Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Cracks in the basement floor of a Grosse Pointe Woods, MI, home were growing in both size and frequency. The homeowner was becoming concerned that there were significant issues with the foundation, but they could not tell for sure due to the drywall and carpet throughout the basement. They contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to get a free inspection and determine the best course of action.

A senior project manager named Keith went out to the house and met with the homeowner. They described the symptoms in the basement and expressed worries about there being problems with the foundation, especially if the problems worsened with time. Keith thoroughly investigated the basement and prepared ideas for a repair plan. He presented them to the homeowner, and together, they came to an agreement. Depending on the severity of damage behind the drywall, using a CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System and PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System would prevent walls from bowing and cracking any further. The homeowner then scheduled a team, led by a foreman named Jim, to install those products. They were happy with the final results and were reassured that the foundation issues would not get worse.

A homeowner in Dexter, MI with a persistent leak in their basement called us out to reinfect a crack that was causing water to leak into the basement and cause them trouble. Our crew used High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal the crack and prevent any more water from entering the home.

A homeowner with a house that was built over 100 years ago wanted to have their foundation supported because it had begun to sink in one corner. We installed the Helical Piers in order to save the foundation as well as raise the home back to its original level. We dug out the area around the foundation in order to insert the Helical Piers and once it was complete we replaced all the excavated dirt. 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec after she bought a home with severe foundation issues, including a wall that was cracked from top to bottom and bowing - and ultimately at risk of collapsing. 

Our team of experts straightened the wall and pushed it back into place. It was waterproofed from the outside, and the cracks were repaired with our polyurethane sealant then reinforced by power grids on the inside. The walls were permanently stabilized by a carbon fiber system and a power brace system to prevent movement in the future. 

This homeowner is now so happy and ready to enjoy her new home knowing her basement is stable and dry. 

Our crews were called to a job where multiple basement walls were cracked. We installed I-beams to stabilize the walls.

An interior drainage system was also installed in the basement.
