Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Saline, MI a homeowner was preparing to sell the house they grew up in. Unfortunately, their foundation walls were riddled with cracks, some of which had been leaking water into the basement. The homeowner wanted to fix these cracks before selling the house to someone else. So, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help. The free inspection was scheduled with one of the senior project managers, Keith.

On the day of the appointment, Keith arrived and spoke with the homeowner about their worries and goals. He evaluated the foundation walls and the entirety of the basement. He took thorough notes of the conditions so the homeowner would have an informed opinion of how they wanted their home repaired. Keith proposed fixing the basement wall cracks with high pressure urethane injections and stabilizing the walls with the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System. Stabilizing the walls would prevent more cracks from forming and injecting the cracks would stop water from entering the basement. The homeowner approved of these recommendations and scheduled the repairs to be made. The HomeSpec teams that completed this project were led by Jon and Mike, and the homeowner was pleased with their repairs!

A homeowner in Dexter, MI with a persistent leak in their basement called us out to reinfect a crack that was causing water to leak into the basement and cause them trouble. Our crew used High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal the crack and prevent any more water from entering the home.

Jacks were installed to reinforce the foundation in the crawl space. 

These Ann Arbor, Michigan homeowners purchased a home with many crawl space and foundation issues, so they called HomeSpec to take care of everything! A general inspection found that there was mold in the crawl space due to moisture, and the joists/band board were rotting badly as a result. 

On top of that, one corner of the home was sinking, also know as settling, into the soil and pulling apart from the rest of the home – resulting in severe cracking in the crawl space and outside the home. 

HomeSpec combatted the sinking issue by installing Helical Piers. These anchor deep into stronger soils and literally hold the home up, preventing the structure from sinking any further and even lifting it back to its original position. 

The rotting, moldy joists in the crawl space were replaced and sistered to make sure the floors above won't sag and the support won't give way. The cracks in the crawl space block walls were also sealed to prevent moisture from seeping in. The support in the crawl space is crucial to the home, which is why it's important to keep crawl spaces dry or else moisture will wreak havoc!! 

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI who had been experiencing bowing walls and leaks into their basement for some time due to a walnut tree putting pressure on the walls had finally reached the point where they decided it was time for a fix. They reached out to us to install the Carbon Fiber Strips to support the walls as well as seal up the stair step cracks that had formed as a result of the buildup of pressure. This would effectively stop the leaking and provide reinforcement to their basement walls.
