For many people, the concrete around their home is just an absolute eyesore. Cracked and sunken concrete negatively affects the curb appeal of the home, and even creates tripping hazards. Most people don't consider fixing it a priority because they think the task will be too much of a headache. That's what this Genesee homeowner thought about his driveway project. There were many cracked slabs, and there was a large gap between the house and the driveway.
But when a friend told him about HomeSpec's PolyLevel system, the homeowner finally decided to get his concrete repaired. After an inspector came out to see the damage and provide a proposal, our concrete specialists got to work.
With the PolyLevel system, a small penny-sized hole is drilled into the concrete. Then the expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam is injected underneath. As it expands, it fills in the voids between the soil and the slab. This raises the slab up and levels it with the rest of the concrete. And BOOM - it's finished! This is an environmentally safe, quick, non-invasive, cost-effective way to repair concrete.
Several slabs were cracked, so we filled them in with our NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was very pleased with the quick and easy process, and with how much better his driveway looks now!
This Sandusky, MI home was moved into a little over a year ago. The new homeowner wanted to focus on the maintenance for the home’s longevity, which included the outside assets. The sidewalk and another concrete slab had sunk and they needed to be lifted. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.
Noah, a project manager for HomeSpec, visited the home and investigated the property. Afterward, he discussed a repair plan with the homeowner. Noah shared that this was indeed a job HomeSpec could help with using specialized methods. The concrete could be lifted and leveled using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and then seal the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was interested in this approach and had HomeSpec move forward with the project. One of HomeSpec’s PolyLevel Foreman, Domonique, led his team in the repair. The homeowner was happy with their work and to have a newly leveled sidewalk.

This customer purchased a home from their grandfather a year ago with the plans of living there for a long time. In the excitement of renovating the home to include a man cave and a mudroom, the homeowner and their partner found black mold in the basement. In the year of living in their new home, their allergies had worsened and illness became apparent. The couple reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to not only get rid of the mold but also keep it away.
One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Elon, visited the home to provide a free inspection. He did a thorough assessment before returning to the homeowners to discuss a plan to repair their basement. Elon recommended first applying Mold-X2 and then moving on to the waterproofing efforts. This included installing an interior drainage system featuring WaterGuard® French drains, a new sump pump, a new sump pump discharge, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The couple agreed to this repair plan and scheduled a HomeSpec crew to move forward. The crew was led by a foreman named Vernon and any plumbing concerns were addressed by Rick. The homeowners were happy with the final results, being mold-free and protected from future water intrusions.
