Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

A family in Ann Arbor, MI hit their breaking point with their driveway. It had been a tripping hazard for years but when it had started sloping towards the house, water was pooling and flooding the basement. The family wanted to fix the sidewalk to prevent things from getting worse and creating more issues. This was a wish not only for themselves but for the next homeowners as they plan to sell in the near future. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to learn more about what could be done.

One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Elon, went out to the home and provided a free inspection. He saw the severity of the cracking but knew this was a job HomeSpec could help with. He discussed a repair plan with the homeowners and informed them of the two products needed to fix their driveway. A foreman who specializes in PolyLevel® Injection Foam, like Fred, would drill holes through the concrete and use the foam to lift and level the sunken areas. Once the concrete was even, then the team would repair the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The homeowners decided this was the best route for their driveway and scheduled HomeSpec out for the project. They were very happy to no longer have tripping hazards and to keep water away from the home’s foundation.

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI needed help with their unlevel concrete. Slabs throughout the driveway, sidewalk, and garage had shifted throughout the decade since moving into this home. They suspected the trouble with sinking concrete was caused by a family of chipmunks and a mole. With no plans to move, the homeowner decided to fix the driveway, sidewalk, and garage. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.

A senior project manager, Elon, went out to the home to evaluate the situation and provide a free inspection. He took measurements of the concerning areas and evaluated the integrity of the remaining areas as well. Afterward, he spoke with the homeowner to come up with a repair plan together. Elon explained that while critters may dig underneath the slabs, they are not the only cause of sinking concrete. The water from the downspout was causing soil to wash away. Elon suggested the repair consist of two parts, leveling the concrete and preventing it from sinking again. The leveling would be accomplished using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and NexusPro sealant would protect the joints. To further prevent soil from being washed away, Elon suggested extending the downspout and installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe. The homeowner agreed to this plan and was happy with the completed results! The team was led by Fred, a PolyLevel Foreman, and saw the project finalized.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI had worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in 2022 to level part of their driveway. A couple of years later, they decided to reach out once more. Not only was the concrete driveway cracked but grass and other plant life had grown through those weak spots. Worse of all, the slabs in the driveway had started rocking when driven over. The homeowner was prepared to have the rest of the driveway repaired and welcomed a HomeSpec project manager to inspect the scope of the work.

The project manager explained that the work would be similar to the work done back in 2022. The crew would clear away the plant life and then level the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Once the driveway was flat and even, then the crew would seal the cracks using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a PolyLevel foreman and team to come out to the house. This project was completed by Domonique and his team. The homeowner was happy with the final results!

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to get his concrete driveway repaired after putting it off for many years. Several slabs were sunken and cracked, causing a tripping hazard. He needed a permanent solution. 

Our team used PolyLevel to solve this problem. We injected an expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam under the concrete slabs to raise and level them by filling in gaps caused by soil shrinkage and washout. Then we sealed all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro sealant. Then the concrete was sealed with our SealantPro to protect and preserve it. This prevents discoloration, flaking, and cracking over time. The homeowner was so happy with how his driveway transformed! 

A pair of homeowners in Saint Clair Shores, MI planned to be in their house until it was time to move into a retirement home. Unfortunately, their driveway, garage, and patio all had cracks and were sinking which created tripping hazards. The driveway was so cracked that the concrete slabs appeared as worn out puzzle pieces. The homeowners knew they wanted these issues fixed sooner rather than later, so they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to get a free estimate.

One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Jeremiah, visited the residence and evaluated the concrete surrounding the home. He measured the dimensions as well as tested how deep a space was under the slabs. He then conversed with the homeowners about a plan to repair everything. Jeremiah shared that the products HomeSpec would use are PolyLevel® Injection Foam and NexusPro sealant. The crew would drill small holes through the concrete so the PolyLevel® Injection Foam reaches underneath the slabs and it would then lift them into place. Once all of the concrete was leveled, then the team would use NexusPro sealant to protect the joints and cracks. The homeowners agreed to this plan and later watched it come to life thanks to teams led by Domonique and Rick. They were happy with the final results!
