Before & After Photos

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. 

This homeowner was experiencing problems in their crawl space, that's when we came out to the property and recommended the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. CleanSpace encapsulation provides a barrier against moisture, pests, and mold, making the crawl space a healthier environment. Additionally, the encapsulation system keeps the home at a consistent temperature by reducing air leaks, which can lower energy bills. CleanSpace is designed with a durable liner that is resistant to tearing and punctures, ensuring long-lasting protection for your crawl space.

A homeowner in Ypsilanti, MI bought their house ten years ago and began renting it out shortly after. The same tenant had been renting throughout this timeframe; however, they decided it was time to move on. The homeowner made a similar decision, that it was time to sell the house. They had a realtor evaluate the property and concluded that if the basement concerns were repaired, they could sell for the maximum property value. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Zach, a senior project manager, did a thorough walkthrough of the basement and took some measurements to view the full scope of the concerns. The moisture meter registered 99.9% on all four basement walls and there was a noticeable leaning of one of the walls. Zach recommended stabilizing the wall first and then waterproofing the basement. The homeowner agreed with this plan and to have HomeSpec move forward with the repairs. Foreman Jim led the wall support team in installing the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System, made of carbon fiber straps and epoxy resin. This system stabilized the wall in a fashion that would not impact the future owner’s ability to finish the basement if they saw fit. The homeowner was happy knowing the basement was safe for the next person to enjoy.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because he discovered leaking rod holes in his basement wall.

Rod holes are a sneaky, yet quick and easy problem to fix. They were formed when the walls were originally made - steel rods were passed through the concrete to hold the form panels together. This is done to keep the shape and prevent the concrete from bulging. They were then removed, leaving the holes behind. 

After our crew sealed them up, you couldn't even tell they were ever there! 

A couple in Canton, MI loved their home and planned to pass it on to their kids one day in the future. Unfortunately, that vision was in danger of falling apart due to foundation problems. They could see the family room was sinking more and more as time went on. It was evident by the 1.5 inch gap between the wall and hardwood flooring. The homeowners struggled to enjoy the space as they feared it would get worse. With the desire to host family gatherings and protect their home, they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

HomeSpec sent one of their project managers, Jeremiah, to inspect the home’s situation and make a fitting recommendation. Many settlement issues can be fixed using piers or some other form of floor support. However, this home required a different approach. Jeremiah suggested using PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slab the family room sits on and then seal any cracks by using NexusPro sealant. The homeowners agreed to this plan and then scheduled a HomeSpec team to do the work. Fred, a foreman who specializes in PolyLeveling jobs, led the crew and together they completed the job within one day. The homeowners were happy with the final results and would later install new flooring.
