Channel Drain Solution for Flooding Pool Deck in St. Petersburg, Florida

Before

After

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.

Enhanced Crawl Space Entrance in St. Petersburg, FL

Before

After

In St. Petersburg, FL, Ken’s crawl space had been significantly affected by recurring moisture issues, with water entering the space and causing damage to the wooden supports, along with mold growth. After having LRE Foundation Repair inspect the crawl space, we developed a plan to fully encapsulate the area with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to help protect against moisture issues.

For enhanced protection, our team installed an EverLast Crawl Space Door at the crawl space entrance to help prevent humid air and pests from entering the area. Made of inorganic plastics and foams, EverLast doors provide an airtight seal to help prevent humid air from entering the space, which can contribute to mold growth and wood rot.

EverLast doors also help keep rodents and other pests from entering the crawl space, preventing additional problems down the road. With this enhanced protection in place, Ken can feel confident knowing his crawl space is better protected from outside elements and pests, helping to keep it clean, dry, and protected.
