Justin in Saint Cloud, Florida, wanted to ensure the crawl space beneath his home was safe and secure for his family, so he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free consultation with one of our Design Specialists. After a thorough inspection, our specialist discovered that some of the wooden floor joists in the crawl space were slightly sloping. To address this, we recommended installing our SmartJack system for permanent stabilization. Additionally, to prevent moisture damage to the wooden supports, we suggested applying our LumberKote solution. With Justin's approval, our team quickly implemented these solutions, providing permanent stability and protection for his crawl space. Now, Justin can have peace of mind, knowing that his home is secure and his family is safe for years to come.
Joe from Fort Myers, Florida, grew concerned when major cracks began forming in the exterior walls at the back of his home—signs pointing to potential foundation issues. In search of a dependable solution, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free professional inspection.
Our expert Design Specialist found that the foundation had settled due to unstable soil, worsened by repeated heavy rainfall over time. To address the issue, we developed a tailored repair plan using our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation.
With Joe’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, allowing the home’s weight to be transferred to stable soil layers. Our team then successfully lifted the foundation back into its proper position, effectively closing the cracks in the exterior walls.
Joe was thrilled with the results and now has peace of mind knowing his home is structurally sound and permanently protected for the future.
Karen and Ron R. were enjoying retirement in their Sebring, Florida home but were growing tired of seeing cracks throughout their driveway, which was their favorite place to sit. Hoping to have the cracks removed or diminished, they called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. LRE was able to inspect the area and determined that loose, shifting soils, voids, and tree roots were the main cause of the noticeable damage. Using a combination of services called PolyLevel and NexusPro, LRE was able to solve these homeowners' concerns with ease. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material that is injected through small drill holes in the concrete driveway and expands to lift areas of the drive while it solidifies the soils below. Once the driveway was stabilized, LRE used NexusPro to seal visible cracks and smooth out the concrete. NexusPro is a silicone-based, flexible sealer that protects the integrity of the concrete while smoothing out and diminishing the appearance of cracks. Once this project was complete, these homeowners were thrilled with the results and could enjoy their protected driveway for years to come.
Dan and Jane S. of Estero, Florida were tired of the cracks in their concrete walkway and were hopeful they could be sealed and smoothed out. After considering a few options, they decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE was able to apply NexusPro to the area, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks that not only smooths out the look of the unsightly cracks but also protects the walkway from future moisture infiltration, weed growth and damage from outside elements. NexusPro is carefully applied in cracks that have been drilled, smoothed, and ready for the product application, and finished off with a thin layer of sand to match the surrounding concrete. Once complete, the homeowners were pleased with no more cracks and a smooth finished walkway.
Michelle and Rodney B. were worried about the sudden cracks in the foundation wall of their Estero, Florida home. They decided to contact LRE Foundation Repair to get it fixed and ease their minds. After inspecting the property, LRE determined that the movement was caused by loose, shifting soils and recommended using helical piers to stabilize and repair the foundation. Helical piers are galvanized steel posts that are drilled into the ground around the problematic areas of the home and attached to the home's footer using a galvanized steel bracket. Eventually, the home rests on these piers and can even be lifted back to level. All work is buried underground or covered with concrete, becoming a permanent part of the home. The homeowners were delighted with the repaired foundation cracks and the newfound stability of their home, which gave them the peace of mind they were seeking.
