Before & After Photos

Jim K. and his son were preparing to sell their home in Riverview, Florida, but wanted to improve the driveway to enhance the curb appeal of their house. They contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. LRE conducted a thorough inspection of the property to ensure that no underlying issues were causing cracks. After the inspection, LRE discovered that the driveway was in poor condition due to its age and exposure to the elements. They recommended a "fix and protect" plan to restore the driveway. Our team utilized PolyLevel, an expanding foam material, to inject it directly beneath the concrete slab. This product fills voids, stabilizes loose soils, and expands to lift concrete slabs until they are level. Afterward, they used NexusPro, a silicone-based sealer, on all cracks. These products not only stabilized and protected the driveway from the elements for years to come but also gave the homeowner the curb appeal they wanted.

Kim’s home in Dover, Florida, experienced frequent flooding whenever it rained, with water seeping into her enclosed patio and threatening her foundation. After exhausting temporary fixes, she turned to LRE Foundation Repair for a lasting solution. A Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection and identified the root of the problem: poor drainage and overflowing downspouts that were failing to direct water away from the home. To resolve these issues, a comprehensive drainage repair plan was developed to better manage water flow around the property. The recommended drainage repair system included newly buried downspouts to carry roof runoff away from the foundation, along with strategically installed French drains and an EZ Flow system to efficiently capture and redirect excess groundwater. Together, these components created a reliable solution designed to prevent water from pooling near the home. The LRE team completed the drainage repair with precision and care, restoring the property and improving its overall condition. With the new system in place, Kim no longer has to worry about recurring flooding and can feel confident that her home is well-protected against future water intrusion.

David, a homeowner in Valrico, Florida, experienced frequent yard flooding during heavy thunderstorms and turned to LRE Foundation Repair for a reliable drainage repair solution. An LRE Design Specialist performed a free, thorough inspection and identified that the existing gutter downspouts were discharging water too close to the home, contributing to saturated soil and standing water around the foundation. To correct the issue, a targeted drainage repair plan was developed to improve water diversion and long-term protection. The solution involved redirecting the downspouts into a newly installed underground EZ Flow French drain system, designed to efficiently collect and transport runoff away from the home. The system channels gutter water through subsurface drainage piping and safely discharges it at a pop-up relief drain located well away from the structure. With the drainage repair system in place, David’s yard flooding issues have been effectively resolved, providing lasting protection and peace of mind during Florida’s heavy rains.

Kevin, a homeowner in Sarasota, Florida, became concerned about the structural support in his crawl space after noticing widening gaps forming between his floors and adjacent walls over time. After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists to help identify any potential issues. 

Upon entering the crawl space, our specialist observed that the wooden support joists had developed a noticeable slope, caused by the weight above and inadequate support below, as several block piers appeared to have settled. 

A plan was created by our Design Specialist to provide durable and permanent support to the floor joists and lift them back into place with our SmartJack system. Kevin agreed to the plan, and our production team promptly began installing each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space. This effective solution restored the floor joists to their proper position, eliminating the gaps between the floors and adjacent walls. 

Kevin can now rest easy knowing that the structural support in his crawl space has been permanently stabilized and his home is secure.
