Before & After Photos

The porch on this Hartland home was sinking and pulling away from the foundation - and it was quite unsightly. So the homeowners contacted the professionals here at HomeSpec. 

Thankfully, our PolyLevel system quickly and permanently solves problems like this. The PolyLevel foam just had to be injected underneath the concrete, then it expanded and filled in the gaps caused by soil erosion and shrinkage. As it expanded, the porch was raised up back into its original position. 

A homeowner in Ypsilanti, MI noticed that the patio in their backyard had been sinking in recent years. This sunken concrete caused puddles to form and made it difficult to utilize the space. The owner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see if they could with their patio. They also asked that the company take a look at the cracks in their foundation which were allowing water to seep inside.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, David, went out to the home and took a detailed account of both the inside and outside. After taking measurements and notes, he returned to the homeowner to discuss the best solutions. For the patio, David recommended using PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the concrete back to a level position and then repair the cracks using NexusPro sealant. Finally, the patio would receive SealantPro to protect the concrete from the elements. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a time for the work to be completed. One of the PolyLevel foremen, Domonique, led a team in the installation of these products. The homeowner was happy with their work and the improvements to their patio.

A homeowner in Plymouth, MI was struggling with multiple symptoms caused by a single issue. They had a slanting concrete patio which caused a tripping hazard, water to pool against the foundation, and leaks in the basement. The homeowner wanted to remedy these plentiful problems, so they reached out to a professional company. 

The HomeSpec call center set up a free inspection with Elon, a senior project manager. He spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and then conducted his analysis of the situation. Based on what Elon saw, he recommended lifting the sinking concrete with PolyLevel® Injection Foam and sealing the cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant. This would eliminate the tripping hazard and prevent pooling against the foundation. The homeowner agreed with this repair plan and worked with the scheduling team to have a crew bring the plan to life. The foreman who led this crew was Domonique, and together they helped the homeowner’s goals become a reality.

A Burton, MI homeowner noticed how much their sidewalk and driveway had changed. The concrete was sinking in various spots and speckled with cracks. The homeowner intended to stay at this residence for at least five more years and did not want these conditions to worsen over that time. They decided to call HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair about leveling the concrete. One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Ted, went to the home and provided a free inspection. 

After evaluating the slants and depths of the sinking concrete, Ted shared that HomeSpec would be able to level the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and repair the cracks using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was happy with these options and agreed to have HomeSpec do these repairs. HomeSpec’s PolyLevel foremen, Domonique and Fred, led the teams in this process. One team focused on the lifting while the other focused on sealing the cracks and joints. The finished product was even and sealed concrete from where the road meets the driveway to the garage.

For many people, the concrete around their home is just an absolute eyesore. Cracked and sunken concrete negatively affects the curb appeal of the home, and even creates tripping hazards. Most people don't consider fixing it a priority because they think the task will be too much of a headache. That's what this Genesee homeowner thought about his driveway project. There were many cracked slabs, and there was a large gap between the house and the driveway. 

But when a friend told him about HomeSpec's PolyLevel system, the homeowner finally decided to get his concrete repaired. After an inspector came out to see the damage and provide a proposal, our concrete specialists got to work.

With the PolyLevel system, a small penny-sized hole is drilled into the concrete. Then the expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam is injected underneath. As it expands, it fills in the voids between the soil and the slab. This raises the slab up and levels it with the rest of the concrete. And BOOM - it's finished! This is an environmentally safe, quick, non-invasive, cost-effective way to repair concrete. 

Several slabs were cracked, so we filled them in with our NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was very pleased with the quick and easy process, and with how much better his driveway looks now!
