Before & After Photos

Kim's Dover, Florida home would flood every time it rained, and water would leak into the enclosed patio. She tried everything she could to fix the problem, and eventually called LRE Foundation Repair for professional help. LRE completed an inspection of the property and determined poor drainage and overflowing downspouts were failing to properly divert water away from the foundation. This homeowner needed a new drainage solution that consisted of newly buried downspouts, French drains, and an EZ Flow system, all of which would prevent water from flooding around her foundation. LRE completed the project, leaving the site better than how they found it. Kim was pleased with her new drainage system and relieved that her home's flooding issues were finally resolved.

David’s yard around his home in Valrico, Florida would constantly flood during the heavy Florida thunderstorms. Ready to put these concerns to rest, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to help provide him with a lasting solution. Following a free inspection of David’s property, it was discovered the downspouts connected to the home’s gutter system had been flooding the surrounding areas due to a lack of adequate water diversion. To remedy this the downspouts were connected to a new underground EZ Flow French drain system that was installed by our production team. The water from the gutters will now be channeled directly to the underground drainage pipe system and out to a pop-up relief drain away from the home. David’s flooding issues are now effectively resolved, putting his concerns to rest once and for all.

Kevin, a homeowner in Sarasota, Florida, became concerned about the structural support in his crawl space after noticing widening gaps forming between his floors and adjacent walls over time. After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists to help identify any potential issues. 

Upon entering the crawl space, our specialist observed that the wooden support joists had developed a noticeable slope, caused by the weight above and inadequate support below, as several block piers appeared to have settled. 

A plan was created by our Design Specialist to provide durable and permanent support to the floor joists and lift them back into place with our SmartJack system. Kevin agreed to the plan, and our production team promptly began installing each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space. This effective solution restored the floor joists to their proper position, eliminating the gaps between the floors and adjacent walls. 

Kevin can now rest easy knowing that the structural support in his crawl space has been permanently stabilized and his home is secure.

The floors inside Kevin's home in Sarasota, Florida, had started to gradually sink, with large gaps forming between the floorboards and the adjacent walls and door frames. Concerned about potential structural issues in the crawl space beneath his home, he contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. Our expert Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and immediately identified that the block piers supporting the home’s floor joists had settled, causing the joists to slope. To provide permanent support and stabilization, our team installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system in key areas of the crawl space. Now, Kevin’s floors are level, and the gaps have been permanently closed.

LRE Foundation Repair was the approved contractor for a commercial project in Sarasota, Florida, where a group of condos were experiencing significant cracking to the interior and exterior of buildings. LRE worked closely with engineers to determine the cause of the damage, the scope of work, and the solution to eliminate any future damages down the road. Due to shifting and unstable soil conditions, this project required the installation of high-strength galvanized steel tubes, called push piers, that were affixed to a bracket secured to a building's footer, and then hydraulically driven down to competent soil. The building's weight was distributed to these piers allowing for stability and lift, which also closed large cracks. Once the buildings were permanently stabilized, soils were backfilled and the project site was cleaned. The clients, and homeowners, were pleased with the finished product and foundationally-sound building repairs.
