Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because she had a vertical crack (shown in photo) in her foundation that was leaking. 

She wanted it repaired from the outside, so our crew excavated that section of the wall and sealed the crack to waterproof and stabilized the foundation (shown in second photo). Once the dirt was filled back in, it looked good as new!

The problem this homeowner was facing was that his foundation was sinking - causing serious cracks on the outside and inside of his garage. After doing some research, he called the professionals at HomeSpec. 

To solve this problem, our specialists installed helical piers under the foundation. The piers lift the foundation back into place and stabilize it - preventing any more damage. Then we repaired the cracks and the concrete inside the garage. This homeowner is extremely thankful that we were able to save his garage and his foundation! 

Robert L. in Commerce Township, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because he was suffering from sagging floors above his crawl space and knew it meant he had a structural problem below. There were also cracks in the upper level as well as the floor separating from the floor boards, which are all signs of settlement issues. 

Foreman Jon Lont was able to resolve these issues by installing a new supplemental beam with 5 SmartJack Support Posts. These galvanized steel posts stabilize the crawl space by holding the weight of the structure and lifting the floors above back to their original height – effectively eliminating the sagging floors. 

These new homeowners had a big obstacle to overcome as soon as they bought their beautiful new home - the damaged foundation. The block basement walls were bowing inward and severely cracked, which was letting water in as well. The floors above were sagging due to the lack of support in the basement. It was a big project, but HomeSpec was ready to take it on!

Our professionals designed a custom solution for this basement. Our crew installed our PowerBrace and CarbonArmor Wall Stabilization Systems to repair the walls and potentially even straighten them over time. The cracks were then sealed to waterproof the block walls. Support posts were installed to raise the floors and prevent them from sagging again in the future. 

A homeowner in Millington, MI called on HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help with their sinking house. The issues had caused the ceiling drywall to crack. The owner suspected clay soil to be the cause and wanted help with leveling and re-adjusting the main beam under the house. They scheduled a free inspection to learn more.

Bill, one of HomeSpec’s project managers, arrived for the inspection and met with the homeowner. He then entered the crawl space and began his assessment. He noted cinderblock pillars and some existing supports were present; however, those methods alone were not enough to keep the house from settling. Bill recommended a repair plan consisting of SmartJack® support posts and supplemental beams along the main beam of the home, in addition to the existing support system. SmartJack® support posts have adjustment capabilities which makes them an excellent option for stabilizing a home. The owner decided to move forward with this proposal and coordinated a time for the installation. Tony led a crew throughout this project and saw it to completion.
