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.
In Belle Glade, FL, a commercial property owner needed to have the foundation of their building repaired and stabilized before preparing it for tenants. Large cracks along the exterior walls indicated that the foundation had settled and was in serious need of repair. After contacting LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection, we sent one of our local expert Design Specialists to take a closer look.
The property also had a crawl space beneath it, so our specialist thoroughly inspected the entire structure for signs of structural issues. After confirming that the foundation had settled and the crawl space required additional support, our specialist developed a customized repair plan that included installing SmartJack systems throughout the crawl space and push piers along the foundation's perimeter to help lift and permanently stabilize the structure.
Once the plan was approved, our team installed both systems, successfully lifting and stabilizing the foundation while helping close the cracks along the exterior walls. With the work complete, the property is now structurally stabilized and ready for the owners to move forward with preparing it for tenants.
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.
Severe settlement damage had caused large cracks to form throughout the walls of Kathleen’s home in Margate, Florida, prompting her to seek assistance from LRE Foundation Repair. After a thorough home inspection by one of our expert Design Specialists, it was determined that the underlying soil beneath the home had become unstable, resulting in foundation settlement. To provide a comprehensive repair solution, our team implemented a push pier system to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its proper position. Each pier was strategically installed around the foundation, successfully stabilizing the home and closing the wall cracks. 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.
