In Groveland, Florida, Andrew sought an effective drainage solution for his home after experiencing significant flooding around the perimeter of his foundation following heavy rainstorms. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to assess the situation. After a thorough inspection, our specialist recommended installing an EZ Flow French drain around the home's perimeter. This system collects and diverts pooling rainwater through an underground drainage pipe to a pop-up relief drain located away from the property. Additionally, the downspouts from the roof’s gutter system will be directly connected to the underground drainage system to improve water diversion and prevent rainwater from pooling around the foundation's base. Once Andrew approved the plan, our team installed the new drainage system, effectively addressing the water pooling issue. With this system in place, Andrew can now feel confident that his foundation is protected against potential water damage.
Gael had recently purchased a new home in Groveland, FL, when he noticed stair-step cracks forming in the brick walls of one section of the house. Concerned about the home's stability and wanting peace of mind, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. Our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our local Design Specialists.
Upon arriving at Gael’s home, our specialist determined that the settlement of the foundation had caused the cracking in the brick walls. To permanently halt further settlement and restore the foundation to its proper position, our team installed helical piers deep beneath the home, transferring its weight to stronger, more stable soil layers below.
Once the foundation was stabilized, our team carefully lifted the settled section back toward its original position, significantly reducing the cracks in the walls. Thanks to these repairs, Gael can now enjoy greater peace of mind and confidence in knowing the foundation of his new home has been permanently stabilized and secured.
Joan D. was growing concerned as there were many areas of her driveway and sidewalks that were sinking, leaving large cracks and tripping hazards at her Nokomis, Florida home. She decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for a solution to her damaged concrete. Upon inspection, LRE determined loose, sandy soils had been washed out over time causing voids under the slabs. To remedy this problem, LRE injected a two-part polyurethane material called PolyLevel through small holes in the concrete slab. PolyLevel flows easily through soils, expanding on contact to fill voids and lift the concrete slab back level. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and could rest easy now that here tripping hazards were gone for good.
Debra B. of Tavares, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair because she was worried that her front porch step and walkway were sinking, causing a tripping hazard. LRE completed a thorough inspection, determining that foundation settlement and soil conditions were to blame. We designed a solution that would remediate this problem for good, by utilizing the PolyLevel technology system. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam material that expands upon injection, flowing into voids and successfully lifting concrete slabs, like this front porch, back to level. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and with the newly leveled walkway, never having to worry about tripping hazards again.
