Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Detroit, MI experienced a shock most people won’t, their home was hit by a neighbor’s car. There was damage to both the outside and inside of the house which included a horizontal crack lining the foundation wall. The homeowner wanted to have the damage repaired and prevent the foundation from getting worse. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a professional evaluation.

Mark, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, visited the house to inspect the true scope of the damage and develop a repair plan. He took notes of the measurements and then spoke with the homeowner about the best way to repair their home. Mark suggested installing CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to secure the foundation wall and prevent it from moving or bowing. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a crew to move forward with the project. They were happy with the completed project and looking forward to turning the basement into a living area now that the foundation was stable.

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! 

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. 

A homeowner in Sterling Heights, MI with a leaking crack in their wall called us out to fill them and give them peace of mind that the walls would no longer be damaged due to the leaking rod holes.

The HomeSpec crew ventured up to Caseville, sadly not for the famous Cheeseburger festival, but to repair some leaking cracks and rod holes. The homeowner wanted them permanently repaired, and wanted his basement waterproofed after experiencing water issues for many years. Living so close to the water, these issues are expected, but preventable. 

Our crew sealed the cracks and rod holes to prevent them from leaking again. This is a common problem with poured concrete walls and we repair walls like this all the time. Then we installed an interior drainage system connected to a sump pump to waterproof the basement.
