Before & After Photos

Dan and Jane S. of Estero, Florida were tired of the cracks in their concrete walkway and were hopeful they could be sealed and smoothed out. After considering a few options, they decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE was able to apply NexusPro to the area, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks that not only smooths out the look of the unsightly cracks but also protects the walkway from future moisture infiltration, weed growth and damage from outside elements. NexusPro is carefully applied in cracks that have been drilled, smoothed, and ready for the product application, and finished off with a thin layer of sand to match the surrounding concrete. Once complete, the homeowners were pleased with no more cracks and a smooth finished walkway. 

Michelle and Rodney B. were worried about the sudden cracks in the foundation wall of their Estero, Florida home. They decided to contact LRE Foundation Repair to get it fixed and ease their minds. After inspecting the property, LRE determined that the movement was caused by loose, shifting soils and recommended using helical piers to stabilize and repair the foundation. Helical piers are galvanized steel posts that are drilled into the ground around the problematic areas of the home and attached to the home's footer using a galvanized steel bracket. Eventually, the home rests on these piers and can even be lifted back to level. All work is buried underground or covered with concrete, becoming a permanent part of the home. The homeowners were delighted with the repaired foundation cracks and the newfound stability of their home, which gave them the peace of mind they were seeking.

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.
