Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Canton, MI were concerned about their uneven driveway. They worried about the trip hazard not only for themselves but for friends and family. Another point that led them to want repairs was disliking the sunken appearance of their new home. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. The project manager, Noah, did a walk-around with the homeowners to gauge the scenario. His suggestion to lift the concrete and seal the joints aligned with the homeowners’ vision and a HomeSpec crew was then scheduled for the repairs.

The PolyLevel foreman, Fred, led the crew in this concrete leveling service. They drilled holes into the sunken slabs and then used the PolyLevel® injection foam to lift the concrete until it was level with the other slabs. After ensuring the driveway was properly leveled, the team sealed the joints using NexusPro to offer a clean final look and protect the driveway.

A homeowner in Canton, MI noticed that over the last year, their driveway had more cracks than ever before. They wanted to seal these cracks and raise areas of the concrete that had sunk over time. Ideally, the driveway would be protected from cracks in the future, too. They plan to be in this home for the next ten years, until their child graduates. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Noah, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home and inspected the driveway. He explained to the homeowner that this did align with HomeSpec’s repair plan and how the work would be completed. First, the team would cut through the plants growing in between the concrete. Then, where the concrete needed to be lifted, small holes would be drilled through to the other side. These holes would allow the foreman to use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the concrete back into place. Finally, the joints would be sealed using NexusPro sealant. This would secure the driveway and provide a clean aesthetic. The homeowner agreed to this plan and had HomeSpec’s PolyLevel foreman, Domonique, and his team move forward with the repairs. They were very happy with the finished product!

A family in Ann Arbor, MI hit their breaking point with their driveway. It had been a tripping hazard for years but when it had started sloping towards the house, water was pooling and flooding the basement. The family wanted to fix the sidewalk to prevent things from getting worse and creating more issues. This was a wish not only for themselves but for the next homeowners as they plan to sell in the near future. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to learn more about what could be done.

One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Elon, went out to the home and provided a free inspection. He saw the severity of the cracking but knew this was a job HomeSpec could help with. He discussed a repair plan with the homeowners and informed them of the two products needed to fix their driveway. A foreman who specializes in PolyLevel® Injection Foam, like Fred, would drill holes through the concrete and use the foam to lift and level the sunken areas. Once the concrete was even, then the team would repair the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The homeowners decided this was the best route for their driveway and scheduled HomeSpec out for the project. They were very happy to no longer have tripping hazards and to keep water away from the home’s foundation.

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI who had been experiencing bowing walls and leaks into their basement for some time due to a walnut tree putting pressure on the walls had finally reached the point where they decided it was time for a fix. They reached out to us to install the Carbon Fiber Strips to support the walls as well as seal up the stair step cracks that had formed as a result of the buildup of pressure. This would effectively stop the leaking and provide reinforcement to their basement walls.

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI needed help with their unlevel concrete. Slabs throughout the driveway, sidewalk, and garage had shifted throughout the decade since moving into this home. They suspected the trouble with sinking concrete was caused by a family of chipmunks and a mole. With no plans to move, the homeowner decided to fix the driveway, sidewalk, and garage. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.

A senior project manager, Elon, went out to the home to evaluate the situation and provide a free inspection. He took measurements of the concerning areas and evaluated the integrity of the remaining areas as well. Afterward, he spoke with the homeowner to come up with a repair plan together. Elon explained that while critters may dig underneath the slabs, they are not the only cause of sinking concrete. The water from the downspout was causing soil to wash away. Elon suggested the repair consist of two parts, leveling the concrete and preventing it from sinking again. The leveling would be accomplished using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and NexusPro sealant would protect the joints. To further prevent soil from being washed away, Elon suggested extending the downspout and installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe. The homeowner agreed to this plan and was happy with the completed results! The team was led by Fred, a PolyLevel Foreman, and saw the project finalized.
