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 family in Linden, MI moved into their brand new home in 2017. The house had been built in 2016 making them the first homeowners. Things were fine until they noticed the drywall had developed cracks. They fixed the cracks but were frustrated when more appeared later on. They did not want things to get worse and did not want to keep fixing the same drywall over and over. So, the homeowners turned to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

A senior project manager, Keith, explored the home both inside and outside to get a full understanding of the situation. He created a repair plan and shared his recommendations with the family. He suggested installing SmartJack® support posts and supplemental beams strategically in the basement to stabilize the main floor. Securing the floor would prevent the walls from shifting and cracking any further. The homeowners approved of this repair plan and went forward with HomeSpec. The main installation was handled by foreman Jon and his team while the plumbing needed to execute the plan was handled by the plumber Rick. The homeowners were happy with the final results and happy to know their home was stabilized.

This family in Ann Arbor, MI wanted to have the crawl space in their new home encapsulated to prevent any future damage or odors from coming into the living space.

A homeowner in Flushing, MI requested an inspection from HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see if the company could level the concrete of their two-car garage. However, when Ted, the senior project manager, began the inspection, he knew this home had other concerns that would need to be addressed. The cracks were caused because the concrete slab was sinking. It had sunk so much that the floor had separated from the wall enough to see light from outside through the gap. Ted highly encouraged the homeowner to have the foundation lifted back to its proper level before repairing the cracks to ensure everything was repaired correctly. The homeowner agreed to have both repairs done by HomeSpec’s team.

The foreman, Ryan, led the team in lifting the garage back into its original place. They dug out the ground down to the foundation and used helical piers on two sides of the garage to lift it. After ensuring the house was secure, the space was filled with dirt. Other HomeSpec teams repaired the concrete cracks after the lift was completed. The homeowner was happy with all of the work and could rest easy knowing the repairs would not be an issue in the future.

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