Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec after she bought a home with severe foundation issues, including a wall that was cracked from top to bottom and bowing - and ultimately at risk of collapsing. 

Our team of experts straightened the wall and pushed it back into place. It was waterproofed from the outside, and the cracks were repaired with our polyurethane sealant then reinforced by power grids on the inside. The walls were permanently stabilized by a carbon fiber system and a power brace system to prevent movement in the future. 

This homeowner is now so happy and ready to enjoy her new home knowing her basement is stable and dry. 

Our crews were called to a job where multiple basement walls were cracked. We installed I-beams to stabilize the walls.

An interior drainage system was also installed in the basement. 

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. 

HomeSpec already had to repair damaged walls in this Saint Clair Shores, Michigan basement back in 2020 because they were severely cracked and bowing. Recently though, the homeowner Stephanie and her dad were removing wall panels from another room in the basement and found the same exact issues – bad water damage, bowing walls and large cracks in the blocks. 

Foundation repair expert Ryan Loop and waterproofing foreman Jerry Blevins lead the crew to complete this repair. They stabilized and braced the foundation walls with the PowerBrace Wall Repair System and Carbon Fiber Straps. A WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System (aka French Drain) was installed to curb the water intrusion. Sections of the walls were covered with our BrightWall Vapor Barrier Panels to insulate and direct water into the drainage system. 

Stephanie and her father were once again very happy with the results of their newly repaired basement! They don't have to worry anymore about losing property value because of the damage or worry about the issues worsening. 

A Saint Clair Shores, MI home was owned by former residents of the state. Because they still owned the home, they decided it would be a good idea for their father to move in; however, it would have to be repaired first. The floors were uneven, there were noticeable cracks, shifting, and water was causing damage. Unfortunately, it was not possible to tell the scope of the damage until the drywall was removed to reveal the foundation walls themselves. The homeowners called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection and to discuss possible solutions.

The senior project manager, Zach, recommended stabilizing the walls with both GeoLock® Wall Anchor and PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System depending on the area of the basement. He also suggested waterproofing the walls to prevent further leaking and installing an interior drainage system made with WaterGuard® to route any water to a storm cleanout. The homeowners approved of these repairs and worked with the scheduling team to plan out the installations. The work was led by Brian V, Marshall, Rick F, Rick G, and Ryan. While the finished basement may have looked prettier before the repairs, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their father lives in a stable, secure, and dry environment.
