Before & After Photos

An Ortonville, MI homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to repair a concrete driveway. Not only were there cracks but some of the slabs had begun to sink. This gap even allowed grass to grow through the concrete. This particular homeowner was already very familiar with the company because they had been hired before. They had owned two homes throughout the years and HomeSpec encapsulated both crawl spaces. When it came time for more repairs, they already knew what company they wanted to work with.

A senior project manager named Erik visited the home and evaluated the cracked driveway. He was the same project manager who had done their last inspection for the crawl space. Erik discussed his findings with the homeowner and together they came up with a plan that met the homeowner’s goals. The homeowner agreed to let HomeSpec’s team use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slabs up again until the entire driveway was level again. Then, the crew would seal the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The group that completed this project was led by a PolyLevel foreman named Fred. The homeowner was happy with the final results!

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 Dearborn, MI resident moved into their home 30 years ago. This homeowner intends to leave the house to their daughters and plans to remodel and refresh everything. The first issue they decided to tackle was fixing the driveway and the garage. After some searching, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Yann, went out to the home and investigated all of the concrete. He discussed with the homeowner the best way to meet the homeowner’s goals. The first step would be to lift the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. The second step would be to seal the joints and any cracks by using NexusPro sealant. The end result would be leveled, sealed concrete, and a clean aesthetic. The homeowner agreed to this plan and worked out a schedule for the HomeSpec foreman and crew to complete the project.

The sidewalks in front of a Royal Oak, MI home had become unlevel, sinking in sections. The highest areas of the public sidewalks were tripping hazards for the community. The homeowner was concened that the city would push for concrete replacement and insist that responsibility fell on the homeowner’s shoulders. Knowing this could be a costly solution, they searched for other options in advance. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to learn more about concrete leveling repairs.

A project manager named Ben went out to the home to provide a free inspection for the homeowner. The two spoke about their concerns and then took a look outside. Ben recorded important information on the condition of the sidewalks so he could prepare a repair plan. He then sat down with the homeowner to review what he had noticed and proposed the best options to meet their needs. Ben recommended using PolyLevel® Injection Foam where there were sinking slabs to return them to level that matched the rest of the sidewalk. Afterward, the HomeSpec crew would use NexusPro, a specialized sealant, on the joints and where there were cracks. The homeowner agreed with this plan and worked with HomeSpec’s office personnel to schedule a day for the repairs. Fred, a foreman who excels at this type of work, led a team in completing the project.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to get his concrete driveway repaired after putting it off for many years. Several slabs were sunken and cracked, causing a tripping hazard. He needed a permanent solution. 

Our team used PolyLevel to solve this problem. We injected an expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam under the concrete slabs to raise and level them by filling in gaps caused by soil shrinkage and washout. Then we sealed all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro sealant. Then the concrete was sealed with our SealantPro to protect and preserve it. This prevents discoloration, flaking, and cracking over time. The homeowner was so happy with how his driveway transformed!
