HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A garage and driveway in Troy, MI had cracked slabs of concrete that were no longer level. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see if they could help raise the garage entrance slab and inquired about how much a estimate would be. A call center representative scheduled the homeowner for an inspection with Jeremiah, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers. At that appointment, Jeremiah would be able to give a precise estimate.

On the day of the appointment, Jeremiah took detailed measurements and notes of the concrete in question. Other observations of the exterior of the home also helped him to dictate what the best course of action would be. He then discussed a repair plan with the homeowner so they could identify the price of the project. Jeremiah proposed lifting the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and then the cracks and joints would have NexusPro sealant applied. This addressed leveling the driveway and garage as the homeowner desired; however, Jeremiah also wanted to prevent more sinking from occurring in the future. He proposed installing a downspout extension so water would no longer wash over the driveway. The homeowner agreed to all of the ideas proposed and moved forward with the project.

A homeowner in Troy, MI had us install a drainage system on three of the four walls in their basement to prevent leaking in 2018, but now, water is leaking through the wall which we didn't install the system on and they wanted us to come out and finish waterproofing the entire basement. 

A Troy, MI homeowner noticed a while ago that there were growing cracks in the foundation wall. They decided to have it fixed; however, after more time had gone by, the cracks began to worsen. The homeowner desired a permanent fix so they would not have to repair the same cracks again. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to receive a free inspection.

Ted, a senior project manager, went out to the home and investigated the cracks in question. After gauging the situation, he proposed a plan to the homeowner. He suggested drilling through the wall and using a high pressure urethane crack injection to fill any voids and completely seal the cracks. The homeowner agreed with this plan and later witnessed the completed project. Mike, a service technician, was in charge of this foundation wall crack repair and left the homeowner happy with the work.

This Harsens Island homeowner wanted to build over his old garage and renovate it, but he had a problem. The interior and exterior block walls were covered in stair-step cracks and the structure was in bad shape. He wanted these repaired, so he called the experts at HomeSpec.

Our foundation specialists took a road trip (and then a ferry) up to Harsens Island to inspect the problem and provide a proposal. They ended up discovering that the cracks were a result of something more serious - foundation sinking. The problem would only get worse, and only fixing the cosmetic issues wouldn't solve anything. 

This happened because the soil under the foundation was too unstable/loose to support it. Helical piers were needed to stabilize the structure. The piers are screwed deep into stronger, more competent soil. They anchor into the ground and the weight of the foundation is transferred to prevent further sinking. They can even lift the foundation to its original position!

Now that the garage is stabilized, the homeowner is excited to continue with his renovations! 

A homeowner in Mount Clemens, MI had been experiencing the issue of a crack in their basement wall leaking for a number of years and finally wanted to have it sealed. They reached out to us for a solution and we recommended installing the Carbon Armor as well as filling the crack with High Powered Urethane Crack injection to prevent it from leaking in the future.
