Basement Floor & Wall Crack Repair in Greater Detroit

This homeowner in Westland, MI noticed a crack in their basement about ten years ago. They did a DIY repair that fixed the problem for a while but unfortunately did not permanently keep the water out. During some heavy rain, the leak returned creating a small river. They cleaned it up but do not want to have to replace their finished floor. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a solution. 

The senior project manager, Ben, proposed using a polyurethane sealant that HomeSpec uses regularly for this type of repair. With only one basement wall crack to repair, it would be handled quickly and permanently. The homeowner agreed and HomeSpec’s service technician, Mike, was scheduled to lead a team in the work. As expected, the repair was completed in just one day. The homeowner was happy with HomeSpec’s service from start to finish and even left a positive review!

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! 

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. 

Did you know that HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair does work on housing cooperatives and apartments as well as single-family homes? In this case, Homespec was contacted by a management company to fix a few vertical cracks in the basement walls of a co-op unit in Center Line, MI. These types of cracks can be easily repaired by one of HomeSpec’s foremen using high pressure urethane injections. The manager agreed to let HomeSpec move forward with the repairs.

A PolyLevel foreman, Domonique, injected a material that expanded behind the crack to fill in the gaps where water might pass through. The crack was then sealed to provide a permanent, waterproof solution. The company was happy with the crack repairs and happy knowing a new resident would be able to enjoy every floor of the unit. 

A homeowner in Southfield, MI originally reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with interest in external waterproofing solutions. Unfortunately, water was entering their basement and causing trouble. HomeSpec did help with waterproofing the home thanks to the foremen, Vernon and Ryan, and their team. All was well that could be seen. However, hiding behind a section of drywall in a new area, there was a large foundation crack that later began to leak. 

The homeowner reached back out to HomeSpec and a project manager soon visited. This project manager inspected the crack and came up with a plan to fix the leak. They proposed to the homeowner that HomeSpec use a high pressure urethane injection to stop the leak. The injected material would fill the space behind the foundation wall that was allowing water to enter the basement. The repair team would then seal the crack on the inside of the wall to further prevent leaks.
