Keri S. was looking to establish her Nobleton, FL residence as her permanent home, but she was concerned about the sagging floors in her house. To address this issue, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair to learn more about our crawl space repair services. One of our expert Design Specialists visited Keri's residence to conduct a full home inspection. Upon arrival, the specialist discovered that many of the block piers supporting the wooden floor joists had deteriorated, resulting in sagging floors. Our team devised a plan to replace the support provided by the block piers with our state-of-the-art SmartJack System. We successfully achieved the permanent stabilization of the home's floors with the SmartJack system. Keri was thrilled to have peace of mind knowing that her forever home was secure.
William M. of Tampa, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair after growing concerns about his cracking pool deck and stem wall. He lived right next to an inlet and was worried about future damage. LRE completed a full inspection of the property and noted severe washout and erosion had caused the foundation to fail and got to work on a remediation program. LRE injected Polylevel, a two-part expanding foam material, into small holes around the pool deck. This material not only filled the voids left by loose, washed-out soils but also expanded to lift the sunken areas of the deck back into place. Next, LRE applied the same PolyLevel material under the stem wall, creating a more sound foundation that would eliminate future damage. Once complete, this homeowner was thrilled to have peace of mind that his pool area was stabilized and could finally rest easy knowing his problems were solved.
Kent H. in Tampa, Florida was experiencing significant cracking to the exterior stucco of his home. With growing concerns there may be a problem, he called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. After a thorough inspection of the home, LRE was able to determine the main cause of the foundation settlement was due to unstable soils underneath the home. To compact and stabilize the underlying soils, LRE used a two-part deep injection chemical grout. This material expands to compact the underlying soils while strengthening the area as well. LRE also installed helical piers to the side of the home in order to gain lift to the structure, closing some of the cracks in the exterior stucco. Helical piers are advanced deep into the soil and connected to the home's foundation to allow lift to occur. Once the job was complete, Kent H. was extremely pleased to see his home restored and foundation stabilized for years to come.
The channel drain in front of Eric’s garage in Tampa, Florida, was no longer functioning properly, prompting him to seek a more reliable replacement. After contacting us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection and propose a solution. Upon thoroughly assessing the condition of the original channel drain, our specialist devised a plan to replace it with one of our upgraded models. This new system is designed to efficiently collect and redirect heavy rainwater away from the home through an underground drainage pipe leading to a relief drain, effectively preventing flooding in Eric’s garage. Our team carefully removed the old channel drain and installed our new, enhanced model, providing a reliable solution to protect Eric's garage and home from damage caused by flooding rainwater.
A homeowner in Tampa, Florida was experiencing a number of foundation issues due to the conditions underneath their home. This homeowner contacted LRE after noticing the floors inside their home had begun to sag. One of LRE’s specially trained Design Specialists visited the home to complete an inspection.
