Before & After Photos

In Livonia, MI, two realtors worked together to make the sale and purchase of a home as simple as possible. They were both working with family members and strived for the best outcome for both parties. The buyer and the seller wanted to ensure the house was structurally sound. Having peace of mind that the house was safe and healthy was a priority, so they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Mark, went out to the home and entered the crawl space. While he was there, Mark took measurements and notes so he could accurately diagnose the problem and create a repair plan. He shared that the best solution would be to install SmartJack® support posts where there were cinderblocks holding up beams in the crawl space. This would provide a more stable support that would not crack or crumble with time. They agreed with this plan and HomeSpec was scheduled to install the SmartJack® support posts. Jon, one of HomeSpec’s foremen, led an installation team. The final results accomplished the buyer and seller's goal of safer structural support.

This homeowner with a damp and musty crawl space had the CleanSpace Encapsulation System take care of their worries and restore their peace of mind. 

This basement flooded after a bad storm because the homeowner's sump pump failed. Sadly, this is a common problem. Old sump pumps simply cannot handle high amounts of water.

After removing the damaged drywall, several cracked and damaged walls were discovered as well. The walls were deflecting inward and there was some shearing. This homeowner wanted to repair her basement and never have to worry about it again. 

That's where HomeSpec comes in! Our team of experts curated a special solution to solve this problem. First, the basement needed to be waterproofed so we installed an interior drainage system with a sump pump. Our sumps can pump out thousands of gallons of water every hour - preventing this basement from flooding again. Next, the walls needed to be stabilized. We used the PowerBrace wall repair system and the carbon fiber system to prevent further damage and potentially straighten them.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec about water leaking into his basement through cracks in the wall. 

Our crew repaired the cracks by injecting them with our long-lasting polyurethane sealant, preventing any future water issues. 

Scott A. from Waterford, Michigan called HomeSpec to repair his sinking garage. The garage's foundation was settling into the soil which was causing separation from the home and severe cracking. Scott also wanted some concrete repaired while we were there. 

Project Manager Keith Brown knew we could combat this issue by installing Helical Piers below the foundation. Foreman Ryan Loop and his crew got to work installing the piers to stabilize the foundation and stop the sinking. They were also able to lift the foundation back to its original position. Crack Tech Ryan Bonacorsi was then able to permanently seal the cracks in the walls. 

At the same time, Concrete Specialists Devin Parker and Alex Lofgren were working on repairing Scott's concrete. They used the PolyLevel method, a cost-effective and less-abrasive method for leveling concrete. This works by injecting polyurethane rigid foam below the concrete slabs. As the foam expands, the concrete is lifted into place. It was a quick and easy installation!
