Before & After Photos

Dave from Largo, Florida, became increasingly worried after spotting large gaps appearing between the stair steps of his home’s front porch staircase, leading him to suspect the structure’s foundation was settling. Concerned about safety and further damage, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair for help.

Our Design Specialist visited Dave’s property to take a closer look and quickly identified the root of the problem: the soil beneath the stairs had settled, compromising the structure’s support and causing it to sink. We proposed a permanent repair solution that consisted of installing our helical pier system to lift the staircase and permanently restore its stability.

After reviewing the plan and giving our team his approval, Dave observed as our crew got to work. The helical piers were installed deep into solid, load-bearing soil, and the staircase was carefully lifted back to its proper position. With the gaps closed and the structure secured, Dave can now enjoy lasting peace of mind, knowing his front entry’s staircase is once again safe and secure.

Cheryl from Clearwater, FL, contacted LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection of her home’s crawl space after noticing areas of her floors felt unstable when walked on. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to assess the structural support and identify the underlying issues.

During the inspection, it was discovered that several of the block piers supporting the floor joists had settled, compromising the stability of the flooring above. While temporary measures such as cinder blocks and bottle jacks had been used, they were not sufficient to provide reliable, long-term support.

Our specialist recommended installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to permanently stabilize the floor joists. Cheryl agreed, and our team began by clearing debris from the crawl space before strategically installing each SmartJack to ensure proper support.

With the installation complete, Cheryl’s home is now fully stabilized, with the SmartJack system providing strong, reliable support from below.

Diana was preparing to list her home for sale in Belleair, Florida, and sought to ensure its maximum value by having the floors leveled and stabilized. She asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and an expert Design Specialist visited her home to conduct a thorough inspection of the crawl space. The specialist discovered that, due to soil settlement, numerous block piers supporting the floor joists above had sunk, resulting in insufficient support for the floors above. To level the floors and provide permanent stabilization, the LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space. With this solution in place, the floors are now leveled and stabilized, ensuring that Diana's home is ready to be listed for sale at its highest potential value.
