A damaged foundation can’t properly support your home and should be addressed at the first sign of trouble: bowing walls, cracked walls or floors, tilted chimneys, sloping floors, and pooling water, just to name a few. While foundation problems are an unavoidable part of homeownership, we want to make the repair process as stress-free as possible for you.

  • Foundation wall repair - to fix cracks, correct bowing or tilting walls, and add reliable support to keep your foundation walls stable.

Homeowners can benefit from our innovative concrete sealant that permanently bonds with one application to protect against UV rays and moisture for long-lasting protection on new and old concrete. If you have sloping concrete floors in your home, we will restore them with the PolyLevel concrete leveling system, a faster and longer-lasting alternative to mudjacking. PolyLevel cures in as little as 24 hours, adds very little weight as it lifts, and is far less messy than traditional mudjacking, making it ideal to use on interior slabs.

Job Stories From Eastpointe, MI
Homeowner in Eastpointe, MI Has Their Belongings Saved From Water Damage By Installing the WaterGuard and BrightWall Systems

A homeowner in Eastpointe, MI had been in the same house for several years, and after noticing a large crack in their basement wall growing over the years, they were ready to address the problem head on. The water was causing several problems for the homeowner, including damage to their belongings and the potential for mold growth. After doing some research, they decided to reach out to us for their basement waterproofing needs.

After discussing the issue with the homeowner and completing his inspection, our Project Manager recommended the installation of a WaterGuard Drainage System and the BrightWall wall restoration system. Both systems would work together to keep their basement dry and prevent any more water from leaking or pooling around their belongings.

First, our crew excavated a small trench around the perimeter of the basement floor where the WaterGuard Drainage System was to be installed. Then they installed the WaterGuard Drainage System and connected it to the sump pump system. Next, they installed the BrightWall panels on the walls of the basement using mechanical fasteners which kept it stable and created a waterproof barrier.

The installation process took a few days to complete, but the benefits for the homeowner were immediately noticeable. The WaterGuard Drainage System effectively collected the water that was seeping through the walls, preventing any further damage to their belongings. The sump pump system ensured that the collected water was pumped out of the basement, preventing any potential flooding, and The BrightWall panels prevented any moisture from seeping through the walls, improving the overall air quality of the basement.

Foundation Settlement Solved with Helical Pier Support System in Eastpointe, MI

A homeowner in Eastpointe, MI was in their backyard throwing a birthday party when they noticed the sliding glass door to get back into the house would not open properly. A common sign of foundation settlement, they set the issue aside for the time being. Once the party had ended, she went into the backyard to try and figure out why the door wouldn't open properly. After a quick walk around, she also noticed the back wall of her home had large cracks, another sign of foundation settlement. After doing some research. She decided to check her porch's level and noted that it was, in fact, slanted. Realizing this was a bigger issue than she initially thought, and with no intention of moving anytime soon, she set out to look for the best foundation repair companies nearby. HomeSpec BasementFix was selected as the home repair contractor of choice for this job.
Ben, who had experience in foundation repair, was sent to the property to discuss the homeowners' concerns in more detail and provide a free foundation inspection. After addressing the homeowner's worries and taking notes of the different types of cracks he found during the inspection, Ben looked at the porch sinking and immediately realized that this was a foundation settlement-related issue. Some of the more common signs of foundation settlement are doors not being able to open or close properly, cracks in the walls and uneven living spaces. Foundation settlement happens when one of the layers of soil under your home, typically the top layer, starts to shift, creating voids that the foundation settles into. Each layer is composed of different types of soil which have different properties that affect the ability to support the weight of the home. Typically, the soil gets more compact and stronger the deeper you go, and this is why Ben recommended our Helical Pier Support System as the best solution to homeowners' concerns.

Our Helical Pier Support System works best for this homeowners foundation repair because of its ability to stabilize the foundation from settling further and bring the porch back to its original position. When the soil gets too dry, it can cause the layers to shrink, and when it gets too wet, the top layer of soil can wash out completely, leaving a void that the foundation wants to fill. Helical Piers solve this problem with the helical plates that are welded to the shaft of the pier. These plates act as a screw and dig deep into new load bearing soils, which then act as an anchor to the ground. The first step was to expose the foundation and prepare the footing for the pier system; then the Helical Pier is adjusted to the appropriate height and advanced into the ground. This fast and effective process is capable of transferring the weight of the foundation to more competent layers of soil that will be able to support the foundation for an extended period of time. Helical Piers are a permanent solution designed with homeowners' peace of mind at the forefront of the support system.

With the porch successfully restored to its original height, the homeowner was relieved to learn that this problem was addressed before a larger foundation settlement issue caused even more headaches.
