In High Springs, Florida, David needed to have his historic home’s crawl space inspected after noticing the floors inside felt increasingly unstable. He also observed numerous cracks appearing within the home’s walls, further indicating potential structural problems. After reaching out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. Upon visiting David’s home and entering the crawl space, our specialist immediately observed a lack of stable support for the home’s floor joists, including previously installed bottle jacks. The specialist developed a plan to reinforce the home’s floor joists by installing our SmartJack system. David approved the plan, and our team began installing each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space to provide the floor joists with permanent and reliable support. Once the work was complete, David was very pleased with the results and expressed great appreciation for our team’s efforts in stabilizing his historic home’s crawl space.

Aran and Leann C. were growing tired of having to continuously patch and paint over cracks on their Gainesville, Florida home. Looking for a permanent solution before repainting their house, they decided to give us a call. Upon inspection, our specialist determined that the expansive clay soils under the home were causing too much movement and ultimately, settlement damage. A customized solution was designed using helical piers. Our team was able to successfully transfer the weight of the home to the helical piers, prompting those stairstep cracks to close, while leaving the home permanently stabilized. Once complete, Aran and Leann were happy to hear their problem had been solved for good - now they can finally repaint their family home.
In Port Richey, Florida, Nikolaos had noticed significant cracks forming along the exterior walls of one corner of his home, raising concerns about the stability of his foundation. To address the issue, we sent our Design Specialist to perform a full home inspection and assess the damage. The inspection revealed that the soil beneath the affected corner had settled significantly, causing the foundation to sink and resulting in the visible wall cracks.
To resolve the problem, our Design Specialist proposed a plan to stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its original position using our helical pier system. Nikolaos approved the plan, and our team got to work, carefully installing each helical pier deep into stable soil beneath the home. Once in place, the system successfully stabilized and lifted the foundation, closing the cracks in the walls.
Thanks to this permanent solution, Nikolaos can now rest easy, knowing his home is secure, with the once-worrisome cracks fully repaired.
