Reputable provider of Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Tuscola County

This homeowner often hosted summer parties in his backyard for friends, family and neighbors. They would swim, barbecue and make awesome memories together, but there was one problem - the patio was severely cracked with ugly weeds growing in between. Since the homeowner always had people over he wanted his backyard to look as nice as possible, so he called HomeSpec to repair the patio. 

Our crew leveled the sinking slabs with the PolyLevel system first. Then they filled the cracks and joints with the NexusPro joint sealant. This prevents unsightly weeds from growing in the cracks, and keeps water from getting under the concrete and washing away the soil. 

The patio looked good as new, and the homeowner was shocked! He's very excited to host parties again this summer. 

This Vassar, Michigan homeowner contacted HomeSpec because his foundation was in bad shape. The walls were not only cracked and bowing inward, but water was also seeping in and causing damage. The structural integrity of the home was at risk, and the homeowner wanted a permanent solution.

Matt L. contacted HomeSpec to repair the concrete around his home, including the driveway and walkway. The problem he was facing was that the concrete was very uneven and cracked. It made the curb appeal of the home suffer. Other companies wanted to charge an arm and a leg to rip out the old concrete and re-pour everything, but Matt wanted a more simple solution. 

Luckily for him, HomeSpec offers the cost-effective and proven PolyLevel method. We injected our expanding rigid foam below the sinking concrete slabs to lift and level it with the rest. This method installs and cures in one day so Matt can use his driveway and walkway again without a hassle. He was very pleased with his decision and happy with how brand new his concrete now looks.

Our concrete specialists came up with a plan for repair and the homeowner was shocked over how much cheaper and quicker the repairs were going to be! That's because PolyLevel is a less-abrasive method. The innovative expanding foam is injected under the concrete to fill in gaps caused by soil erosion.

A homeowner in Akron, Michigan., had uneven concrete slabs in their driveway from soil shifting and settling over the years. This was becoming a severe tripping hazard for them and their family, so they reached out to HomeSpec as a reputable concrete lifting contractor and expert in the field. 

We solved this problem using our PolyLevel system. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. This fast and efficient solution provides the homeowner with a sense of relief for years to come.

This homeowner in Akron, Mi approached HomeSpec with concerns about their sinking driveway. The concrete where the driveway met their garage had notably sunk 3 inches over the years and could even be felt when backing out of the garage. They wanted the opinion of a concrete lifting contractor near Akron, to better help them understand the situation and provide a solution.

To that end, our crew used the PolyLevel system to help lift the concrete back into place, and ensure it was both level and flush with the garage. The foam injected with the system quickly expands and cures within 15 minutes, helping provide an efficient, long-lasting solution. This homeowner was more than pleased to no longer have that "intrusive bump" as part of their morning commute.

A family in Akron, Mi., knew their home was sinking over years of settlement, creating a major foundation issue. They only took action when a guest pointed out that the floors were noticeably separating and leaving gaps where they used to meet the floor. Embarrassed that it needed to be pointed out by a house guest, they reached out to a foundation repair contractor that would service their area.

We used helical piers to help restore stability to the home. A helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier.

The homeowners quickly noticed a change in their home's general appearance and a newly restored sense of comfortability.

A resident in Cass City, Mi had noticed their basement foundation walls bowing inwards over time, to the point that notable jagged step like crack patterns were forming. They needed to stabilize and secure their foundation walls before the damage got further out of hand.

In order to help them prevent the wall from leaning in at the top and moving further inward, we introduced our Carbon Armor system; an ideal, non-invasive solution for permanent stabilization of block foundation walls. Stronger than steel and locked into place with straps that are adhered with a high-strength epoxy resin that deeply penetrates both the carbon fiber material and the wall itself.

A Cass City, Mi homeowner bought a 100-year old house as their first proper home. However, they knew it would require some restoration work. The house was leaning and settling, notably lopsided, and she could even see some horizontal and vertical cracking in the foundation.

Our team quickly filled the cracks with high pressure urethane injections for an effective seal. We installed the EverBrace Wall Restoration System to permanently stabilize the wall. Able to handle the most extreme failing foundation walls while protecting against future damage, this system uses a combination of steel corrugated panels that span between steel I-beams to strengthen the existing structure. A specialized rigid foam is injected behind the panels filling voids and transferring the weight. We also used our helical pier system to help lift and realign the home to a reasonable level!

This Cass City, Mi homeowner reached out to HomeSpec to help address and level their sagging floors above their crawl space.

An ideal solution to provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in crawl spaces, we used our SmartJack crawl space support system for efficient and effective results

The homeowner saw the full effect of our solution so fast, that they’d review that it felt like they just moved in all over again.

A Deford, Mi homeowner reached out to us for help with concrete lifting and leveling. Their garage floor was comprised of four large concrete slabs; however, one had begun to sink in on one corner, raising another up in turn. This was becoming both a tripping hazard, and a possible hazard for popping a tire if they exited their garage the wrong way.

By injecting a high-strength polyurethane foam underneath the slabs through pea-sized drill holes, we could lift the concrete back to its proper position. The foam would fill in the empty voids left by settling/shifting soil that caused the slab to sink in the first place, expanding and curing for a fast, and efficient concrete lifting solution. We would go on to apply joint sealant around the slabs as a final precaution to ensure customer satisfaction

This Deford, Mi, found themselves with a steadily sinking deck. They worried for their family’s safety and wanted to be able to reliably use it without fear again.

To help restore their peace of mind, our crew solved this problem with the use of helical piers. A helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. Additional sections can be added to the pier until it reaches the necessary depth.

A family in Deford, Mi called us for assistance with a sagging floor above their crawl space. The wife would report the situation as “the floor kept feeling lighter, and honestly, we’re afraid it might give way eventually”.

Our crew would install our powerful SmartJack to help lift the floor back to level. These crawl space supports are a great way to restore foundation integrity and can be easily adjusted at any point should the need ever arise.

A Fairgrove, Mi resident needed their concrete leveled near their front porch. Primarily because their installed concrete handicap ramp had begun sinking slightly below the level edge of the porch, creating an unwelcome bump for their wheelchair bound family member.

This Fairgrove, Mi homeowner reached out to HomeSpec for in an issue involving foundation repair. Foundation walls not only support the weight of the home, but also must resist horizontal pressure from the soil outside created by the weight of water saturation over time. That’s what ultimately led to their walls bowing inward steadily over the years.

Our crew would install the PowerBrace system to help permanently eliminate any further inward movement and even potentially reverse the effects of wall failure. This system can effectively stabilize block and poured concrete walls without the need for heavy equipment in its installation. It can also be tightened during dry seasons to help straighten the wall over time.

A family in Fairgrove, Mi was becoming increasingly concerned by their floors feeling more and more "bouncy" over time, as they described.  This phenomenon is usually an indication for the need for crawl space beam and support joist stabilization.

That’s exactly what we were able to provide with our SmartJack system. This system addresses weak foundation soils by creating a solid base of engineered fill to distribute the weight of the home. With this adjustable solution in place, the homeowners felt relieved that they no longer had to worry about the concerning bouncy floor feeling from before.

A Gagetown, Mi resident reached out to HomeSpec to help level the concrete comprising their back porch. One of the slabs near the back entrance had sunken a few inches over the years and was continually tripping up the homeowner.

This was an easy fix with our PolyLevel System! Polyurethane foam is injected to fill the void underneath the slab, allowing it to expand as it cures, easily pushing and lifting the slab back to its proper level. We also used our NexusPro joint sealant to ensure a long-lasting waterproof seal. Doing so would prevent water from seeping through and starting the problem over again!

A home in Gagetown, Mi had slowly been settling over the years, sinking into the ground. This can often occur due to the shifting of unstable soil below a foundation. It's wise to address these issues sooner rather than later, because any foundation issue has potential to evolve into a major problem.

Slab piers are push piers designed specifically to stabilize and (in some cases) raise slabs that have settled. This type of pier is driven into the soil in the settlement area, deep enough to connect the slab to stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock. The helical blades anchor to the soil as the pier is essentially screwed into the ground. This solution can extend to great depths to contact stable soil or bedrock, while being completely hidden after installation holes are filled for a clean finish!

This homeowner had a bowing basement wall, bending inwards. At first, they thought they could ignore the problem; that is until the problem decided to demand the owner’s attention by cracking the walls over time and starting to let water in during the rain seasons.

Our crew would seal the cracks with high pressure injections, before installing the EverBrace System to address the foundation repair issue. EverBrace permanently stabilizes even extreme failing foundation walls with its power steel-I beams and steel corrugated panels. A specialized rigid foam is also injected behind the steel panels, filling voids, and transferring the load from the failing wall to the new support!

Always address foundation repair needs as soon as you are able, they can quickly snowball out of control and require more work to rectify. Thankfully, HomeSpec is always prepared!

A resident of Kingston, Mi reached out to HomeSpec for help with getting their shifting sidewalk properly aligned and level. Originally, they were considering concrete replacement, but heard that we could offer a solution without the ugly patchwork effect of replacement.

That solution was using our PolyLevel system, which injects a powerful polyurethane foam underneath the concrete, that’s so light it barely adds any weight to supporting soils. Instead, the foam will expand as it cures to help lift and level the concrete slabs back into place and are ready to be used again in just a few minutes.
