Before & After Photos

Carol W. had been dealing with large cracks throughout her pool deck, many of which were tripping hazards due to the size. Once her pool started leaking, she knew it was time to tackle the problem. She called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. Once LRE arrived and completed an inspection of the property, they determined that large voids were present under the pool deck and patio due to washout and unstable soils. LRE designed a remediation plan using PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material that is injected through small drill holes throughout the patio and expands once entering the soil below. PolyLevel can expand enough to fill all voids and lift large sections of the patio back into place, eliminating trip hazards and cracks. Once the project was completed, the homeowner was more than pleased her patio was stable and releveled, and even more surprised her trip hazards were gone for good. 

After Hurricane Ian damaged the area of Sanibel, Florida, Mr. P.'s home suffered severe washout causing gaping holes under the foundation of his home. He called LRE Foundation Repair for help. Working with structural engineers, LRE was able to design a solution that included flowable fill, a fluid-like slurry grout mixture that cures, fills voids and creates a stable foundation. The material was poured around the perimeter of home filling in the necessary gaps, and once cured PolyLevel, a two-part expandable polyurethane material, was injected to the needed areas to add compaction to the loose soils below. Once his foundation was stabilized, the homeowner was pleased with the finished product and confident he could continue the rebuild to the rest of his home.

Eric in Sanibel, Florida, needed an effective solution to divert excess rainwater flowing toward his home from a nearby street culvert. His home has an elevated foundation and he knew the damaging impact the flooding water had on the support structure. He reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to help provide a solution. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists out to Eric’s home to conduct a full home inspection to gain a better understanding of the problem he was facing. After careful analysis of the property, the specialist created a plan to install a new, effective drainage system for the home. First, a French drain would be installed around the perimeter of the affected area of the foundation to collect and route water away from the area. Next, the home’s downspouts that are connected to the gutter system on the roof would be connected directly to the underground French drain and pipe system to prevent further flooding in the area. To help further remove excess rainwater during torrential downpours, a Liberty Sump Pump would be included along with the new drainage system. With Eric’s approval, our team went to work installing the new drainage system, helping ensure that his home’s foundation would be safeguarded against the negative impact of pooling water. Following the completion of the installation, Eric can now feel relieved knowing his home was prepared to withstand the heavy Florida rainstorms.
