Penny became concerned about the condition of the concrete on her front porch at her winter home in Rotonda West, Florida, after noticing numerous cracks forming across the surface. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists.
During the evaluation, our specialist determined that soil settlement beneath the porch had caused the concrete to crack. To provide a lasting solution, we recommended our Two-Part Concrete Protection System—designed to both repair the cracks and stabilize the underlying soil to prevent future sinking.
With Penny’s approval, our team got to work. First, we injected PolyLevel beneath the porch to lift and stabilize the concrete. Then, we sealed the cracks with NexusPro to prevent water infiltration and further soil movement. Now, Penny’s concrete is fully repaired and protected, giving her peace of mind that her winter home’s porch is stable and secure year-round.
Kathryn faced a persistent issue with rainwater flooding around the back door leading to the pool deck in her Ocoee, Florida, home. The channel drain that was initially installed in the pool deck was no longer functioning properly, prompting Kathryn to seek a more effective solution. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, where one of our Design Specialists developed a plan to install a new and highly effective drainage system. The LRE team installed a more robust channel drain and water routing system to prevent rainwater from pooling around the deck. With the flooding issue resolved, Kathryn no longer has to worry about the threat of water damage to her home's foundation.
Farag A. had several large cracks in his driveway in Davenport, Florida, and was concerned about the safety of himself and his wife. So, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to evaluate the damage and eliminate the trip hazards for good. After an inspection, LRE determined that the concrete slab had settled due to loose and shifting soils. They came up with a solution using PolyLevel, which is an expanding polyurethane foam material. This material was injected through small holes drilled into the concrete slab. As the material expanded beneath the surface of the driveway, it lifted the concrete back into place and closed the gaps that caused a potential risk. The homeowner was more than satisfied with the results of the project and had peace of mind knowing that he and his wife were safe from tripping hazards.
David Q. arranged for a comprehensive inspection of his Placida, FL, home's crawl space by LRE Foundation Repair after observing substantial sagging in the floors of his residence. A Design Specialist discovered that the original block piers in the crawl space were not adequately supporting the wooden floor joists due to soil settlement. To address this, LRE installed SmartJacks to ensure sufficient and permanent stabilization for the floor joists. With this renewed support, David can finally put his foundational concerns to rest.
Frank B. contacted LRE Foundation Repair after learning about our wide range of concrete services. He specifically wanted to address the cracks in his driveway and have the area resurfaced and re-leveled. LRE conducted a full inspection of his home and noted that the majority of the damage was caused by shifting and washed-out soils as well as the age of the property. LRE immediately addressed all of the homeowner's concerns. Our team first used PolyLevel, an expanding polyurethane foam material, to inject underneath the concrete driveway, which lifted and re-leveled it while permanently stabilizing the area. Next, LRE used NexusPro and DecoShield, two products used together to fix and protect the driveway for years to come. NexusPro is a silicone-based crack sealer, and DecoShield is a tinted protective coating applied to the whole driveway. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and happy that his driveway looked like new again.
