Job Stories

A homeowner needed the foundation of his porch restored, as it had sank about 2 inches. Our team installed helical piers to lift the porch. The piers hold the weight of the porch, allowing it to be returned to its original height. 

A homeowner called us to fix bowing and cracked walls in her basement. We installed braces and a stabilization system to prevent the walls from moving in the future. 

This homeowner needed their driveway leveled and some cracks repaired so we injected polyurethane to raise the driveway and fill the cracks. Within only 24 hours the driveway was usable again.

These homeowners had cracks in their foundation, but they were weary about hiring a contractor. Words like "shifty," "unreliable," and "untrustworthy" came to mind immediately. After a Google search though, they found HomeSpec.  Our customer care agent estimated the repair over the phone, and within a week our crack technicians went out to the home and filled the cracks with a polyurethane sealant. The homeowner was so surprised with how simple and easy the process was, and thanked HomeSpec for solving their problem with a stress-free experience!

A homeowner in Lake Orion, MI, was dealing with continuous water leakage in their basement due to cracks in the concrete foundation. They use the basement for many things, such as storage and a play area for their children, both of which were being affected by the water. The homeowners wanted a dry basement so they wouldn’t have to clean up water every time it rained, so they decided to call HomeSpec for help. Mark, one of the senior project managers, visited the home to provide a free inspection. He confirmed the water leakage in the basement and knew HomeSpec could help. Mark proposed filling the crack with a high-pressure crack injection, which would seal the crack and prevent any further water intrusion. The homeowner agreed to the plan, and a team from HomeSpec got to work. Once the job was done, the homeowner was pleased with the finished product and was glad to be able to use their basement in peace.

Sean in Mayville, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because the floors above the crawl space in his very old home were sagging badly.  To solve this issue, HomeSpec installed SmartJack Support Posts in the crawl space to hold the weight of the foundation and prevent further movement. They were also able to use these to lift the floors back to their original position.  No more sagging floors for this homeowner! 

Michael J. in Mayville, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because water was leaking into his finished basement. He kept finding wet spots in his carpet after heavy rains, so he finally removed the drywall and found the culprits – several large vertical cracks in his poured foundation wall.  HomeSpec sent out crack technician out to repair the cracks immediately. He filled and sealed the cracks to prevent them from worsening and prevent more water seepage.  Michael was thankful for the permanent fix, and now he doesn't need to worry about his basement being damaged!

Sharon G. in Mayville, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after many years of living with a damaged foundation. Her basement walls were cracked badly and bowing inward. Sharon was worried about undertaking such a large project and put it off for many years, but the state of the walls only worsened the longer she waited.  To help Sharon and fix her walls permanently, HomeSpec installed PowerBraces and Carbon Fiber Straps to the walls to straighten, stabilize and prevent them from further movement. The cracks were also filled and sealed to prevent water leakage.  Sharon is so thankful that she no longer needs to stress about her foundation, and thankful that HomeSpec took care of everything from beginning to end! 

Larry P. of Caro, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec because he found a few leaking cracks in his basement. Two were in the storage room, and one was under the stairs.  Our crack technician promptly went out and injected the cracks with our polyurethane sealant called FlexiSpan. This waterproofs the cracks to prevent water intrusion, and is flexible enough to move with the walls so it doesn't crack. 

Matt L. contacted HomeSpec to repair the concrete around his home, including the driveway and walkway. The problem he was facing was that the concrete was very uneven and cracked. It made the curb appeal of the home suffer. Other companies wanted to charge an arm and a leg to rip out the old concrete and re-pour everything, but Matt wanted a more simple solution.  Luckily for him, HomeSpec offers the cost-effective and proven PolyLevel method. We injected our expanding rigid foam below the sinking concrete slabs to lift and level it with the rest. This method installs and cures in one day so Matt can use his driveway and walkway again without a hassle. He was very pleased with his decision and happy with how brand new his concrete now looks.
