Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Miami Shores, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to inspect their crawl space after noticing cracks forming along the interior walls of their home. One of our expert Design Specialists inspected the crawl space beneath the home and discovered that many of the wooden floor joists were sloping due to insufficient support. Our production team quickly stepped in and installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system, providing durable and permanent stability for the support joists and leveling the home’s floors. Upon completion, the homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their foundation is fully secured and permanently stabilized.

Rodrigo P. and his wife suffered from harsh, musty odors in their Miami Beach, Florida home. Growing concerned for their health, they reached out to LRE Foundation Repair. LRE carefully inspected the home and crawl space beneath it, discovering inadequate airflow had trapped moisture, allowing the growth of mold and mildew. LRE designed a solution to keep the area clean and dry while eliminating excess moisture. The LRE team implemented the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to provide the needed protection and regulation of moisture. This crawl space encapsulation method involves thorough sealing of the space with a heavy-duty water vapor barrier that covers the floors, walls, and piers. Once these barriers are securely sealed, they provide an airtight environment. The addition of a dehumidifier keeps the air in the crawl space clean and dry. Once the project was complete, Rodrigo and his wife were very pleased with the enhanced protection of their crawl space, along with the improved indoor air quality and energy efficiency. Their home is now protected to be a comfortable and healthy living space for many years to come.

Laura from Tampa, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her home's crawl space after noticing her wooden floors began cupping. Our Design Specialist visited and discovered trapped moisture in the crawl space, creating a humid environment that was likely causing the floor issue. The damp conditions also posed a risk for mold development, which could affect the indoor air quality.

Our Design Specialist created a plan to fully encapsulate the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This comprehensive system completely seals the crawl space with a highly durable moisture barrier to prevent moisture penetration to the wooden structural supports and inhibit mold growth. In addition, a specialized dehumidifier is installed to keep the air in the space clean and dry all year round.

After reviewing this plan with Laura, our team began implementing this system, providing Laura’s home with the protection it needed. She was thrilled with the results, knowing her crawl space was now secure and safeguarded for years to come.

Kathy from Seffner, FL, was in the process of repairing areas of her newly inherited home when she became concerned about the condition of the crawl space. She had noticed sections of the interior flooring felt unstable, and it was also recommended that the crawl space be encapsulated to help protect against moisture-related issues. Wanting a reliable, long-term solution, Kathy contacted LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a complimentary inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.

Following a thorough inspection of the crawl space, our specialist identified areas where the floor system required additional structural support. A comprehensive plan was developed to permanently reinforce the floor joists using our SmartJack system. To further protect the home, we also recommended installing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to fully seal the crawl space and help prevent moisture intrusion.

Once Kathy approved the plan, our team got to work by first clearing debris from the crawl space and preparing the area for encapsulation. We then installed the CleanSpace moisture barrier to create a sealed environment, followed by strategically placing the SmartJack system to stabilize and strengthen the floor structure above.

Now, Kathy’s newly inherited home has a crawl space that is properly supported and protected from moisture, helping ensure the floors feel stable and the home remains structurally sound for years to come.

Lynne from Surfside, FL, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair after her tenant noticed a persistent musty odor inside her rental home. She requested a crawl space inspection, and our local Design Specialist visited her home to perform a free evaluation.

Once inside the crawl space, our specialist discovered elevated moisture levels along with mold and mildew growth - conditions that were contributing to the odor and risk of further damage. With no existing protection system in place, we recommended having our team install the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to control moisture year-round. Lynne approved the plan, and our team got to work.

We removed debris, fully sealed the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier, installed a high-performance dehumidifier to regulate humidity, and added an EverLast Crawl Space Door to help block outside air and pests from entering.

Now fully encapsulated and protected, the crawl space is clean, dry, and odor-free - giving Lynne and her tenant long-term peace of mind and a healthier home environment.
