Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Shelby Township, MI wanted to have their crawl space encapsulated in order to preserve the area and keep it dry from any moisture. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System worked perfectly for this homeowner, ensuring that no humidity or musty odors could impact the living areas above.

Beams were installed to stabilize basement walls that were cracked. 

Scott A. from Waterford, Michigan called HomeSpec to repair his sinking garage. The garage's foundation was settling into the soil which was causing separation from the home and severe cracking. Scott also wanted some concrete repaired while we were there. 

Project Manager Keith Brown knew we could combat this issue by installing Helical Piers below the foundation. Foreman Ryan Loop and his crew got to work installing the piers to stabilize the foundation and stop the sinking. They were also able to lift the foundation back to its original position. Crack Tech Ryan Bonacorsi was then able to permanently seal the cracks in the walls. 

At the same time, Concrete Specialists Devin Parker and Alex Lofgren were working on repairing Scott's concrete. They used the PolyLevel method, a cost-effective and less-abrasive method for leveling concrete. This works by injecting polyurethane rigid foam below the concrete slabs. As the foam expands, the concrete is lifted into place. It was a quick and easy installation! 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because a block wall in his crawl space was deteriorating. 

This can danger the structural integrity of the home, so our crew rebuilt the severely damaged wall, and then encapsulated the entire crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to waterproof it. 

Have you ever been worried about your house falling apart? Many people reach their breaking point before their home completely breaks down. In this case, a homeowner in Highland, MI could no longer stand the symptoms of settlement plaguing their home. Some of the signs the home was settling included cracks in the walls of the garage and bedroom, floors sagging and sloping, and doors and windows had become difficult to open. The homeowner was mostly concerned that the beam in the garage under the bedroom would worsen and the results would be catastrophic. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see how these issues could be remedied.

Mark, a senior project manager from HomeSpec, went out to the house to inspect the problems and discuss the homeowner’s concerns. After looking inside and outside, Mark recommended using using two SmartJack® posts to stabilize the beam in the garage instead of the singular one already installed. He also recommended using three SmartJack® posts in the crawl space to offer more support throughout the house and address other problem spots. The crawl space could also benefit from being insulated using SilverGlo™ and then encapsulated using CleanSpace® to reassure other worries about moisture and mold. After listening to Mark’s presentation, the homeowner was prepared to move forward with HomeSpec’s repairs. Two teams led by foremen Jim and Fred installed the products. They kept the homeowner informed as repairs progressed and did a walk-through to review the completed work. The homeowner was happy to see their home in better condition.
