Before & After Photos

After noticing increased instability in the floors inside their home, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of their crawl space. One of our Design Specialists visited their home and carefully examined the structural support in the crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground. As a result, many of the wooden joists had sustained damage due to a lack of stable support from the piers. Our specialist developed a detailed plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After reviewing the plan with the homeowner, our team went to work repairing the joists and installing the SmartJacks in strategically determined locations throughout the crawl space. Now, the homeowner’s floors are fully leveled and stabilized, giving them peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure.

Elizabeth R. in Interlachen, Florida, requested LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her recently purchased historic home, experiencing sloping and instability in the floors. An LRE Design Specialist performed a full inspection of the home's crawl space and identified deterioration in the floor joists and piers brought on by age and soil settlement. The LRE team installed a series of SmartJacks in the crawl space, effectively lifting and stabilizing the floors above. With the foundation now permanently stabilized, Elizabeth and her family can enjoy living safely in their newly restored historic home.

After John’s home flooded during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, he began noticing stair-step cracks forming in the exterior walls. Over time, the cracks worsened, clearly indicating the need for a professional foundation inspection. John reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to his home to assess the damage.

During the inspection, our specialist discovered that the soil beneath a section of the home had settled significantly, creating foundation instability and causing the walls to crack. To prevent further settlement and permanently stabilize the home, our team installed our helical pier system. Each pier was carefully driven deep into the ground beneath the foundation until stable, load-bearing soil layers were reached. Once secured to the foundation’s footer, the weight of the home was transferred to the stronger soil below, allowing our team to carefully lift the foundation back into place.

As a result, the wall cracks were closed, and the foundation is now permanently stabilized. John can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his home is secure, protected from further damage, and ready to withstand future storms.

Large stair-step wall cracks gradually began appearing in a corner of David’s home in Dade City, Florida, prompting him to seek an inspection from LRE Foundation Repair to diagnose potential foundation issues. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection, and they discovered that soil settlement beneath this side of the home had caused foundation instability.

To address the issue, our Design Specialist developed a plan to install a helical pier system beneath the affected side of the home to lift and stabilize the foundation permanently. With David’s approval, our team carefully installed each helical pier deep into the ground until reaching stronger soil layers. The home's weight was then transferred to these stable layers, effectively securing the foundation. Finally, our team successfully lifted the settling foundation back into place, closing the wall cracks.

Now with the wall cracks closed, David can enjoy peace of mind knowing that his home is fully secure and permanently stabilized.
