with the peace of mind he was looking for.

Debbie had recently taken a fall after tripping on the unlevel concrete around her home. Debbie contacted LRE in hopes of eliminating the trip hazards after growing concerned that her grandchildren may too take a nasty fall. The soil beneath Debbie's concrete had eroded, causing the concrete to sink. To remedy the settling concrete around Debbies home, LRE injected PolyLevel underneath the slab to lift and level the concrete back to its original position, and permanently stabilize the soil to eliminate this issue from happening again in the future. Debbie no longer has to be concerned that her grandchildren will trip over the unlevel concrete around her home. 

Alicia S. in Gibsonton, FL, noticed her back patio chimney was separating from the house while planning to paint her home. Concerned about the issue, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection. Our Design Specialist identified soil settlement as the culprit behind the detachment. To address this, we devised a plan to stabilize the chimney's foundation using galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were mechanically driven into the ground to stabilize the loose soil and lift the foundation. Our team successfully installed these piers around the chimney, discreetly burying them underground, leaving no visible trace of the work. Now, Alicia can confidently move forward with painting her home, knowing her chimney is secure.

Elliot P. has lived in his Bradenton, Florida home since a child. He started noticing his bathroom floors giving way when he walked on them and the door would no longer close all the way.  Concerned, Elliot reached out to LRE for a free inspection. After a whole home inspection, LRE determined that poor soil conditions and failing support columns were mostly to blame. LRE custom-designed a solution using SmartJacks and galvanized steel support beams to replace the existing structure, stabilize the foundation, and lift the floors back into place. Once this project was complete, Elliot was thrilled to know his childhood home is now permanently restored and stabilized for many more memories to be made.
