In preparation for selling his home in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, Leland needed to address the cracks that had appeared along the exterior walls to ensure the property could be listed at its optimal market value. After reaching out to LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free appointment, we sent one of our Design Specialists to perform a full home inspection.
Upon closely examining the damage, our specialist discovered that the foundation had settled due to instability in the underlying soil. To provide a complete and permanent solution, our production team installed our push pier system beneath the affected area of the foundation, successfully closing the cracks in the walls. With his foundation now stabilized, Leland can confidently list his home for sale, assured that it is permanently secure.
Patricia and Dani A. were starting renovations to their Port Saint Lucie, Florida home and wanted to tackle their sinking pool patio first. They decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection. Our design specialist determined loose soils and years of erosion were mainly to blame for the sinking slab, and decided PolyLevel would be the perfect solution for this problem. PolyLevel is an expanding, polyurethane foam material that is injected through small holes drilled into the concrete. The material expands to lift slabs back level and fill any voids forming underground. The homeowners were amazed to see the gaps closed up under their screened patio and pleased with the work performed. Now, they can get ready to tackle the next renovation project.
Anna from Jupiter, Florida, grew concerned when she noticed cracks forming in various areas of her home’s walls, a common sign of foundation settling. She contacted LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection. One of our expert Design Specialists visited her home to assess the damage.
The inspection confirmed that the foundation was settling due to unstable soil beneath the home. Our specialist proposed a repair plan using our push pier system to stabilize and lift the foundation back into place. Once Anna approved the plan, our crew began work by driving each pier deep into the ground until reaching solid bedrock. Each pier was then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to the stable bedrock below.
The team carefully lifted the foundation to its original position, successfully closing the wall cracks. Now, Anna can rest easy knowing her foundation is secure, stable, and permanently protected against future settlement.

Now, Kathleen can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing her home is permanently stabilized and protected from further settlement damage.
Erin in Coral Springs, FL, was planning to have renovations done on her home and knew she needed to have her foundation inspected first after noticing several cracks in the walls. She reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free appointment with one of our local expert Design Specialists to help identify any issues. Upon close examination, our Specialist discovered that significant soil settlement beneath the home had compromised the foundation's stability, resulting in the walls shifting and cracking. Our specialist created a plan to fully stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its proper position with our push pier system. Erin agreed to the plan, and our production team promptly began installing each push pier by driving them deep into the soil beneath the foundation until solid bedrock was reached. Once in place, these piers successfully transferred the weight of the home to the solid bedrock below, effectively stabilizing and lifting the foundation back into position and closing the wall cracks. With her foundation permanently stabilized, Erin can now look forward to completing her home’s renovations with confidence and peace of mind.
