Before & After Photos

James in Bradenton, Florida, knew he needed to have his crawl space inspected after noticing the floors in his home felt increasingly unstable over time. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free inspection, one of our Design Specialists visited James’s home and carefully examined the crawl space below. The specialist discovered that many of the old block piers supporting the floor joists above had exhibited signs of deterioration and had settled into the soil below. To address this issue, our team installed the SmartJack system, replacing the block piers to provide robust support for the floor joists. James was thrilled with the results, as his home's floors are now fully leveled and permanently stabilized.

Karen and Ron R. were enjoying retirement in their Sebring, Florida home but were growing tired of seeing cracks throughout their driveway, which was their favorite place to sit. Hoping to have the cracks removed or diminished, they called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. LRE was able to inspect the area and determined that loose, shifting soils, voids, and tree roots were the main cause of the noticeable damage. Using a combination of services called PolyLevel and NexusPro, LRE was able to solve these homeowners' concerns with ease. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material that is injected through small drill holes in the concrete driveway and expands to lift areas of the drive while it solidifies the soils below. Once the driveway was stabilized, LRE used NexusPro to seal visible cracks and smooth out the concrete. NexusPro is a silicone-based, flexible sealer that protects the integrity of the concrete while smoothing out and diminishing the appearance of cracks. Once this project was complete, these homeowners were thrilled with the results and could enjoy their protected driveway for years to come. 

LRE Foundation Repair was the approved contractor for a commercial project in Sarasota, Florida, where a group of condos were experiencing significant cracking to the interior and exterior of buildings. LRE worked closely with engineers to determine the cause of the damage, the scope of work, and the solution to eliminate any future damages down the road. Due to shifting and unstable soil conditions, this project required the installation of high-strength galvanized steel tubes, called push piers, that were affixed to a bracket secured to a building's footer, and then hydraulically driven down to competent soil. The building's weight was distributed to these piers allowing for stability and lift, which also closed large cracks. Once the buildings were permanently stabilized, soils were backfilled and the project site was cleaned. The clients, and homeowners, were pleased with the finished product and foundationally-sound building repairs. 

LRE Foundation Repair was hired to complete a commercial project for a condo association out of Sarasota, Florida. The buildings there were experiencing significant cracks inside and out and LRE designed the perfect remediation for this project. Due to unstable and shifting soils underneath the foundation of these condos, LRE had to install steel tube push piers, which are galvanized piers hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach bedrock or competent soils. This allows the heavy loads from buildings above to be transferred to these piers rather than unstable ground. These piers were secured to brackets, which are also attached to the buildings, whereby all piers can be lifted together to stabilize and relevel structures, closing the existing cracks on the walls. Once the project was complete, the association of homeowners were pleased their homes were stabilized once and for all. 

Nancy had been wanting to get her driveway repaired and refinished for years and finally decided to take action. She learned about LRE Foundation Repair's concrete services and called them to come out to her home in Sarasota, Florida to inspect her driveway. LRE recommended a solution that involved using a combination of products - NexusPro and DecoShield. The driveway's aging expansion joints were deteriorating, and the wood within them needed to be replaced. NexusPro, a silicone-like material, was applied to the concrete cracks and joints to protect them from the elements. DecoShield, a tinted sealer, was then used to enhance and protect the slab, giving it a smooth, brand-new appearance. Once the project was completed, Nancy was thrilled with her new-looking driveway and was very satisfied with LRE's workmanship.
