Before & After Photos

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. 

A homeowner in Port Austin, MI wanted to fix up their home so they could pass it on to their child and grandchildren. Unfortunately, the floors on the main level were sagging and there were noticeable settlement issues within the foundation. Those problems needed to be addressed before other repairs and upgrades could be done. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection and estimate.

Erik, a senior project manager, explored the crawl space, basement, and outside of the home to thoroughly grasp the situation. He shared with the homeowner that the best solution would be to use a SmartJack® support system in the crawl space to lift and stabilize the main beam. Supporting the main beam in the proper spots would lift the sagging floors and maintain a level surface on the first floor. The homeowner agreed to let HomeSpec install the SmartJack® supports and was glad that they did. They were happy with the final results and were excited to resume other renovations.

A homeowner in Pinckney, MI noticed a few vertical cracks in their foundation walls that had water seeping through. Before things could escalate, they began looking for help. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to conduct an inspection. The senior project manager, Keith, recommended repairs that would fill in the cracks where the water is leaking through and then seal the cracks themselves. The crew would use high pressure urethane injections for this type of repair. The homeowner was happy to hear of this option and decided HomeSpec was the company to take care of their home.

A homeowner in Manitou Beach, MI noticed that one corner of their home was sloping. It had reached a point where they knew professional intervention was necessary. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help. A senior project manager, Ben, performed an inspection and discussed some options with the homeowner.

The homeowner liked the plan that involved repairing the settlement issue from within the crawl space. Ben explained that a SmartJack® support system and supplemental beams would be installed and follow a lift procedure to return the floor to a level position. The repairs were done by a crew led by foreman Jon.

A Saline, MI homeowner realized how much of their childhood home needed to be repaired before they could move as they had planned. There were issues with the foundation and front porch. The porch had a diagonal crack and one side had sunk a substantial amount. This posed a tripping hazard that the homeowner wanted to remedy for their own safety as well as the safety of any future buys. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Keith, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went to the home and conducted a thorough inspection both inside and outside of the home. He took measurements and notes before returning to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan. He recommended solutions for the foundation as well as the porch. Keith explained that the crew would fix the porch with PolyLevel® Injection Foam to raise the sunken concrete until the halves were even again. Then, the team would use NexusPro sealant over the crack to secure and protect it. The homeowner agreed to these ideas and worked with HomeSpec to have the crew move forward with the plan. A foreman named Fred led a crew in the porch repair while other foremen, Jon, Mike, and Rick, led the repairs in the basement.
