With plans to make his Chiefland, Florida residence his permanent home, Theodore needed to address a side of his home that had shown signs of instability. The floors appeared to be sagging, and he didn’t want to wait for the problem to get worse. He called LRE Foundation Repair and set up an appointment for a free inspection of his crawl space. After careful examination, an LRE Design Specialist found that the original block piers that were supporting the floor joists above had settled into the ground, causing the floors in the home to sag. To provide permanent stability to the floor joists and level the floors, the LRE team installed a series of SmartJacks in the crawl space to replace the support originally provided by the block piers. Unlike standard block piers, SmartJacks are comprised of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and are not susceptible to soil settlement. With this solution in place, Theodore and his family can now feel at ease knowing their long-term home is safe and secure. 

Molly from Chiefland, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the crawl space of her historic home after discovering that many areas had failing support — and some had no support at all. We sent our expert Design Specialist to Molly’s home, and upon entering the crawl space, they immediately noticed that many of the original block piers supporting the home’s floor joists had settled into the soil below. We created a comprehensive plan to fully level and permanently stabilize the floor joists with our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After Molly approved this plan, our team began installing each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space, successfully restoring the floor joists to their proper level and providing them with durable support. With her crawl space now secure, Molly can enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing the foundation of her historic home is permanently stabilized.

David, in High Springs, Florida, owns a 100-year-old historic home and noticed that certain areas of his floors felt unstable when walked upon — a sign of possible structural issues in the crawl space below. He also observed cracks forming in some of the home’s walls, further confirming that an inspection was needed. After reaching out to LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to take a closer look. Upon entering the crawl space, our specialist discovered that the home’s floor joists lacked proper support, with many of the block piers having settled, and temporary bottle jacks previously installed for supplemental reinforcement. To permanently resolve the issue, we created a comprehensive plan to install our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable and permanent support for the home’s floor joists. After David approved the plan, our team carefully installed and adjusted each SmartJack in key areas in the crawl space to lift the joists back into place and ensure permanent stability. David was thrilled with the results and now enjoys peace of mind knowing the foundation of his historic home is fully reinforced and secure.

A homeowner named Richard B. residing in Brooksville, Florida had concerns about water seeping through his screened-in lanai during rainfall. To address this problem and prevent further damage, he sought the assistance of LRE Foundation Repair. Upon inspection of the property, it was discovered that the current drainage system was faulty, causing the flooding issues. The downspouts and existing drains were positioned too close to the home, resulting in water accumulation near the foundation. LRE came up with a solution to design a new French drainage system to divert water further out into the yard, effectively eliminating erosion and flooding concerns. Upon completion of the work and cleanup, Richard was ecstatic with the outcome and relieved to know that future water damage was no longer a worry.

Ronald from Palatka, Florida, had plans to make his current home his permanent residence and needed to address the persistent issue of water intrusion in his garage. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help with providing a solution, and we quickly scheduled an appointment for a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. After looking over the situation, the specialist crafted an effective drainage solution to help remove the excess rainwater that had been pooling around Ronald’s garage. Our team installed a channel drain at the driveway’s entrance to collect rainwater. The water will be diverted through an underground pipe and discharged through a pop-up relief drain away from the home. Following the completion of the work, Ronald was very pleased with the results and relieved that his garage would no longer be flooding.  

Harold reported recurring flooding issues in his concrete pool deck in Homosassa, Florida, and asked LRE Foundation Repair for help designing an effective drainage solution. One of our Design Specialists inspected the pool deck and created a plan to install a new, effective 4” channel drain in the deck’s concrete to collect and divert any standing rainwater out to a pop-up relief drain away from the home. After reviewing the plan with Harold, our production team went to work carefully installing the new channel drain in the concrete pool deck’s surface and ensuring the worksite was properly cleaned up upon completion. Harold’s pool deck now features an effective drainage solution to remove standing water and safeguard both the deck and his home’s foundation against potential flood damage.

In Beverly Hills, FL, Joseph was preparing to sell his home when several potential buyers backed out due to large cracks in the walls, which were clear signs of foundation instability. Determined to resolve the issue and restore his home’s market value, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists. During the inspection, our specialist confirmed that this portion of the home had been settling as the supporting soil beneath it gradually weakened over time. To provide a permanent repair solution, we designed a comprehensive plan using our helical pier system. Once Joseph approved the plan, our team installed the helical piers by driving them deep into stable soil layers below the home. Each pier was then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the structure to strong, load-bearing soils far beneath the surface. With the full helical pier system now in place, Joseph’s foundation is permanently stabilized—restoring structural integrity, increasing market value, and giving future buyers peace of mind.

Cheryl and Dennis W.’s home suffered some major damage after a storm in Crystal River, Florida. Storm waters eroded away much of their yard and caused several cracks to open up inside and outside of their home. Worried the damage would get worse, they called LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE’s team assessed the damage and inspected the whole home, determining shifting and unstable soil conditions were causing the damage. The design specialist at LRE created a repair solution using a combination of helical piers and PolyLevel to lift the home back level and stabilize the foundation permanently to prevent future damage. Helical piers are galvanized steel posts drilled deep into the ground around the perimeter of the home. Once in place, these piers are affixed to the home’s footer with a bracket allowing weight to be transferred safely. PolyLevel was injected under the home’s slab to fill any voids and further stabilize the structure. Once this project was completed, these homeowners were not only pleased with the work but could rest easy getting the peace of mind they were searching for with their home. 

Mike F. of Newberry, Florida, was ready to start remodeling his home, but was concerned about damage to the walls and floors. He was worried there might be a settlement issue due to several cracks that were widening, so he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to take a look. LRE completed a whole-home inspection, making special notes of all damaged areas, and determined that washed-out soils were the main cause of the foundation settlement. LRE designed a remediation program consisting of helical piers and PolyLevel installation. First, helical piers were driven into the soil around the perimeter of the home, compacting and stabilizing the soil along the way. These galvanized steel piers were attached to the home’s footer and were able to create lift, closing the cracks and re-leveling the foundation. Next, PolyLevel was injected around the outside and inside of the home. PolyLevel is an expandable foam material used to fill in the voids under the home and add additional stabilization. Once the job was complete, this homeowner could rest easy knowing his home was permanently stabilized and could confidently start his renovations without worry. 

LRE Foundation Repair was called upon to inspect the sinking concrete back patio at Michael’s home in Micanopy, FL. Soil erosion beneath the concrete had led to the sinking of the slabs and the formation of cracks. The LRE team utilized the PolyLevel Solution to lift and stabilize the concrete to prevent further sinking. With the patio now stabilized, Michael can lay his worries to rest, knowing that there is no need to replace the concrete.

Brandon from Gainesville, FL, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection after noticing his driveway slabs had sunk, and cracks had spread across the surface. During the evaluation, our expert Design Specialist found that soil erosion beneath the driveway had caused the concrete to settle. To restore the driveway, our team installed our Two-Part Concrete Protection System. We first injected PolyLevel beneath the slabs to lift and stabilize the concrete. Then, we sealed the cracks and joints to help prevent water intrusion and future soil washout. Once the project was complete, Brandon’s driveway was fully leveled, structurally stabilized, and enhanced with renewed curb appeal.

Robert in Horseshoe Beach, FL, has an elevated home positioned on a concrete slab that had developed large cracks that had spread all throughout the surface. After considering having new concrete poured, he decided to look into more cost-effective repair alternatives, and called LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection. We sent out one of our local expert Design Specialists to Robert’s home to inspect the slab, and discovered that significant soil erosion beneath the concrete had caused it to settle. We had our team step in and utilize our Two-Part Concrete Protection System to fully level and repair the concrete. First, the underlying soil was stabilized and the slabs were leveled with PolyLevel. Next, we repaired the cracks and sealed them with NexusPro to prevent water intrusion and to improve visual appeal. Robert was happy to see that he didn’t have to worry about repouring any concrete, as his home’s slab foundation is now fully repaired and stabilized.

Victoria from Beverly Hills, Florida, noticed several cracks and settled slabs in her concrete driveway and sidewalk, creating significant tripping hazards. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and we quickly sent a Design Specialist to assess the situation. After identifying soil settlement as the cause, our specialist developed a plan to lift, level, and stabilize the concrete slabs using our PolyLevel solution. Once Victoria approved the plan, our team injected PolyLevel beneath the slabs, lifting and leveling them back to their original position. With the trip hazards now eliminated and her concrete stabilized, Victoria can rest assured knowing her driveway and sidewalk are safe and secure for years to come.

Constance from Citra, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with her concrete patio, which had become unlevel over time, resulting in multiple severe tripping hazards. Concerned about potential injuries, she sought a reliable repair solution that didn’t require her to have to fully replace the concrete. Following a thorough inspection by our Design Specialist, a plan was created to lift, level, and stabilize the slabs with our PolyLevel solution. After reviewing this plan with Constance, our team soon began injecting PolyLevel directly beneath the concrete, successfully lifting the slabs back to their proper level. Now, Constance no longer has to worry about potential tripping injuries, as her concrete patio is now permanently leveled and stabilized.

To fix it, our team injected PolyLevel beneath the concrete, lifting, leveling, and stabilizing the walkway. Now Joseph’s entryway is safe, even, and permanently protected against future settlement.
