Before & After Photos

Patrick K. bought his home in Saint Petersburg, Florida around three years ago. However, he has been experiencing settlement and a shifting foundation ever since. He tried fixing many of the cosmetic repairs on his own but to no avail. So he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it once and for all. After conducting a thorough home inspection, LRE decided to install a SmartJack system in the crawlspace and helical piers around the perimeter of the foundation where proper footings were missing. Loose and unstable soils had compromised the interior floors, so they installed galvanized steel posts, or jacks, under the home to stabilize and lift the floors back to level. The part of the crawlspace that had pulled away from the home was stabilized and gaping cracks were closed with the installation of helical piers. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was relieved to finally enjoy his permanently stabilized "new" home.

Facing recurring issues of pooling water and erosion around the backyard of his St. Petersburg, Florida home, Jeff T. recognized the pressing need for a drainage system. To address the problem, he decided to contact us at LRE Foundation Repair after a recommendation. We inspected the property and determined that the heavy rainfall was posing a potential threat to his home's foundation, and thus opted for the installation of a new trench drain, commonly referred to as a channel drain. Channel drains are useful in directing large amounts of water away from the home and out into the yard or street where it belongs. The relatively easy installation process left this homeowner more than pleased as his concerns were calmed and his home protected from any further damage.
