Before & After Photos

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.

Angelina from St. Petersburg, Florida, was preparing to sell her home and wanted to ensure the foundation was stable after noticing that the floors in some areas of the house appeared to be sloping. Her home has a crawl space, and she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to conduct a thorough inspection and identify any potential structural issues.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home, and upon entering the crawl space, they immediately observed that the floor joists in the affected areas were sagging and in need of additional support. To resolve the issue, our team installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent reinforcement for the floor joists, effectively restoring the floors to their proper level.

Now, Angelina can confidently place her home on the market, assured that the foundation is permanently stabilized.

Stephen H. contacted LRE Foundation Repair after growing tired of large amounts of water pooling in his backyard and seeping into his garage after heavy rains. LRE's specially trained team was able to remedy Stephen’s drainage issues by designing a customized drainage solution to divert water out of the backyard and away from his home. Stephen no longer has to worry about water intrusion damaging his home's foundation and yard any longer.

Brian, a homeowner in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently completed kitchen renovations that added significant weight to his home. This caused the kitchen floors to settle, prompting him to contact LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in reinforcing the crawl space support beneath his home.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist identified an ideal solution: installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent support for the home’s floor joists. With Brian’s approval, our team promptly installed SmartJacks in strategic locations within the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and reinforcing them to handle the added weight.

Now, Brian can enjoy his newly renovated kitchen with the peace of mind that his home’s foundation is stable and secure.

Having experienced rainwater constantly pooling around his home’s pool deck, Dan from St. Petersburg, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with an enhanced drainage solution. After our Design Specialist conducted a full home inspection, we developed a plan to install a new exterior drainage system, including an enhanced channel drain within the pool deck’s concrete to collect and redirect flooding rainwater away from the home. Following Dan’s review and approval, our team carefully removed sections of concrete to place the new channel drain and connected it to the system’s underground drainage pipe. Additionally, nearby downspouts were connected directly into the underground pipe to prevent water from discharging around the pool deck. Upon completion, Dan’s pool deck is now fully equipped to manage rainwater, protecting both his concrete surfaces and the home’s foundation.
