Before & After Photos

Brad P. started noticing the gap between his back patio and walls getting larger, allowing more moisture in from the outside of his Lake Placid, Florida home. He wanted his foundation leveled and gaps closed before more potential damage could occur. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair, who came out to his home quickly and completed a full-home inspection. LRE determined that loose, shifting soils under his home caused the foundation to sink and turned to PolyLevel injection for the permanent solution. PolyLevel is a polyurethane expanding foam material that is injected through the concrete slab and around the outside of the home to fill voids, stabilize loose soils, and lift the foundation back into place. This homeowner was pleasantly surprised to see the gaps closed and could rest easy knowing no further damage would occur.

Ashley M. inherited her Lake Placid, Florida home when her grandfather passed away and it needed quite a bit of work. She was informed the roof needed repairs, but before that could start, the more pressing issue was the foundation. Cracks were apparent in the brick walls, and upon inspection, LRE determined a corner of the property had experienced erosion and settlement, which needed to be lifted and stabilized. The homeowner didn't hesitate to move forward with the project, which consisted of the installation of galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were advanced into the soils around the home until the proper pressure and compaction were achieved. Once this happened, the piers were attached to the home's footer, and a lift was able to occur, releveling the sunken foundation. After the project was completed, this homeowner was amazed to see the cracks closed and happy to know her family home was stabilized for years to come.

James and Sheila, from Okeechobee, Florida, were looking to install new floors in their home when they discovered moisture damage in the subfloors. Concerned about the condition of their crawl space below, they turned to an industry leader for crawl space repair services and scheduled a free inspection with LRE Foundation Repair. A Design Specialist inspected their crawl space and found the soil to be very damp and discovered mold and mildew growth in the wooden floor joists. The specialist presented the homeowners with a plan to fully encapsulate the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This comprehensive solution seals the crawl space with a waterproofing liner and keeps the area clean and dry with a proprietary sump pump system and dehumidifier. After the LRE team completed the installation of the CleanSpace system, James and Sheila were thrilled to see that their mold problems were eliminated, keeping the air in their home clean, and the subfloors secure.
