This homeowner in Westland, Michigan contacted HomeSpec to repair a driveway slab and some garage slabs that were cracked and sinking.
Foreman Devin Parker used the PolyLevel method to repair the concrete. The high-density rigid foam is first injected below the slab through smalls holes. As it expands, the slab is lifted and leveled. This material is stable and strong, and environmentally safe.
The homeowner was able to use his driveway and garage again that same day, and was happy to find a permanent solution for his concrete issues!
Pretty much everyone with a basement deals with foundation wall cracks. Some can be left alone, some leak and some indicate larger foundation issues. This large vertical crack in a Westland, Michigan basement would leak after heavy rain and only got larger as time went on. The homeowner finally wanted it repaired permanently and professionally, so she called HomeSpec BasementFix.
Our crack technician Domonique Price filled the crack with a high-pressure urethane injection. This seals the crack and prevents water from leaking through. The process is quick, easy and permanent.
The homeowner was happy that the repair held up against the summer's heavy rains, and now has a dry basement for the first time in a long time!
A homeowner in Westland, MI has been in the same house for 20 years. They moved in shortly after the home was built in 2003. Throughout the years, they have used the basement as a storage area. Unfortunately, cracks had developed and began to leak. During some of the heavy rains in recent years, so much water had leaked into the basement that the homeowner was concerned their stored items would be damaged. With these concerns in mind, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.
One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Erik, went out to the home and inspected the homeowner’s concerns. He also looked around at other spots that grabbed his attention as a trained inspector such as the outside of the home. Afterward, Erik made a proposal for the homeowner and together they decided what would best meet the home’s needs. The homeowner decided on a WaterGuard® interior drainage system and CleanSpace® vapor barrier. This combination would capture any water from the walls or floor and lead it to an existing basin. These repairs were installed by teams led by foreman Jon and plumber Rick. The homeowner was happy that their belongings would be safe in the basement moving forward.
A Westland, MI homeowner was concerned about the scent of mold emanating from their crawl space. They wanted to control the moisture issues and be able to enjoy the home they’ve been in for the last 24 years. Accomplishing this would improve the quality of life for their family and pet. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection to learn more about their options.
Zach, a senior project manager, visited the home and immediately noticed the smell the homeowner mentioned. He explored the crawl space and took notes of what he observed. He then brought this information to the homeowner so they could create a repair plan together. Zach recommended applying Mold-X2 to address the mold and then installing an EverLast™ Crawl Space Vent Cover to ward off moisture in the future. The homeowner agreed to this plan and the homeowner then worked with the HomeSpec team to schedule a team for the installation process. The crew was led by a foreman named Jon. When they completed the project, the homeowner was pleased with the finished product.
