HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saline, MI, noticed water leakage in the basement. The basement is unfinished, but the homeowners use the space for storage. They wanted a solution to their problem and decided to give HomeSpec a call for help. HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Erik, gave a free inspection of the homeowner’s basement. He confirmed the water leakage and proposed a solution to prevent any further problems.

Erik proposed that HomeSpec install a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to protect the basement, along with an Interior Drainage System to help guide unwanted water to the sump pump. Erik then suggested they finish the basement with the CleanSpace® Wall System to help hold back the water vapor passing through the walls. The homeowner accepted the plan, and a team from HomeSpec, led by Rick, got to work. The homeowner was happy with the final product and was glad to have peace of mind knowing that the basement was protected from any further problems.

A homeowner in Saint Clair Shores, MI, had water leaking into their unfinished basement, as well as cracked and uneven concrete. They intend to sell the home in the next few years and want to ensure that the house will be ready. They decided to give HomeSpec a call for help.

HomeSpec's project manager, Bill, inspected the homeowner's property and confirmed the water leakage and the cracked and uneven concrete. Bill proposed that HomeSpec use NexusPro Crack Repair for their driveway to provide the concrete with long-lasting flexibility, accompanied by SealantPro to help protect it from harsh weather. For the homeowner's basement, Bill proposed the SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump system to help keep the basement dry and healthy, along with an Interior Drainage System to help drain water outside of the home. The homeowner accepted the proposal, and a team from HomeSpec, led by Brian, Fred, and Domonique, got to work. The homeowner was happy with the results and is now worry-free when the time comes to sell the home.

A Troy, MI homeowner had discovered a new musty smell in their home after 40 years of living in it. They came to the realization that the smell was originating from their crawl space. Once they had done a personal inspection on their home, they had found water leakage. Concerned this would cause damage to the wood and foundation, they decided to give HomeSpec a call. 

HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Mark, inspected this residence and confirmed that water had accessed the crawl space. Mark had proposed to the homeowners that a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System accompanied with SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe Drainage system would be the best fit for their situation. The homeowners agreed, and the team got to work waterproofing the homeowner’s crawl space. At the end of the installations the team members were able to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier to combat the musty smells from returning. The homeowners were happy knowing their crawl space was suited to keep water from damaging their home.

A Hudson, MI homeowner saw that there was water coming through the vertical cracks of their basement walls. This concern led the homeowner to call HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. The senior project manager, Ben, did a walk-through of the house as well as a walk-around to understand the full extent of the situation. There were more concerns than just water leaking through the basement wall cracks, the walls needed to be stabilized to prevent more cracks from forming as well as bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards. The homeowner agreed to repairs that would waterproof and stabilize the basement and HomeSpec scheduled their crews to return.

This Hudson, MI received a complete makeover. The foremen who led the work were Ryan and Eleftherios. Some of the products HomeSpec used include the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System to stabilize the foundation, WaterGuard® interior drainage system to collect leaking water, a new Sump Pump to expel the water collected, IceGuard® to prevent the discharge from freezing, CleanSpace® to encapsulate the walls, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control excess moisture and mold growth. The team also installed new gutters and downspout extensions to ensure protection outside as well.

Spring is by far the worst time for basements and below-grade spaces. First the snow melts at the end of winter and the soil around foundations becomes waterlogged, and then it rains for several months straight. This means major seepage in our basements, or worse - flooding. This homeowner in Morenci, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec for this very reason.

The homeowner would find puddles in her basement all throughout the year, but it was worst in the spring. The water was seeping in at the joint where the floor and the wall meet, which is very common since there is a gap there. One year, her basement even flooded. As she got older, this became more stressful to deal with and she needed a permanent solution. That's where HomeSpec comes in.

Our team installed an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. This system collects the water before it can leak in, and deposits it into the sump pump. The sump pump can then direct the water up and away from the home to prevent water intrusion. 

The homeowner was happy to report that even after a rainy spring, she found no leaks in her basement!
