Before & After Photos

The channel drain in front of Eric’s garage in Tampa, Florida, was no longer functioning properly, prompting him to seek a more reliable replacement. After contacting us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection and propose a solution. Upon thoroughly assessing the condition of the original channel drain, our specialist devised a plan to replace it with one of our upgraded models. This new system is designed to efficiently collect and redirect heavy rainwater away from the home through an underground drainage pipe leading to a relief drain, effectively preventing flooding in Eric’s garage. Our team carefully removed the old channel drain and installed our new, enhanced model, providing a reliable solution to protect Eric's garage and home from damage caused by flooding rainwater.

Richard and Patricia owned this home in Temple Terrace, Florida for many years. The back room addition of this home started settling and large cracks were forming inside on the walls and ceiling. With growing concern, they called LRE Foundation Repair for the solution. After an inspection determined loose soils were causing too much movement to the home, LRE engineered a solution by installing helical piers and injecting PolyLevel to a section of the home. Helical piers are drilled into the soil around the exterior walls using small equipment to eliminate disruption to the landscaping of the home. These piers were also able to achieve the desired lift this home needed. In addition, PolyLevel, an expandable two-part foam, was injected at the site to solidify and stabilize the soils underneath. Once completed, these homeowners were thrilled to see the cracks closed and the home stabilized for years to come.

Alyssa P. recently purchased this home in Seminole Heights, Florida and was immediately concerned with the sagging floors that created movement when she walked. She called LRE Foundation Repair for a possible solution. Upon inspection, LRE determined that due to the age of the home, many of the wood joists and concrete support beams were failing, adding to the structural damage of the home. LRE installed its SmartJack technology system to replace the compromised wood and unstable concrete columns. SmartJacks are heavy-duty, galvanized steel posts installed in the crawlspace and adjusted to reach desired heights needed to lift joists, and floors, back into place. They are attached to steel beams as well creating a far superior foundation. Once the project was complete, this homeowner could rest easy knowing LRE permanently stabilized her home for good. 

William M. of Tampa, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair after growing concerns about his cracking pool deck and stem wall. He lived right next to an inlet and was worried about future damage. LRE completed a full inspection of the property and noted severe washout and erosion had caused the foundation to fail and got to work on a remediation program. LRE injected Polylevel, a two-part expanding foam material, into small holes around the pool deck. This material not only filled the voids left by loose, washed-out soils but also expanded to lift the sunken areas of the deck back into place. Next, LRE applied the same PolyLevel material under the stem wall, creating a more sound foundation that would eliminate future damage. Once complete, this homeowner was thrilled to have peace of mind that his pool area was stabilized and could finally rest easy knowing his problems were solved. 

After noticing increased instability in the floors inside their home, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of their crawl space. One of our Design Specialists visited their home and carefully examined the structural support in the crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground. As a result, many of the wooden joists had sustained damage due to a lack of stable support from the piers. Our specialist developed a detailed plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After reviewing the plan with the homeowner, our team went to work repairing the joists and installing the SmartJacks in strategically determined locations throughout the crawl space. Now, the homeowner’s floors are fully leveled and stabilized, giving them peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure.
