Helical Piers Lift Sinking Slab in Flushing, MI

A homeowner in Flushing, MI requested an inspection from HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see if the company could level the concrete of their two-car garage. However, when Ted, the senior project manager, began the inspection, he knew this home had other concerns that would need to be addressed. The cracks were caused because the concrete slab was sinking. It had sunk so much that the floor had separated from the wall enough to see light from outside through the gap. Ted highly encouraged the homeowner to have the foundation lifted back to its proper level before repairing the cracks to ensure everything was repaired correctly. The homeowner agreed to have both repairs done by HomeSpec’s team.

The foreman, Ryan, led the team in lifting the garage back into its original place. They dug out the ground down to the foundation and used helical piers on two sides of the garage to lift it. After ensuring the house was secure, the space was filled with dirt. Other HomeSpec teams repaired the concrete cracks after the lift was completed. The homeowner was happy with all of the work and could rest easy knowing the repairs would not be an issue in the future.
