Gary, troubled by increasing concerns about water pooling around his driveway and foundation, sought the assistance of LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. An LRE Design Specialist visited his home in Inverness, Florida, for a full-home inspection and devised a plan to install an effective drainage system to route water away from his home. The LRE team installed a channel drain in the driveway designed to collect excess rainwater and direct it to a pop-up relief drain located at the far end of the property. Upon completing the installation, Gary felt relieved to have an effective solution in place, safeguarding his home from potential flood damage.
Glenn D. of Inverness, Florida was recovering from health issues and was growing concerned about the concrete walkways around his house. The concrete had settled leaving uneven areas and tripping hazards. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to fix his walkway and give him peace of mind. LRE completed an inspection around the home, taking careful measurements of the voids that had formed under the slab over time due to washed out soils. LRE designed a solution that comprised injecting PolyLevel into small holes in the concrete around the walkway. PolyLevel is a two-part, expanding foam material that fills voids, compacts soils, and lifts concrete slabs back in place. Once the project was completed, the homeowner could finally rest easy, feeling safe to walk around his home without issue.
Constance and Ben H. had been dealing with musty smells inside their home for a while and thought it might be coming from the crawlspace beneath the house. They decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to try and get rid of the smells once and for all. Upon an inspection in the crawlspace, LRE determined moisture damage, wood rot, and mold had arisen from a leaky pipe in the bathroom above. After the leak was fixed, LRE was able to treat and protect the wood in the crawlspace using a product called LumberKote. LumberKote is a subfloor polymer sealer solution that is non-toxic and resists mold, fungus, and other wood damage due to moisture. It protects the home in a one-step application process directly on the wood framing, drying quickly and leaving a protective coating behind. After the project was complete, these homeowners were happy with their cleaned crawlspace and odor-free home.
Debra B. of Tavares, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair because she was worried that her front porch step and walkway were sinking, causing a tripping hazard. LRE completed a thorough inspection, determining that foundation settlement and soil conditions were to blame. We designed a solution that would remediate this problem for good, by utilizing the PolyLevel technology system. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam material that expands upon injection, flowing into voids and successfully lifting concrete slabs, like this front porch, back to level. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and with the newly leveled walkway, never having to worry about tripping hazards again.
Patsy U. lives in a retirement community in Tavares, Florida, plagued with streets of uneven sidewalks and driveways. Worried about her driveway's tripping hazards, she decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to come out and take a look. After completing a thorough inspection, our specialist found that the soil around the driveway had been eroding over time, resulting in unstable soil. As soil is washed away, it weakens the support for the concrete, in this case, causing it to sink. To get Patsy's driveway back level, our expert team used a product called PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a foam that expands underneath the concrete to fill voids and compact soils. Our team was able to successfully level Patsy's driveway so she no longer has to worry about trip hazards.
