Before & After Photos

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. 

A homeowner in Fenton, MI was interested in adding an addition to the house they inherited but realized they needed to address some problems first. The most worrisome was the settling foundation. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a free estimate and to get an educated opinion about what they were facing.

HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, evaluated the home both inside and outside. He concluded the company could install a SmartJack® system in their crawl space to lift and support the beams of the home, more so than the support that was already in place. While at the house, he also recommended encapsulating the crawl space, an exterior discharge line, downspout extension, HVAC, and rerouting the plumbing. The homeowner appreciated the attention to detail and agreed to all of the repairs. HomeSpec’s Jon, the foreman, and plumber, Rick, led the team in completing the repairs and walking through each step with the homeowner. Satisfied with the work, the homeowner left a glowing review on HomeSpec’s website.

These customers contacted us about water coming up through their basement floor tiles. Upon inspection though, shearing and bowed walls were discovered.

Our crew rebuilt the sheared wall, then installed a wall stabilization system to prevent future water issues and protect the structural integrity of the home.
