Before & After Photos

This Dunedin, Florida crawlspace is almost unrecognizable after LRE Foundation Repair completed this transformation using its Crawlspace Encapsulation and SmartJack system. The condo association called LRE after receiving numerous complaints of sagging floors and worries about structural damage. LRE thoroughly inspected all units and got to work stabilizing the crawlspace that had been compromised from excess exposure to the elements and loose soil conditions. LRE's Crawlspace Encapsulation involves covering every square inch of the crawlspace with materials designed to keep outside elements totally separate from what's inside the home. LRE used a variety of moisture barriers, new insulation, and dehumidifiers to control the air quality in the environment and completely ward off future damage. In addition, LRE's SmartJack system uses galvanized steel posts, cut to size and attached to the new support system, allowing for stability and releveling of the foundation. Once this massive project was complete, the association and its residents were happy with the results and could rest easy in their newly stabilized homes.

Maureen R. was experiencing severe damage to her New Port Richey, Florida home and decided to call LRE Foundation Repair once moisture started infiltrating the cracks inside her house. LRE completed a full home inspection, working with engineers to test the soils underneath the home. They discovered this over 50-year-old home was sitting on soils compromised by buried, decaying organics that affected its strength to support the home's foundation. LRE designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation to the inside and around the outside of the home. These galvanized steel piers were carefully drilled into the soils at appropriate locations, compacting and strengthening the areas. Each pier was attached to the home's foundation with brackets allowing the load to be shifted from the unstable soils onto the pier system. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was more than pleased to see many of the cracks diminished and could rest easy knowing her home is now stabilized permanently. 

Frances S. started becoming anxious when she noticed her elevated concrete driveway sinking. She's lived in her New Port Richey, Florida home for many years and never experienced this before. She called on LRE Foundation Repair for help. Upon inspection, it was clear natural erosion and soil washout was the cause of Frances's sinking driveway. PolyLevel and NexusPro are the two products that make up the concrete protection system that we used to restore Frances's driveway.  PolyLevel concrete lifting foam is used to lift and stabilize, while NexusPro is used to seal joins to eliminate any water filtration. By pairing the two, we were able to lift Frances's driveway back level and ensure permanent protection and stabilization. 

Douglas reached out to LRE Foundation Repair in search of a reliable drainage repair solution for his home in New Port Richey, Florida. Persistent flooding around the property had begun to cause regular water intrusion indoors, raising concerns about potential damage to his foundation if left unaddressed. An LRE Design Specialist conducted a comprehensive inspection and identified that dense vegetation and poor water flow were contributing to the ongoing drainage issues. To correct the problem, a customized drainage repair plan was developed to improve water management and protect the home. The solution involved clearing overgrown vegetation to restore proper grading and installing a strategically placed French drain as part of the overall drainage repair system. This system was designed to collect excess rainwater and efficiently redirect it away from the home’s foundation, preventing future pooling and intrusion. The LRE team completed the drainage repair with careful attention to detail, successfully eliminating the flooding concerns. With the new system in place, Douglas can now feel confident that his home is better equipped to handle Florida’s heavy rains, with long-term protection against water damage.

Dennis G. had numerous sinking sections of concrete driveway and patio around his New Port Richey, Florida home. Worried these areas would cause tripping hazards for himself or his guests, he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE completed a full home inspection and determined that due to the age of the home and erosion over the years, washed-out and loose soils had caused the depressions of concrete over time. A solution was designed for this situation using a product called PolyLevel. This expanding flowable material is pumped through small holes in the concrete and flows directly below the slab. As the material fills in voids and compacts soils, it lifts concrete back into place. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and could gain peace of mind knowing his house's exterior was now safe.
