Before & After Photos

Eugene and Pam W. had owned their home in Englewood, Florida for many years and wanted to start renovations. They knew they needed to address the home's sinking concrete slabs before they could begin, so they decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE inspected the home inside and out, and designed a plan that would fix the sunken concrete due to shifting, loose soil conditions. LRE used PolyLevel, an injectable and expanding polymer foam material that flows into the voids between loose soils particles, expanding to about 15 times its initial volume. This product was able to lift the concrete slab areas around the home, closing gaps and cracks. Once complete, these homeowners were pleasantly surprised at the results and excited to get to work on renovations. 

Kathy and Makaela S. had been dealing with moisture issues in the back patio of their Auburndale, Florida home. Once they started noticing mold growing near the baseboards, they called LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE conducted a thorough inspection of the property and noticed settlement damage and washed-out soils were the main causes of the moisture intrusion. Our team got to work on a solution to fix the problems and protect the foundation permanently by custom-designing a drainage system using an EZ-Flow French drain and sump pump installation. The French drain is a popular option to divert the flow of pooling water away from the foundation, and the sump pump works to collect and pump water out into the yard where it belongs. The whole system is buried underground leaving the homeowner happy with the drainage solution they were looking for.

Chris B. had noticed a large crack in his exterior wall, covered with cultured stone, that was growing bigger. Worried about the potential damage, he called LRE Foundation Repair for help. After inspecting the property in North Port, Florida, LRE found that the foundation had moved due to loose and shifting soils. LRE used the PolyLevel system, which involves injecting an expanding polymer foam under the concrete, to stabilize the soils and lift the side of the home back in place. This affordable, durable, and long-lasting solution helped to close the large gap in the wall. The homeowner was amazed by the end result - the crack in his wall was gone!

The property manager of a gas station in North Port, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair after receiving some complaints about the concrete sidewalk cracking and sinking. When LRE arrived to inspect the area, there was noticeable erosion and voids growing underneath the sidewalk causing safety hazards. Our Team was able to provide the solution by the installation of PolyLevel around the building and underneath the sidewalks. This two-part polyurethane material was injected underneath the concrete slabs around the perimeter of the building where needed. Once injected, the material flows easily through the loose and unstable soils, filling voids as it solidifies and lifting the concrete slabs where they had sunken. After the completion of the project, the property manager was thrilled his sidewalks were releveled and safe for his future patrons.
