John T. has lived in his Mount Dora, Florida home for many years and was growing tired of his unlevel sidewalk. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to fix the tripping hazards once and for all. LRE completed an inspection of the property and determined cracks had formed due to the age of the concrete slab, and sandy soils had been eroded. LRE's solution included PolyLevel, which is an expanding foam material that, after injection under the concrete slab, fills the voids and compacts any loose soils while lifting the concrete back to its original state. Once the sidewalk was repaired, the homeowner was more than happy to never have to deal with tripping on an uneven sidewalk again.
Recently, we assisted Amy H. in Mount Dora, Florida, who was dealing with cracks in her home's exterior walls. These cracks indicated potential foundational issues that needed attention. Concerned about preventing further damage, Amy contacted us, and our Customer Care team quickly arranged an inspection. Our Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the home's foundation and determined that the issue was due to foundation settlement, a common problem in our region due to soil conditions. To address this, we recommended installing Helical Piers, engineered steel piers designed to stabilize and lift the foundation. Helical Piers were strategically placed to support the foundation, and as a result, the cracks in the exterior walls began to close, much to Amy's relief. The outcome restored the structural integrity of her home, and our team left the site clean. Amy was satisfied with the service and the peace of mind it brought.
Brian G. of Sanford, Florida was in need of replacing his roof, but was worried there were underlying issues with his foundation due to large cracks in his exterior brick walls. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to assess the damage and troubleshoot the foundation before he went through the expense of a roof replacement. We completed a whole home inspection and determined voids under the house caused by unstable and washed-out soil conditions were contributing to the movement and sinking of his foundation. We designed a solution to this problem by installing helical piers to support the foundation and injecting PolyLevel to fill the voids and stabilize the soils. Once the repair was complete, the homeowner was thrilled with the lift achieved to his home, bringing it back to level, and is now ready to tackle the roof without worry.
Brad and Alisa C. had been putting off pool deck repairs at their Longwood, Florida home long enough and finally decided to address them. They called LRE Foundation Repair for an estimate after being referred by a friend. LRE was able to determine that many years of washout and unstable soil conditions had caused the large cracks in the pool deck and recommended PolyLevel for remediation. PolyLevel is an environmentally safe, expanding foam material that is injected through tiny drill holes in the pool deck. Once injected, the material expands quickly to solidify loose soils, fill existing gaps, and finally, raise the concrete deck to close all cracks. These homeowners were amazed at the results and thrilled their pool deck was now permanently stabilized.
A homeowner in Longwood, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair after noticing that their large concrete patio slab, which supported their home’s AC unit, was separating from the house and sinking into the soil. Concerned about the structural integrity of the patio, they scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
During the assessment, we discovered that significant soil erosion, caused by rainwater runoff from the roof, had compromised the slab’s stability. To provide a lasting solution, our team installed a helical pier system around the patio’s foundation, ensuring durable support and preventing further settlement.
Upon completion of the project, the homeowner was relieved to see the gap between the patio and the home fully closed, knowing their patio slab is now permanently stabilized and secure.
