Before & After Photos

Ashley M. inherited her Lake Placid, Florida home when her grandfather passed away and it needed quite a bit of work. She was informed the roof needed repairs, but before that could start, the more pressing issue was the foundation. Cracks were apparent in the brick walls, and upon inspection, LRE determined a corner of the property had experienced erosion and settlement, which needed to be lifted and stabilized. The homeowner didn't hesitate to move forward with the project, which consisted of the installation of galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were advanced into the soils around the home until the proper pressure and compaction were achieved. Once this happened, the piers were attached to the home's footer, and a lift was able to occur, releveling the sunken foundation. After the project was completed, this homeowner was amazed to see the cracks closed and happy to know her family home was stabilized for years to come.

Brenten H. of Bonita Springs, FL, experienced substantial damage to his property after a Florida storm hit. He called LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of a solution to the large cracks and sinking foundation. Upon inspection, LRE was able to determine that loose soils, erosion, and large voids were to blame for the foundation troubles and designed the perfect fix. LRE first installed helical piers around the exterior of the home. These piers were hydrologically driven into the soil and attached to the foundation, adding the stability needed to close the cracks and carefully lift the side of the home. Next, LRE used PolyLevel, a two-part expanding foam material, to fill the voids underneath the home, further increasing stability. This home is now ready to weather many more Florida storms for years to come.
