Concrete is often poured over loose, weak or backfill soil during construction. Over time the soil can settle, shrink in dry condition or soften and wash away completely as water runs down joints and cracks. Here we can see a clear visual comparison at just how effective using a combination PolyLevel and NexusPro crack sealant is. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. After using the PolyLevel system to address the immediate need, our crew would seal cracks and joints in the concrete slabs with NexusPro joint sealant to keep out water that could soften and was away the soil underneath to repeat the problem. Using these two in conjunction, provides a proper solution, that is long lasting and reliable.

As concrete slabs on sidewalks and driveways shift and settle over time with soil, they can end up separating themselves introducing tripping hazards with gaps. The NexusPro Joint sealant effectively seals these joints, and provides a weatherproof UV-resistant seal that's more reliable than traditional caulking

Homeowners in Troy, MI saw that water was intruding in a corner where the wall meets the floor. They tried to dry the carpet out themselves, but, unfortunately, the damage had already been done in the Florida room and additional damages had occurred in the basement beneath it. The homeowners had plans to renovate so they could use the Florida room more often but knew they would have to fix the water problems first. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. 


HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Erik, inspected the residence and recommended different repairs for different sections. For the Florida room, he suggested using ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring and interior and exterior waterproofing for the basement. The homeowners approved of this plan and chose the color gray for the waterproof flooring that was installed in both spaces. Due to the large scope of the project, multiple HomeSpec teams were scheduled to do the installations and were led by the foremen Vernon, Jim, and Jon. When the work was complete, the homeowners were happy to know their home was protected and usable again.

Effective Crawl Space Repair Solutions by HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair

Effective Crawl Space Repairs by HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair

HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair offers long-lasting crawl space repairs to improve indoor air quality and more in Troy.

Your crawl space is often out of sight and out of mind, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. Problems with your crawl space can have wide-ranging and serious impacts on the rest of your home.

Many of these problems stem from the outdated practice of venting crawl spaces during construction. While this might sound good on paper, it winds up being a disaster. A vented crawl space means the air in the crawl space is always cold, moist, and drafty, leading to poor air quality and mold growth.

This, in turn, can lead to decreased energy efficiency for your home as cold air from your crawl space enters the home and heated air from your home dissipates into the crawl space. A dirty crawl space can also lower the quality of the air you breathe since most of the air in your home passes through the crawl space at some point, picking up mold spores and other contaminants.

HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair can help turn your crawl space from a detriment into an asset with unbeatable crawl space repair products and services.

Permanent Concrete Leveling Solutions in Troy, MI

Sinking concrete can be a serious issue for a home, leading to tripping hazards, pooling water, and more. Unfortunately, the only solution in the past has been mudjacking or slabjacking, which come with a variety of downsides, notably their long cure times. Luckily, there’s a new solution: the PolyLevel® system.

Generally, concrete sinking is due to the soil beneath the slabs washing away, shrinking, or settling. This causes unevenness and cracking. With PolyLevel®, we inject polyurethane foam beneath the slab to fill these voids, leveling out the concrete. Not only is this method highly effective, but it also cures faster than most other methods and is waterproof.

Job Stories From Troy, MI
New Homeowners in Troy, MI

A Family in Troy, MI who had recently moved to a smaller home to fit their cozier lifestyle had been facing some increasingly worrying problems. Their new home had a basement that they intended to convert into a comfortable bedroom for their son, and an entertaining space for their kids' gatherings. However, they faced a major setback when parts of the basement bedroom got wet during a period of incessant rain during the season. They had noticed that only certain areas in the basement bedroom were affected by the water, while the rest of the basement remained dry and odor-free. Thankfully, the dampness occurred just during those persistent rainy days. Nonetheless, this single incident caused significant disruption in their lives, as it hindered their plans to transform the basement into a functional and enjoyable space for their family. To address the water intrusion problem and make their sons extra room a reality, the homeowners decided to seek professional assistance. After conducting thorough research, they discovered us at HomeSpec. After the initial consultation provided by our Project Manager, He recommended the WaterGuard and the SuperSump Plus.

 

The first product, WaterGuard, was designed to be installed around the perimeter of the basement floor. It acts as an effective drainage channel that captures any water seepage before it has the chance to spread across the homeowners basement floor. The WaterGuard system also ensures that the water is directed away from the basement and safely expelled to the SuperSump pump to prevent any potential damage to the space and belongings.

 

The second product, SuperSump Plus, is a sump pump system. Our crew made sure the SuperSump Plus was installed to complement the WaterGuard system. The sump pump is capable of handling a large volume of water, providing an added layer of protection against potential flooding in the basement. With the SuperSump Plus, the family can have peace of mind, knowing that their basement will remain dry and free from any dampness-related issues.

 

With the WaterGuard and SuperSump Plus systems in place, the family’s basement is now ready for the transformation they had envisioned. Their son's extra room can finally be turned into the inviting and entertaining space he desires, bringing smiles back to the faces of the kids and restoring harmony to the family's living situation.

Homeowner with Large Crack in Basement has Carbon Armor and Carbon Fiber Power Grid Installed in Mount Clemens, MI

A homeowner in Mount Clemens, MI had been experiencing a persistent foundation issue stemming from one of the cracks in their basement. Although it was a two story home, the cracks in the basement were causing them to have restless nights because of the fear of mold growth and the potential damage the crack was causing for the foundation. This led them to search on the internet for the best foundation repair companies nearby. After coming across our company they reached out to us for a free inspection. 

 

When our Project Manager arrived at the home, he began his free inspection of the homeowners basement and made sure to pay attention to all the cracks and take note of their sizes. Once he had completed the detailed inspection of the basement he talked about a custom solution with the homeowner that would satisfy all their needs. First he recommended the High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal the cracks and the Carbon Armor Wall support system with the Carbon Fiber Power Grid to support the foundation wall. 

 

First, our crew filled the cracks with the High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection. This waterproof material seeped into every nook and cranny, sealing the leak and preventing any more water from entering their basement. Our crew kept a keen eye on the injection, ensuring the crack was filled uniformly, leaving no room for leaks. Next, our crew would begin the process of reinforcing the wall to prevent further structural damage. The carbon fiber fabric would play a vital role in preventing any further movement or widening of the cracks in the walls. The Carbon Fiber Power Grid was the perfect solution for this homeowner – a network of carbon fiber straps that offered immense strength and durability would be installed across the cracks and would distribute any external pressure evenly across the wall, mitigating the risk of future cracks.

 

With the carbon fiber systems in place and the cracks sealed, the homeowner was delighted to have found a solution that would last him for years without the headache of worrying about the structural integrity of their home.

Troy, MI Family has WaterGuard Installed on Fourth Wall After Having Us Install It On 3 Walls In 2018

Homeowners in Troy, MI had been dealing with basement water issues for some months and it was beginning to frustrate them. In 2018, they decided to take action and hired us to install the WaterGuard in their basement. Per their request we only installed the system on three of their four walls, effectively addressing the water infiltration problems they had been experiencing. For a while, the homeowners enjoyed a dry basement. However, the fourth wall where no interior drainage system had been installed, was now leaking water and causing a mess. Wanting to address the problem once and for all, they reached out to us again to finish the project.

 

After carefully examining the affected area, our Project Manager determined that finishing the WaterGuard on the fourth wall was the best way forward.

 

To begin the installation process, our crew first prepared the area by removing any debris or obstructions from the basement floor and along the fourth wall. Then they excavated a trench along the wall to place the rest of the drainage system, ensuring it sloped correctly to let the water flow to the sump pump. Next, our crew made sure to clean the trench thoroughly, eliminating any remaining debris that could compromise the effectiveness of the WaterGuard system. Then a bed of clean gravel was laid at the bottom of the trench to promote proper drainage and prevent the system from clogging. Finally, our crew connected the newly installed drainage pipes to the existing WaterGuard system, which had been installed in 2018.

 

Once the installation was complete, the homeowners were glad to have finally finished a project that took some years to complete. With the system now fully installed in their basement, they could enjoy the basement knowing they would no longer be facing any more waterproofing issues.

Homeowner in Troy, MI with Rental Space in the Basement Has WaterGuard Installed because of Leaks Disturbing the Tenant

A homeowner in Troy, MI was receiving complaints about water leakage from a tenant in her basement. They noticed that it was coming through in two main areas, a hole in the wall, and they were uncertain about the source of the water in the other area. This situation was particularly concerning for the homeowner because they didn't want their tenant to leave due to the persistent water, as it would result in a loss of much-needed income for them. The homeowner was determined to find a reliable solution to waterproof the basement, allowing them to maintain the rental space and prevent further water damage.

 

When our Project Manager arrived at the home, he first conducted a thorough inspection of the basement in order to find the cause of the second leak. After following the trial of water, he determined the second leak was caused by insufficient draining in the water channels. To solve their problem, he recommended the homeowner have the WaterGuard Drainage System installed in their basement. 

 

The installation process began by having our crew excavate a narrow trench along the perimeter of the basement walls. This trench was placed at an angle to capture any incoming water and direct it away from the foundation. Care was taken to ensure minimal disruption to the basement's structure and the tenants belongings. Once the trench was excavated, the WaterGuard was carefully placed within it. The WaterGuard system has a unique design that allows water to flow freely through the drainage channel while preventing clogs from soil, debris, or other obstructions.

 

Throughout the entire installation process, our crew maintained open communication with the homeowner and the tenant, ensuring they were kept up to date on the progress and any significant findings.

 

By implementing the WaterGuard system and addressing the specific areas of concern, our crew effectively resolved this homeowner and their tenants' waterproofing issues. The homeowner was also relieved to have their basement waterproofed, allowing them to maintain the rental income and provide a safe and dry living space for the tenant.

 

Moldy Carpets and Leaking Basement Solved with WaterGuard Drainage System and UltraSump in Troy, MI

In Troy, MI, a family had been becoming increasingly bothered due to water leaking through the basement walls and causing the carpets to get soaked. Fearful of mold growing, deteriorating their health and causing greater issues within the living space, these homeowners set out to address the water leaking into the basement. Doing some research, they discovered that water damage can sometimes be related to foundation repair problems, and wanted to make sure they covered all their bases. To do so, they looked for both basement waterproofing contractors and foundation repair contractors nearby, leading to HomeSpec BasementFix, who reliably specializes in both. 

Noah, an experienced Project Manager, was sent to the property to address the homeowners concerns and get a better understanding of the current problems this family faced. During the free inspection, Noah pulled back the carpets to discover wooden paneling, which increased the risk of health issues, and woodrot now as well. Understanding that this family planned to move to a different home, and wanted to return the value of the property back to its original condition. Our Project Manager recommended the WaterGuard Drainage System and the UltraSump battery backup to solve this family’s basement waterproofing needs. 

The WaterGuard drainage system fits perfectly for this family’s basement, because, unlike where traditional water drainage systems fail, this french drain is specifically designed not to clog with debris and provide a safe and effective solution for this basement waterproofing job. WaterGuard is installed by digging a trench around the foundations footing, allowing it to collect water and drain it freely to the sump pump. The next step was to install a proper sump pump to drain into and expel the water. The UltraSump boasts a battery backup system that is ideal for this situation because the UltraSump battery is designed to withstand a power outage and can pump the equivalent of a small swimming pool worth of water on a single charge. The UltraSump can outlast traditional pumps many times over ensuring the homeowner no longer has to worry about future pump failures.

With the basement waterproofing services complete, the family was able to prevent future health-related problems from any mold and maintain the property value in preparation for the move.
