Before & After Photos

In Miami Springs, FL, Joel’s home had experienced severe foundation settlement, with large cracks developing in various areas of the home’s walls. After having LRE conduct a thorough, full-home inspection, our Design Specialist discovered settlement throughout the entire exterior foundation, along with issues with the support system in the crawl space beneath the house.

A comprehensive plan was created to fully repair and permanently stabilize the foundation using a combination of our push pier and SmartJack systems. Once Joel reviewed and approved the plan, our team began the extensive repairs, first installing each push pier along the exterior of the home’s foundation and driving them deep into the ground until solid bedrock was reached. From there, the piers were bracketed to the foundation’s footer, and our team leveraged the weight of the home against the solid bedrock below the surface, carefully lifting the foundation back into place and closing the wall cracks.

The SmartJack system was then installed in the home’s crawl space to bring the interior floors back to a stable, level position. With the repairs complete, the foundation of Joel’s home now has the support it needs to remain permanently stable, giving him lasting peace of mind.

Theodore plans to retire in his Chiefland, Florida home with his family and doesn’t want to have to worry about his foundation’s stability in the future. Looking to bring greater support to the home’s floor joists, he requested assistance from LRE Foundation Repair. A Design Specialist visited Theodore's home to perform a thorough inspection of the crawl space and identified an opportunity to enhance floor stabilization by implementing the SmartJack system. The spacing of the wooden floor joists appeared wider than they ideally should be, and the SmartJack system provided the support needed to stabilize the home. Theodore can now have peace of mind, knowing he and his family are safe and secure in their forever home.

In High Springs, Florida, David needed to have his historic home’s crawl space inspected after noticing the floors inside felt increasingly unstable. He also observed numerous cracks appearing within the home’s walls, further indicating potential structural problems. After reaching out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. Upon visiting David’s home and entering the crawl space, our specialist immediately observed a lack of stable support for the home’s floor joists, including previously installed bottle jacks. The specialist developed a plan to reinforce the home’s floor joists by installing our SmartJack system. David approved the plan, and our team began installing each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space to provide the floor joists with permanent and reliable support. Once the work was complete, David was very pleased with the results and expressed great appreciation for our team’s efforts in stabilizing his historic home’s crawl space.

In Yankeetown, FL, Kevin faced the struggle many homeowners dread: years of foundation issues leading to unstable floors and halting other home improvement projects. As captured in the before photo, the crawl space revealed the toll time had taken. We stepped in with a game-changing solution: introducing SmartJack, a trustworthy support system aimed at restoring the integrity of homes like Kevin's. The transformation speaks volumes – notice in the after photo how we turned daunting foundation flaws into a firm and stable groundwork, allowing homeowners to move forward with their plans confidently. At LRE Foundation Repair, we're proud to not only fix the problem at hand but pave the way for your home's future.

 Aran and Leann C. were growing tired of having to continuously patch and paint over cracks on their Gainesville, Florida home. Looking for a permanent solution before repainting their house, they decided to give us a call. Upon inspection, our specialist determined that the expansive clay soils under the home were causing too much movement and ultimately, settlement damage. A customized solution was designed using helical piers. Our team was able to successfully transfer the weight of the home to the helical piers, prompting those stairstep cracks to close, while leaving the home permanently stabilized. Once complete, Aran and Leann were happy to hear their problem had been solved for good - now they can finally repaint their family home.
