Reliable Concrete & Foundation Repair in Keego Harbor

A family that had recently inherited a second home from their father was growing increasingly concerned with the condition of the floors. They had planned to sell it, but in order to receive a reasonable offer on the home and move back to Tennessee, these homeowners in Ferndale, MI needed to address the uneven, sagging floors in their living space. The first step in restoring the property value for this family was to search for the best crawl space repair companies nearby, this would allow them to have a professional look at the problem and provide a solution that fits their needs the best. This is what led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix and schedule an appointment.

Our qualified Project Manager arrived on time and assessed the damage, explaining the causes of the uneven floors and noted how the laundry room specifically had floors that needed to be lifted as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Being impressed with the Project Managers  knowledge and professionalism, they were pleased to hear our crew would be able to solve their problem in no time. 

The best fit for this family was to recommend the SmartJack Support System.  The SmartJack Support System is a patented product designed to stabilize and level foundation systems, specifically crawl spaces. It is made of high-grade steel and is engineered to provide a stable support for the floors above. The system is adjustable year-round, allowing for precise leveling and stability, and can support loads of up to 60,000 pounds per support jack. The SmartJack is also resistant to moisture and pests, ensuring long-term durability and effectiveness. Overall, the SmartJack Support System is a versatile, durable, and effective solution for these homeowners, restoring their peace of mind.

The family was relieved to see the floors were no longer sagging into their crawlspace and were grateful for our prompt and effective service. They were happy with the solution and felt confident that their home would be attractive to potential buyers.

James and Sienna L. contacted HomeSpec because they realized their crawl space was the root of many issues in their home. They noticed that the floor above the crawl space was sagging and a bit bouncy and when they inspected down below, they found puddles of water across the muddy ground and mold on the rotting joists. The foul stench that they experienced explained the funky smells that they noticed throughout the home. 

HomeSpec came up with a custom solution for this problem. We first cleaned the contaminated mold surfaces with Mold-X2 and then repaired the rotting joists. To fix the ones that were sagging, we lifted them with our SmartJack support posts. We finally sealed off the crawl space from moisture with the CleanSpace vapor barrier. This blocks water vapor and prevents moisture from seeping in. 

James and Sienna noticed the smell immediately disappeared and the sagging floors were returned to normal. They were very thankful to the HomeSpec crews who made it all happen!
