An older homeowner in Warren, MI was able to get the help they needed thanks to their adult child. Together, they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair regarding their concrete issues. The homeowner was preparing to sell the house and wanted to ensure there would be no issues during inspections. It was important that they get the maximum property value. HomeSpec sent one of their project managers out to the house for a free inspection and to develop a repair plan.
There were a couple of areas surrounding the home where concrete had sunk and cracked. These issues created steeper steps and tripping hazards. The project manager proposed letting the HomeSpec team use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to raise the concrete to its original position and level the area. Then, they could repair the cracks and joints by using NexusPro sealant. Lastly, the concrete would have SealantPro applied to protect it from the elements. The homeowner agreed to this proposal and planned to have HomeSpec move forward with the project. A PolyLevel foreman, Fred, led a team in this endeavor. Together, they were able to raise the concrete slab the entire height of a brick, making the step less steep and less of a tripping hazard. The homeowner was happy with the final results!
The porch on this Hartland home was sinking and pulling away from the foundation - and it was quite unsightly. So the homeowners contacted the professionals here at HomeSpec.
Thankfully, our PolyLevel system quickly and permanently solves problems like this. The PolyLevel foam just had to be injected underneath the concrete, then it expanded and filled in the gaps caused by soil erosion and shrinkage. As it expanded, the porch was raised up back into its original position.
These homeowners contacted HomeSpec to have their concrete garage floor repaired - it was sinking so bad that there were large gaps between the floor and the wall. It was quite unsightly!
Our crew used PolyLevel to permanently raise the slabs back into place. We also sealed all of the joints with our NexusPro joint sealant - leaving the garage floor looking brand new. The sealant protects the concrete from soil compaction and washout to prevent more sinking! See more photos here.
This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because the walkway leading to their house was very uneven - causing tripping hazards. The porch was also cracked and sinking and needed to be repaired.
Our team solved this issue permanently with our PolyLevel system. Through a dime-sized hole, we injected a polyurethane foam underneath the concrete. As it expanded, the slabs were lifted up back into place. The joints and cracks were then sealed with our strong silicone-based sealant. And the walkway was even once more!
An Ortonville, MI homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to repair a concrete driveway. Not only were there cracks but some of the slabs had begun to sink. This gap even allowed grass to grow through the concrete. This particular homeowner was already very familiar with the company because they had been hired before. They had owned two homes throughout the years and HomeSpec encapsulated both crawl spaces. When it came time for more repairs, they already knew what company they wanted to work with.
A senior project manager named Erik visited the home and evaluated the cracked driveway. He was the same project manager who had done their last inspection for the crawl space. Erik discussed his findings with the homeowner and together they came up with a plan that met the homeowner’s goals. The homeowner agreed to let HomeSpec’s team use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slabs up again until the entire driveway was level again. Then, the crew would seal the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The group that completed this project was led by a PolyLevel foreman named Fred. The homeowner was happy with the final results!
