Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because she had a vertical crack (shown in photo) in her foundation that was leaking. 

She wanted it repaired from the outside, so our crew excavated that section of the wall and sealed the crack to waterproof and stabilized the foundation (shown in second photo). Once the dirt was filled back in, it looked good as new!

A stabilization system was installed on the walls of the basement. Our crew also installed an interior drainage system. 

Beams were used to stabilize basement walls that were cracked. 

A homeowner in Sterling Heights, MI with a leaking crack in their wall called us out to fill them and give them peace of mind that the walls would no longer be damaged due to the leaking rod holes.

This Harsens Island homeowner wanted to build over his old garage and renovate it, but he had a problem. The interior and exterior block walls were covered in stair-step cracks and the structure was in bad shape. He wanted these repaired, so he called the experts at HomeSpec.

Our foundation specialists took a road trip (and then a ferry) up to Harsens Island to inspect the problem and provide a proposal. They ended up discovering that the cracks were a result of something more serious - foundation sinking. The problem would only get worse, and only fixing the cosmetic issues wouldn't solve anything. 

This happened because the soil under the foundation was too unstable/loose to support it. Helical piers were needed to stabilize the structure. The piers are screwed deep into stronger, more competent soil. They anchor into the ground and the weight of the foundation is transferred to prevent further sinking. They can even lift the foundation to its original position!

Now that the garage is stabilized, the homeowner is excited to continue with his renovations!
