A homeowner in Plymouth, MI was struggling with multiple symptoms caused by a single issue. They had a slanting concrete patio which caused a tripping hazard, water to pool against the foundation, and leaks in the basement. The homeowner wanted to remedy these plentiful problems, so they reached out to a professional company.
The HomeSpec call center set up a free inspection with Elon, a senior project manager. He spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and then conducted his analysis of the situation. Based on what Elon saw, he recommended lifting the sinking concrete with PolyLevel® Injection Foam and sealing the cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant. This would eliminate the tripping hazard and prevent pooling against the foundation. The homeowner agreed with this repair plan and worked with the scheduling team to have a crew bring the plan to life. The foreman who led this crew was Domonique, and together they helped the homeowner’s goals become a reality.
A Burton, MI homeowner noticed how much their sidewalk and driveway had changed. The concrete was sinking in various spots and speckled with cracks. The homeowner intended to stay at this residence for at least five more years and did not want these conditions to worsen over that time. They decided to call HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair about leveling the concrete. One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Ted, went to the home and provided a free inspection.
After evaluating the slants and depths of the sinking concrete, Ted shared that HomeSpec would be able to level the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and repair the cracks using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was happy with these options and agreed to have HomeSpec do these repairs. HomeSpec’s PolyLevel foremen, Domonique and Fred, led the teams in this process. One team focused on the lifting while the other focused on sealing the cracks and joints. The finished product was even and sealed concrete from where the road meets the driveway to the garage.
For many people, the concrete around their home is just an absolute eyesore. Cracked and sunken concrete negatively affects the curb appeal of the home, and even creates tripping hazards. Most people don't consider fixing it a priority because they think the task will be too much of a headache. That's what this Genesee homeowner thought about his driveway project. There were many cracked slabs, and there was a large gap between the house and the driveway.
But when a friend told him about HomeSpec's PolyLevel system, the homeowner finally decided to get his concrete repaired. After an inspector came out to see the damage and provide a proposal, our concrete specialists got to work.
With the PolyLevel system, a small penny-sized hole is drilled into the concrete. Then the expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam is injected underneath. As it expands, it fills in the voids between the soil and the slab. This raises the slab up and levels it with the rest of the concrete. And BOOM - it's finished! This is an environmentally safe, quick, non-invasive, cost-effective way to repair concrete.
Several slabs were cracked, so we filled them in with our NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was very pleased with the quick and easy process, and with how much better his driveway looks now!
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!
