HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

These homeowners contacted HomeSpec because their crawl space was very humid and water was seeping in.

Our crew solved this problem by encapsulating the crawl space to keep it clean, dry, healthy, and free from mold and moisture for a more comfortable home. 

These homeowners in Canton, MI were concerned about their uneven driveway. They worried about the trip hazard not only for themselves but for friends and family. Another point that led them to want repairs was disliking the sunken appearance of their new home. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. The project manager, Noah, did a walk-around with the homeowners to gauge the scenario. His suggestion to lift the concrete and seal the joints aligned with the homeowners’ vision and a HomeSpec crew was then scheduled for the repairs.

The PolyLevel foreman, Fred, led the crew in this concrete leveling service. They drilled holes into the sunken slabs and then used the PolyLevel® injection foam to lift the concrete until it was level with the other slabs. After ensuring the driveway was properly leveled, the team sealed the joints using NexusPro to offer a clean final look and protect the driveway.

A homeowner in Canton, MI noticed that over the last year, their driveway had more cracks than ever before. They wanted to seal these cracks and raise areas of the concrete that had sunk over time. Ideally, the driveway would be protected from cracks in the future, too. They plan to be in this home for the next ten years, until their child graduates. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Noah, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home and inspected the driveway. He explained to the homeowner that this did align with HomeSpec’s repair plan and how the work would be completed. First, the team would cut through the plants growing in between the concrete. Then, where the concrete needed to be lifted, small holes would be drilled through to the other side. These holes would allow the foreman to use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the concrete back into place. Finally, the joints would be sealed using NexusPro sealant. This would secure the driveway and provide a clean aesthetic. The homeowner agreed to this plan and had HomeSpec’s PolyLevel foreman, Domonique, and his team move forward with the repairs. They were very happy with the finished product!
