An Ortonville, MI homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to repair a concrete driveway. Not only were there cracks but some of the slabs had begun to sink. This gap even allowed grass to grow through the concrete. This particular homeowner was already very familiar with the company because they had been hired before. They had owned two homes throughout the years and HomeSpec encapsulated both crawl spaces. When it came time for more repairs, they already knew what company they wanted to work with.
A senior project manager named Erik visited the home and evaluated the cracked driveway. He was the same project manager who had done their last inspection for the crawl space. Erik discussed his findings with the homeowner and together they came up with a plan that met the homeowner’s goals. The homeowner agreed to let HomeSpec’s team use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slabs up again until the entire driveway was level again. Then, the crew would seal the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The group that completed this project was led by a PolyLevel foreman named Fred. The homeowner was happy with the final results!
Our team encapsulated a crawl space and installed an interior drainage system.
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.
A homeowner that was experiencing a persistent leak in their basement every time it rained reached out to us in order to help them solve their problem. When we arrived, we noticed the size of the crack and recommended they have it filled with high powered urethane crack injection in order to stop the leak as well as prevent the crack from opening again in the future.
Scott A. from Waterford, Michigan called HomeSpec to repair his sinking garage. The garage's foundation was settling into the soil which was causing separation from the home and severe cracking. Scott also wanted some concrete repaired while we were there.
Project Manager Keith Brown knew we could combat this issue by installing Helical Piers below the foundation. Foreman Ryan Loop and his crew got to work installing the piers to stabilize the foundation and stop the sinking. They were also able to lift the foundation back to its original position. Crack Tech Ryan Bonacorsi was then able to permanently seal the cracks in the walls.
At the same time, Concrete Specialists Devin Parker and Alex Lofgren were working on repairing Scott's concrete. They used the PolyLevel method, a cost-effective and less-abrasive method for leveling concrete. This works by injecting polyurethane rigid foam below the concrete slabs. As the foam expands, the concrete is lifted into place. It was a quick and easy installation!
