Before & After Photos

A couple in Canton, MI loved their home and planned to pass it on to their kids one day in the future. Unfortunately, that vision was in danger of falling apart due to foundation problems. They could see the family room was sinking more and more as time went on. It was evident by the 1.5 inch gap between the wall and hardwood flooring. The homeowners struggled to enjoy the space as they feared it would get worse. With the desire to host family gatherings and protect their home, they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

HomeSpec sent one of their project managers, Jeremiah, to inspect the home’s situation and make a fitting recommendation. Many settlement issues can be fixed using piers or some other form of floor support. However, this home required a different approach. Jeremiah suggested using PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slab the family room sits on and then seal any cracks by using NexusPro sealant. The homeowners agreed to this plan and then scheduled a HomeSpec team to do the work. Fred, a foreman who specializes in PolyLeveling jobs, led the crew and together they completed the job within one day. The homeowners were happy with the final results and would later install new flooring.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec about water leaking into his basement through cracks in the wall. 

Our crew repaired the cracks by injecting them with our long-lasting polyurethane sealant, preventing any future water issues. 

This family in Ann Arbor, MI wanted to have the crawl space in their new home encapsulated to prevent any future damage or odors from coming into the living space.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI experienced a shock most people won’t, their home was hit by a neighbor’s car. There was damage to both the outside and inside of the house which included a horizontal crack lining the foundation wall. The homeowner wanted to have the damage repaired and prevent the foundation from getting worse. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a professional evaluation.

Mark, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, visited the house to inspect the true scope of the damage and develop a repair plan. He took notes of the measurements and then spoke with the homeowner about the best way to repair their home. Mark suggested installing CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to secure the foundation wall and prevent it from moving or bowing. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a crew to move forward with the project. They were happy with the completed project and looking forward to turning the basement into a living area now that the foundation was stable.

In Livonia, MI, two realtors worked together to make the sale and purchase of a home as simple as possible. They were both working with family members and strived for the best outcome for both parties. The buyer and the seller wanted to ensure the house was structurally sound. Having peace of mind that the house was safe and healthy was a priority, so they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Mark, went out to the home and entered the crawl space. While he was there, Mark took measurements and notes so he could accurately diagnose the problem and create a repair plan. He shared that the best solution would be to install SmartJack® support posts where there were cinderblocks holding up beams in the crawl space. This would provide a more stable support that would not crack or crumble with time. They agreed with this plan and HomeSpec was scheduled to install the SmartJack® support posts. Jon, one of HomeSpec’s foremen, led an installation team. The final results accomplished the buyer and seller's goal of safer structural support.
