HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These Southfield, MI homeowners were concerned about their sidewalk and driveway beginning to sink. Because of this sinking, they experienced pooling water which turns into a sheet of ice during the winter months. This couple has worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in the past. The previous year, they had installed a sump pump in their home to address worries of water entering their basement. Their concern became about the pooling water overworking the sump pump they had installed. So, they called HomeSpec back out to see what could be done.

Elon, one of HomeSpec’s project managers, went out to the home and inspected all of the concrete on the property. He shared a plan with the couple to lift and protect the sidewalk and driveway. To evenly lift the concrete, a skilled foreman and their crew would use PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Then, they would seal the joints using NexusPro sealant. Lastly, they would apply SealantPro, a protective layer, to prevent water, oil, and gasoline from damaging the concrete. Additional suggestions included installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe. The homeowners agreed to these plans and scheduled HomeSpec to do the work. The teams were led by the foremen named Fred and Rick.

Owners of a home in Southfield, MI were worried about their sinking sidewalk and driveway. Water was pooling in front of the house and turning into a sheet of ice during the cold months. The homeowners had sought help from HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair just a year prior to address the water in the basement. They were happy with their sump pump solution and knew that HomeSpec would provide the right option for this issue as well.

A project manager named Elon went out to the home to investigate the sinking concrete during a free inspection. He took detailed notes and then discussed his findings with the homeowners. Installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe would capture water that had been pooling and direct it away from the concrete and home. To address the concrete that had already sunken, Elon recommended lifting the slabs with PolyLevel® Injection Foam. After lifting to an even level, the crew would seal the joints using NexusPro sealant and apply SealantPro, a protective layer. The homeowners approved of this repair plan and it was seen to completion by the teams of Fred and Rick.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec after she bought a home with severe foundation issues, including a wall that was cracked from top to bottom and bowing - and ultimately at risk of collapsing. 

Our team of experts straightened the wall and pushed it back into place. It was waterproofed from the outside, and the cracks were repaired with our polyurethane sealant then reinforced by power grids on the inside. The walls were permanently stabilized by a carbon fiber system and a power brace system to prevent movement in the future.
