Maureen R. was experiencing severe damage to her New Port Richey, Florida home and decided to call LRE Foundation Repair once moisture started infiltrating the cracks inside her house. LRE completed a full home inspection, working with engineers to test the soils underneath the home. They discovered this over 50-year-old home was sitting on soils compromised by buried, decaying organics that affected its strength to support the home's foundation. LRE designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation to the inside and around the outside of the home. These galvanized steel piers were carefully drilled into the soils at appropriate locations, compacting and strengthening the areas. Each pier was attached to the home's foundation with brackets allowing the load to be shifted from the unstable soils onto the pier system. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was more than pleased to see many of the cracks diminished and could rest easy knowing her home is now stabilized permanently.
Frances S. started becoming anxious when she noticed her elevated concrete driveway sinking. She's lived in her New Port Richey, Florida home for many years and never experienced this before. She called on LRE Foundation Repair for help. Upon inspection, it was clear natural erosion and soil washout was the cause of Frances's sinking driveway. PolyLevel and NexusPro are the two products that make up the concrete protection system that we used to restore Frances's driveway. PolyLevel concrete lifting foam is used to lift and stabilize, while NexusPro is used to seal joins to eliminate any water filtration. By pairing the two, we were able to lift Frances's driveway back level and ensure permanent protection and stabilization.
Douglas requested assistance from LRE Foundation Repair to help design an effective drainage solution for his New Port Richey, Florida home. Persistent flooding around the home had resulted in regular water intrusion indoors, and he realized that he needed to address this issue before further damage to his foundation could occur. Following a thorough inspection of the home by an LRE Design Specialist, a plan was devised to clear much of the vegetation around the flooded area of the home and install a French Drain to collect excess rainwater and divert it away from the home. The LRE team proceeded to clear the excess plant growth and installed the French Drain, effectively resolving the persistent flooding issue around the home. Douglas can now rest assured knowing that his home is prepared to withstand Florida's heavy rainstorms without the worry of flooding.
Rodney M. noticed cracking and settlement to his sidewalk and driveway and had concerns about a foundation problem at his home in Holiday, Florida. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to see if there was an underlying issue that needed to be addressed. LRE completed a full home inspection, and through careful ground measurements and testing, determined that large voids and loose soils were causing the heavy weight of the concrete above to sink. LRE designed a solution to solve this problem using PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material injected through small ports in the concrete slabs that expands when in contact with soils, filling voids and strengthening the area. This material even expanded enough to lift the concrete drive close to two inches. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was happy to see his driveway and sidewalk not only lifted back to normal but permanently stabilized as well.
Homeowners located in Kissimmee, Florida reached out to LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of repairing the walkway of their home. The soil underneath the slab had eroded causing the concrete to become unlevel, leaving a nasty tripping hazard and allowing water to pool near the foundation of the home. LRE utilized their two-part PolyLevel foam system to inject underneath the slab. The foam worked to fill the voids, and raise and relevel the homeowner's walkway. This homeowner no longer has to worry about tripping hazards or more serious foundation issues due to the pooling water.
