Gil from Seminole, Florida, became concerned after noticing wall cracks in an addition to his home, along with visible gaps where the addition’s walls met the main structure. Seeking a reliable solution, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the issue and recommend a fix. After a thorough evaluation by our expert Design Specialist, it was determined that the addition had settled due to underlying soil movement and partially from faulty construction design. To permanently stabilize the structure, our specialist proposed installing our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation of the addition. With Gil’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until reaching stable soil, then transferred the weight of the structure to these load-bearing layers. The visible gaps between the addition and the main home were effectively closed, giving Gil peace of mind knowing his home was properly stabilized.
Michael, a homeowner in Seminole, Florida, became increasingly concerned about recurring flooding on his pool deck and contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a dependable drainage repair solution. An LRE Design Specialist performed a detailed inspection and developed a plan to effectively manage excess rainwater and protect the surrounding areas. The recommended drainage repair system included installing a 4-inch channel drain directly within the pool deck’s concrete surface to capture stormwater at the source. From there, the system directs water through a subsurface drainage repair network designed to efficiently move it away from the home. The collected water is safely discharged through a pop-up relief drain located at the far end of the property, ensuring it is released well away from the foundation and living spaces. With the drainage repair system fully installed, Michael’s pool deck is now free from recurring flooding, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.
Jeffrey D. purchased his home in Safety Harbor, Florida that had previous work performed due to sinkhole-related damage. Over the course of the past few months, he started seeing additional settlement damage on one side of his house and wanted to address it before the damage could get any worse. He called LRE Foundation Repair for an assessment and recommendation on how to fix the foundation cracks in his walls. LRE completed the inspection, reviewing the previous work that had been performed, and noted shifting soils and expansive clays were causing the present problem. The LRE team injected the PolyLevel solution into the affected areas of the home to lift and level the interior concrete slabs and stabilize the soil underneath. Upon completion, the cracks were closed and Jeffrey was thrilled with the results, happy that his home was now stabilized for good.
