Oviedo, FL's Foundation Repair & Crawl Space Repair Experts

After living in her house for two years, a homeowner in Oviedo, FL, wanted to finally address a lingering issue. Water from the gutters/gutter downspouts would collect near the house, especially after heavy rains. The owner didn’t want this water to leak inside and cause problems inside her home.

During her search for repair options, the owner came across information about Florida Foundation Authority online. She contacted us and then met with one of our inspectors. Our inspector completed a thorough evaluation of the home’s exterior drainage system, and he presented the owner with some upgrade options.

One of our crews then extended the downspouts by placing thick, reliable pipes in the ground and directing them to drain away from the house. YardWell outlets also were used to conceal the ends of these lines in the yard.

The homeowner is pleased to have an updated exterior drainage system that will help keep her home dry.

After living in their house for several years, homeowners in Oviedo, FL, noticed the cracking and sinking concrete around their pool deck getting worse. The gaps between concrete slabs resulted in tripping hazards, which is especially dangerous near a swimming pool.

The homeowners were concerned with the safety and appearance of their pool deck, and they wanted to find the best possible repair solution. They contacted Florida Foundation Authority after learning about our company online. One of our inspectors completed a thorough assessment of the concrete, and he recommended having one of our crews use the unique PolyRenewal System to lift, level and stabilize the problematic concrete.

This involved first drilling very small holes into the cracking and sinking slabs, and then placing injection ports in these holes. Special equipment was then used to inject high-density polyurethane underneath the concrete slabs. This material expands to fill the voids, and this allows for the exact lifting and leveling of the slabs. PolyRenewal is lightweight, yet very durable. It will never wash out from underneath the concrete slabs, and its quick cure time allows for normal traffic to resume just 15 minutes after installation. The cracks, gaps, and joints also were filled and protected with joint sealant.

The homeowners were excited to have this state of the art repair project completed so their pool will be a safer area.

Homeowners in Oviedo,FL, called Florida Foundation Authority with worries about their sinking and uneven concrete. They were stressed over water pooling around their home as well.

One of our inspectors then completed a thorough evaluation of the problematic concrete. Our inspector confirmed that there were voids under the concrete that were making the slabs sink. He explained that PolyRenewal could be utilized to repair this issue. He also noticed that the water issue could be repaired by replacing and diverting the downspout lines to the road.

The PolyRenewal framework includes directing foam under the concrete through small openings. The foam expands like mousse under the slab and fills the voids underneath. PolyRenewal solidifies in minutes and is safe to walk or drive on.

One of our crews then installed the new downspouts and PolyRenewal. In this specific case, it lifted the concrete around two inches! We also have seen occurrences where it lifted it considerably more.

The homeowners are pleased with the outcome, and they no longer need to worry about unsightly tripping hazards or wetness around their home.
