Quick Overview

iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

LRE Foundation Repair began in 1989 as Lar-Rays Excavating in Hernando County and now employs more than 130 people, which makes it one of the larger specialists in Florida for water and settlement problems under slab and crawl space homes. Its Largo office, about 15 miles from downtown Tampa, handles Tampa Bay work, and its own Tampa pages list crawl space waterproofing and drainage solutions. Services include crawl space encapsulation with sump pumps, SmartPipe drainage and drainage matting, French drains, downspout extensions, channel drains, SmartJack support, push piers and PolyLevel concrete lifting. The core trade is foundation repair, so read it as a structural firm that sells real water control. LRE shows 4.8 from 543 Google reviews, read October 21, 2026, and the company holds Florida contractor ID CBC1256398.

  • Operating since 1989, now more than 130 employees across Florida offices
  • Core trade is foundation and sinkhole repair, so pure waterproofing buyers should ask what share of its work is drainage.

Editorial Review

Our Take on LRE Foundation Repair

LRE is a foundation and sinkhole specialist first, so we count its drainage and crawl space work as a strength tied to structure rather than a pure waterproofing trade. Reviews praise named crews, clear explanations and next-day fixes. Its Largo base is about 15 miles from Tampa, which is the main caveat.

    Very good job. My driveway was a tripping hazard. They did a very professional job.

    Could not be happier with the job that they did. My sidewalk is no longer a tripping hazard and is so nice and flat. The guy showed up, repaired my sidewalk quickly and cleaned up very well after themselves I couldn’t ask for anything more.

  • Linda c5.0

    Everyone with LRE that I’ve dealt with from getting the estimate to actually doing the work has been very friendly and professional. The team that came out to do the encapsulation kept me updated on everything they were doing. They answered all my questions about the process and explained everything fully. When they were done, they cleaned everything up. I highly recommend this company for anyone with crawlspace issues. They do excellent work.

    Communication was excellent. Tim explained each step of process clearly. He and his crew were very polite and courteous, and they did a great clean up afterwards. It was a pleasure. Thanks Tim!

    Frankie and his crew did a great job! They were very thorough and so great to work with. Could not be happier with my experience with them.

  • Michael Mason5.0

    We had some heaving in our driveway and we luckily found LRE Foundation to help with fixing it. Their work exceeded our expectations!! They came and assessed the problem, then we scheduled the job. We could have just fixed one area that was bad, but in the original assessment we were offered a full driveway repair, all the expansion joints and several cracks were filled, each area was made solid by drilling and putting product in that leveled each area. The two young men that did the actual work-Rowan and Gary, called on their way to inform us of their arrival, and then did a very thorough and professional job. We could not be happier.

Company Background

About LRE Foundation Repair

LRE Foundation Repair started in 1989 as Lar-Rays Excavating, a three-person crew in Hernando County, and has grown to more than 130 employees. The company says it became the largest sinkhole repair company in Florida, and in 2026 it won a BBB Torch Award for Ethics in the large business category. Foundation repair is still its core trade, but water control is a regular part of the work, and readers should know that before booking.

For Tampa, LRE's own site lists crawl space waterproofing, drainage solutions, foundation repair and concrete repair. The crawl space package pairs encapsulation with a sump pump, SmartPipe wall drainage and floor drainage matting, and adds SmartJack steel supports where floors sag. On the surface-water side it installs downspout extensions, French drains, percolation trenches and channel drains, such as a 4 inch channel drain cut into a pool deck in Seminole. SmartJacks carry a 25 year warranty through Supportworks, and LRE advertises written, transferable warranties.

The office is at 2150 34th Way N in Largo, roughly 15 miles from downtown Tampa. Reviewers name the people involved. Shane Goforth assessed one crawl space that LRE then encapsulated with a dehumidifier and sump system, with Frank leading the crew. Phil walked another homeowner through what he found before the family chose encapsulation and SmartJacks. A third customer thanked Rick, Wilving, Antonio and Mike for rerouting a sump pump drain without cracking a paver on his pool deck. One reviewer said a small issue after installation was fixed the next day. LRE has 4.8 stars from 543 Google reviews, read October 21, 2026.

It suits Tampa Bay owners of raised or crawl space homes, and anyone whose water problem is tied to settlement, sinking slabs or pool decks. It suits less well a homeowner who only wants a cheap gutter fix, since drainage is a sideline to foundation work. Before booking, confirm contractor ID CBC1256398 on the Florida DBPR lookup at myfloridalicense.com, ask for proof of insurance, and request warranty terms in writing for each product on your quote.
