HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Detroit, MI had worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in 2022 to level part of their driveway. A couple of years later, they decided to reach out once more. Not only was the concrete driveway cracked but grass and other plant life had grown through those weak spots. Worse of all, the slabs in the driveway had started rocking when driven over. The homeowner was prepared to have the rest of the driveway repaired and welcomed a HomeSpec project manager to inspect the scope of the work.

The project manager explained that the work would be similar to the work done back in 2022. The crew would clear away the plant life and then level the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Once the driveway was flat and even, then the crew would seal the cracks using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a PolyLevel foreman and team to come out to the house. This project was completed by Domonique and his team. The homeowner was happy with the final results!

This homeowner wanted to have their crawl space encapsulated in order to get rid of the musty smells and odors that were penetrating the upper levels of the living space. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System  helped prevent moisture and musty odors in this homeowners crawl space with its specially designed vapor barrier. 

Buying a home is a stressful enough process in itself, but when you buy a home with structural issues - that's a whole different level of stress. These homeowners bought an old home in Clifford, Michigan, but there was a big problem - a foundation problem. 

The floors above the basement were sagging, which was caused by insufficient support below. There were wooden support posts and beams that were deteriorating and failing to support the weight of the home. They needed to be replaced, and more needed to be added to ensure they won't sag again over time. The experts at HomeSpec assured these homeowners that we could fix their problem permanently.

Our crew installed over a dozen new steel beams and support posts. The floors were raised back to their original position and the posts will prevent the floors from sagging in the future. This support is crucial to the structural integrity of the home - and now these homeowners don't have to worry, but instead can enjoy their new home! 

Did you know that HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair does work on housing cooperatives and apartments as well as single-family homes? In this case, Homespec was contacted by a management company to fix a few vertical cracks in the basement walls of a co-op unit in Center Line, MI. These types of cracks can be easily repaired by one of HomeSpec’s foremen using high pressure urethane injections. The manager agreed to let HomeSpec move forward with the repairs.

A PolyLevel foreman, Domonique, injected a material that expanded behind the crack to fill in the gaps where water might pass through. The crack was then sealed to provide a permanent, waterproof solution. The company was happy with the crack repairs and happy knowing a new resident would be able to enjoy every floor of the unit. 

Our crews were called to a job where multiple basement walls were cracked. We installed I-beams to stabilize the walls.

An interior drainage system was also installed in the basement.
