Before & After Photos

Looking to replace the damaged deco drains in their concrete pool deck, a homeowner in Seminole, Florida, contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to help provide a solution. Our Design Specialist visited their home to inspect the pool deck and discovered that the standard deco drains originally installed were heavily damaged and ineffective at adequately draining water during torrential downpours. For a more effective solution, our team replaced the damaged deco drain in the concrete with a robust channel drain capable of collecting larger volumes of rainwater and diverting it to a relief drain located further from the property. Now the homeowner can enjoy using their pool deck without the hassle of pooling rainwater.

Gil from Seminole, Florida, became concerned after noticing wall cracks in an addition to his home, along with visible gaps where the addition’s walls met the main structure. Seeking a reliable solution, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the issue and recommend a fix. After a thorough evaluation by our expert Design Specialist, it was determined that the addition had settled due to underlying soil movement and partially from faulty construction design. To permanently stabilize the structure, our specialist proposed installing our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation of the addition. With Gil’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until reaching stable soil, then transferred the weight of the structure to these load-bearing layers. The visible gaps between the addition and the main home were effectively closed, giving Gil peace of mind knowing his home was properly stabilized.

Michael was concerned about the constant flooding taking place on the pool deck of his home in Seminole, Florida, and reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to help provide a solution. An LRE Design Specialist inspected the pool deck and developed a plan to install a comprehensive drainage system to remove the excess rainwater. The LRE team installed a 4” channel drain within the pool deck's concrete to collect rainwater and divert it away from the home through a subsurface drainage system. The water will then be released through a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property, away from the home. After the installation, Michael's pool deck no longer experiences flooding, alleviating him of this recurring problem.

Jeffrey D. purchased his home in Safety Harbor, Florida that had previous work performed due to sinkhole-related damage. Over the course of the past few months, he started seeing additional settlement damage on one side of his house and wanted to address it before the damage could get any worse. He called LRE Foundation Repair for an assessment and recommendation on how to fix the foundation cracks in his walls. LRE completed the inspection, reviewing the previous work that had been performed, and noted shifting soils and expansive clays were causing the present problem. The LRE team injected the PolyLevel solution into the affected areas of the home to lift and level the interior concrete slabs and stabilize the soil underneath. Upon completion, the cracks were closed and Jeffrey was thrilled with the results, happy that his home was now stabilized for good.
