Before & After Photos

After residents of a condominium community in St. Petersburg, FL, began noticing cracks appearing in the walls, the homeowners’ association contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the condition of the building’s foundation. One of our local Design Specialists performed a complimentary inspection and discovered soil washout beneath the structure that had created significant voids, causing the foundation to shift.

To correct the issue, we designed a permanent stabilization plan using our helical pier system. Once the HOA approved the project, our team carefully excavated around the affected areas of the foundation and advanced each pier deep into the ground until stable, load-bearing soil was reached. The piers were then securely attached to the foundation footing, transferring the weight of the building to stronger soil layers capable of providing lasting support.

With the new support system in place, the foundation was carefully lifted back to its proper position, closing the wall cracks in the process. The building is now permanently stabilized and supported by a reliable foundation system, giving residents confidence that their property is structurally sound and protected for the future.

Stephen H. reached out to LRE Foundation Repair after becoming increasingly frustrated with excessive water pooling in his backyard and seeping into his garage during heavy rains. Concerned about potential damage to his foundation and property, he requested a professional evaluation. Following a thorough inspection, LRE’s drainage specialists designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on effective water management and long-term protection. The plan included strategic grading improvements, the installation of subsurface drainage systems, hard piping, and the integration of catch basins to collect and redirect excess water away from the home. With the new system in place, water is now efficiently diverted away from both the backyard and garage, preventing further intrusion and erosion and allowing Stephen to enjoy a dry, stable property with the confidence that his home’s foundation is well-protected against future storms.

Brian, a homeowner in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently completed kitchen renovations that added significant weight to his home. This caused the kitchen floors to settle, prompting him to contact LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in reinforcing the crawl space support beneath his home.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist identified an ideal solution: installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent support for the home’s floor joists. With Brian’s approval, our team promptly installed SmartJacks in strategic locations within the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and reinforcing them to handle the added weight.

Now, Brian can enjoy his newly renovated kitchen with the peace of mind that his home’s foundation is stable and secure.

Having experienced rainwater constantly pooling around his home’s pool deck, Dan from St. Petersburg, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with an enhanced drainage solution. After our Design Specialist conducted a full home inspection, we developed a plan to install a new exterior drainage system, including an enhanced channel drain within the pool deck’s concrete to collect and redirect flooding rainwater away from the home. Following Dan’s review and approval, our team carefully removed sections of concrete to place the new channel drain and connected it to the system’s underground drainage pipe. Additionally, nearby downspouts were connected directly into the underground pipe to prevent water from discharging around the pool deck. Upon completion, Dan’s pool deck is now fully equipped to manage rainwater, protecting both his concrete surfaces and the home’s foundation.
