HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A couple in Canton, MI loved their home and planned to pass it on to their kids one day in the future. Unfortunately, that vision was in danger of falling apart due to foundation problems. They could see the family room was sinking more and more as time went on. It was evident by the 1.5 inch gap between the wall and hardwood flooring. The homeowners struggled to enjoy the space as they feared it would get worse. With the desire to host family gatherings and protect their home, they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

HomeSpec sent one of their project managers, Jeremiah, to inspect the home’s situation and make a fitting recommendation. Many settlement issues can be fixed using piers or some other form of floor support. However, this home required a different approach. Jeremiah suggested using PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slab the family room sits on and then seal any cracks by using NexusPro sealant. The homeowners agreed to this plan and then scheduled a HomeSpec team to do the work. Fred, a foreman who specializes in PolyLeveling jobs, led the crew and together they completed the job within one day. The homeowners were happy with the final results and would later install new flooring.

Prolonged instances of water damage to walls can become a very unsightly problem, especially with drywall being prone to mold growth when water damaged. The first instance shows a situation where a homeowner wasn't sure of the source, but water was seeping into her basement along her walls, staining and damaging them. The second image however, shows our installed BrightWall system. BrightWall is a fully waterproof solution and creates a vapor barrier on the basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity, ensuring the homeowner won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. BrightWall provides a lively clean look to the space while it also directs water seepage into the perimeter drain. Quite an impressive difference in visual appeal and functionality! 

Our team encapsulated a crawl space and installed an interior drainage system. 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec about water leaking into his basement through cracks in the wall. 

Our crew repaired the cracks by injecting them with our long-lasting polyurethane sealant, preventing any future water issues. 

A homeowner that was experiencing a persistent leak in their basement every time it rained reached out to us in order to help them solve their problem. When we arrived, we noticed the size of the crack and recommended they have it filled with high powered urethane crack injection in order to stop the leak as well as prevent the crack from opening again in the future.
