Robert B. of Ormond Beach, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair after growing concerned about large cracks forming in his pool deck. LRE completed an inspection of the property only to discover large voids had formed underground where armadillos had previously dug their dens. LRE formulated a plan to remedy the unstable soil situation by using PolyLevel injection around the pool deck. PolyLevel is an environmentally safe, expanding polymer material that is injected through small holes drilled in the concrete deck. As the material flows through loose soils, it expands on contact filling voids and creating stable ground. In addition, PolyLevel is able to lift concrete back level again, closing the cracks that concerned this homeowner. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled that his pool deck was crack-free and level once more.
Jeff from Ormond Beach, Florida, was in need of a more effective drainage solution around his home after experiencing heavy flooding following severe rainstorms. He called LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists to help provide a solution. After carefully evaluating the existing drainage system at Jeff's home, our specialist designed a plan to install a new system, which included French drains around the perimeter of the property. The plan also involved connecting the gutter downspouts directly to the underground drainage system to prevent the water from dispersing around the foundation. The water collected by the French drains and downspouts would then be diverted out to a pop-up relief drain away from the property through an underground drainage pipe. Once Jeff approved the plan, our team installed the system, carefully concealing it below the surface. Now, with this enhanced drainage system in place, Jeff can be confident that his home is better protected from potential flood damage.
Dave T. was tired of looking at his cracked up driveway but didn't have the means to tear it out and re-pour it. He called LRE Foundation Repair after hearing of our concrete services.

Carole L. had become tired of the worn-out look of her driveway and wanted a change. She came across LRE Foundation Repair's concrete services and decided to give them a call. LRE conducted a thorough inspection of the area and provided a solution that would give her driveway a brand-new look. The driveway in Ocala, Florida had become discolored and riddled with cracks due to age and exposure to the elements. To fix this, LRE used NexusPro, a silicone-based sealer, to fill and smooth the cracks. They also applied DecoShield, a tinted concrete sealant, that not only protects the driveway from future cracks and moisture intrusion but also gives it a fresh, new appearance. The combined products left a protective coating that was color-matched to the driveway, giving it a beautiful appearance. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with this affordable method of concrete repair and loved the end result.
Sally T. contacted LRE Foundation Repair after becoming concerned that her front porch might be sinking at her home in Ocala, Florida. LRE inspected the property and observed large gaps that had formed between the concrete steps and the brick walls. The damage was caused by years of erosion and washed-out soils due lack of proper water diversion. To solve the problem, LRE's design team utilized PolyLevel, a polymer injectable material that expands on contact to lift concrete back into place. PolyLevel was injected around the affected area and closely monitored as the concrete was raised to close the gaps. Once the maximum lift was achieved, the material quickly cured, enabling LRE to finish the job by adding a new drainage system. Sally was thrilled with the results and can now rest easy knowing her porch is permanently stabilized and protected from future settlement.
