These Southfield, MI homeowners were concerned about their sidewalk and driveway beginning to sink. Because of this sinking, they experienced pooling water which turns into a sheet of ice during the winter months. This couple has worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in the past. The previous year, they had installed a sump pump in their home to address worries of water entering their basement. Their concern became about the pooling water overworking the sump pump they had installed. So, they called HomeSpec back out to see what could be done.
Elon, one of HomeSpec’s project managers, went out to the home and inspected all of the concrete on the property. He shared a plan with the couple to lift and protect the sidewalk and driveway. To evenly lift the concrete, a skilled foreman and their crew would use PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Then, they would seal the joints using NexusPro sealant. Lastly, they would apply SealantPro, a protective layer, to prevent water, oil, and gasoline from damaging the concrete. Additional suggestions included installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe. The homeowners agreed to these plans and scheduled HomeSpec to do the work. The teams were led by the foremen named Fred and Rick.
A homeowner in Warren, MI has lived in their house for the last 20 years. Throughout that time, some of the concrete slabs from their driveway and patio have been sinking and moving. They suspect this is due to the weight of having a trailer parked there. The homeowner knew they wanted to make sure their garage, driveway, and patio were even. So, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection and estimate.
Yann, a project manager for HomeSpec went out to the Warren, MI household and took a detailed account of the concrete throughout the property. He shared with the homeowner that the best solution for lifting the concrete slabs would be to use PolyLevel® Injection Foam. After the area was leveled then the PolyLevel foreman would seal the joints using NexusPro sealant. This would protect the driveway and patio from the elements and provide a clean aesthetic. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a crew to install the products. The team was led by a foreman named Fred. Once the crew was done, they made sure the homeowner was happy with the final result.
An older homeowner in Warren, MI was able to get the help they needed thanks to their adult child. Together, they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair regarding their concrete issues. The homeowner was preparing to sell the house and wanted to ensure there would be no issues during inspections. It was important that they get the maximum property value. HomeSpec sent one of their project managers out to the house for a free inspection and to develop a repair plan.
There were a couple of areas surrounding the home where concrete had sunk and cracked. These issues created steeper steps and tripping hazards. The project manager proposed letting the HomeSpec team use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to raise the concrete to its original position and level the area. Then, they could repair the cracks and joints by using NexusPro sealant. Lastly, the concrete would have SealantPro applied to protect it from the elements. The homeowner agreed to this proposal and planned to have HomeSpec move forward with the project. A PolyLevel foreman, Fred, led a team in this endeavor. Together, they were able to raise the concrete slab the entire height of a brick, making the step less steep and less of a tripping hazard. The homeowner was happy with the final results!
A pair of homeowners in Saint Clair Shores, MI planned to be in their house until it was time to move into a retirement home. Unfortunately, their driveway, garage, and patio all had cracks and were sinking which created tripping hazards. The driveway was so cracked that the concrete slabs appeared as worn out puzzle pieces. The homeowners knew they wanted these issues fixed sooner rather than later, so they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to get a free estimate.
One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Jeremiah, visited the residence and evaluated the concrete surrounding the home. He measured the dimensions as well as tested how deep a space was under the slabs. He then conversed with the homeowners about a plan to repair everything. Jeremiah shared that the products HomeSpec would use are PolyLevel® Injection Foam and NexusPro sealant. The crew would drill small holes through the concrete so the PolyLevel® Injection Foam reaches underneath the slabs and it would then lift them into place. Once all of the concrete was leveled, then the team would use NexusPro sealant to protect the joints and cracks. The homeowners agreed to this plan and later watched it come to life thanks to teams led by Domonique and Rick. They were happy with the final results!
A homeowner in Roseville, MI decided that enough was enough and it was time to get their driveway fixed. Areas had sunken and plants were growing through the cracks. The unlevel concrete had caused damage to one of their cars. The homeowner wanted to leave the house to their son one day so the property needed this maintenance. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection.
The project manager, Noah, looked at all of the concrete on the property and came up with a plan. He explained to the homeowner that the majority of the concrete could be repaired instead of replaced. The sunken slabs could be lifted and leveled using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and the cracks could be sealed using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner approved of this plan and had HomeSpec schedule their crews. Domonique, the PolyLevel foreman, led the lifting and leveling process. Meanwhile, Rick, another foreman, led the process of pouring new concrete in two specific spots. Together, they were able to completely revive the driveway. The homeowner was happy with their work and knew there would be no further issues.
