Brian G. of Sanford, Florida was in need of replacing his roof, but was worried there were underlying issues with his foundation due to large cracks in his exterior brick walls. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to assess the damage and troubleshoot the foundation before he went through the expense of a roof replacement. We completed a whole home inspection and determined voids under the house caused by unstable and washed-out soil conditions were contributing to the movement and sinking of his foundation. We designed a solution to this problem by installing helical piers to support the foundation and injecting PolyLevel to fill the voids and stabilize the soils. Once the repair was complete, the homeowner was thrilled with the lift achieved to his home, bringing it back to level, and is now ready to tackle the roof without worry.
Erica in Winter Park, Florida, had noticed numerous cracks forming in both the interior and exterior walls of her home over the past couple of years. Concerned about potential foundation issues, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a thorough inspection. Upon visiting her home, our Design Specialist discovered that roots from a large oak tree next to the house had pushed against the foundation, causing instability and resulting in the cracks in the walls. After Erica had the tree removed, our team stepped in and installed our helical pier system along the affected side of the home to stabilize and lift the foundation back to its proper position, effectively closing the cracks. Erica was thrilled with the results and expressed great appreciation for our team’s efforts, as her home is now permanently stabilized.
Koltan of Orlando, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in designing a new, effective drainage system after experiencing repeated flooding on his home's back patio. After completing a thorough full home inspection for Koltan, one of our knowledgeable Design Specialists advised him that standing water was not only a regular annoyance but also had a detrimental effect on his home's foundation and concrete. To alleviate the flooding issue, a plan was devised to install a sturdy channel drain that would run the whole length of the patio's concrete. Our team went to work, carefully measuring and removing the appropriate amount of concrete to correctly install the new channel drain, providing the patio with the perfect solution for eliminating any standing water. Koltan's patio is now appropriately equipped to weather strong rainstorms, and he can rest assured that his home's foundation and concrete are no longer at risk.
