Before & After Photos

Dave from Largo, Florida, became increasingly worried after spotting large gaps appearing between the stair steps of his home’s front porch staircase, leading him to suspect the structure’s foundation was settling. Concerned about safety and further damage, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair for help.

Our Design Specialist visited Dave’s property to take a closer look and quickly identified the root of the problem: the soil beneath the stairs had settled, compromising the structure’s support and causing it to sink. We proposed a permanent repair solution that consisted of installing our helical pier system to lift the staircase and permanently restore its stability.

After reviewing the plan and giving our team his approval, Dave observed as our crew got to work. The helical piers were installed deep into solid, load-bearing soil, and the staircase was carefully lifted back to its proper position. With the gaps closed and the structure secured, Dave can now enjoy lasting peace of mind, knowing his front entry’s staircase is once again safe and secure.

Diana was preparing to list her home for sale in Belleair, Florida, and sought to ensure its maximum value by having the floors leveled and stabilized. She asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and an expert Design Specialist visited her home to conduct a thorough inspection of the crawl space. The specialist discovered that, due to soil settlement, numerous block piers supporting the floor joists above had sunk, resulting in insufficient support for the floors above. To level the floors and provide permanent stabilization, the LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space. With this solution in place, the floors are now leveled and stabilized, ensuring that Diana's home is ready to be listed for sale at its highest potential value.

Irma, from Clearwater, Florida, was in the midst of repairing her home when she noticed large cracks along the exterior walls at one corner of the house. Suspecting that the foundation may have been compromised, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to assess the damage, and they confirmed that the underlying soil had weakened over time due to heavy Florida rainstorms. We developed a comprehensive repair plan to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its proper position using our helical pier system. Once Irma approved the plan, our team went to work. Each helical pier was driven deep into stable soil beneath the home, securely attached to the foundation’s footer, and anchored to provide lasting stabilization. We then carefully lifted the foundation back into place, effectively closing the wall cracks. Now, Irma can move forward with the rest of her home repairs knowing her foundation is permanently secure.
