HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was looking to have some natural light and air filtration in their basement, they were unsure how to proceed, but after reaching out to us, we came up with a custom solution that fit the needs of this homeowner.

Our team waterproofed, insulated, and encapsulated the crawl space and installed and interior drainage system. 

In 2022, a family moved into a home in Plymouth, MI. Over the last couple of years, the finished basement has suffered water damage during heavy rains. It had gotten so bad that the children were no longer able to play downstairs. The family installed a sump pump hoping to solve this problem; however, the next time it rained the sump pump proved ineffective. They were ready to finally be done with these leaks so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Jeremiah, a project manager for HomeSpec, went to the home to do an inspection. He saw the sump pump the family had purchased as well as the areas where water intrusion in the basement occurred. He shared with them that a sump pump was a good idea, but that it alone was not enough to stop the water. Jeremiah proposed using a powerful sump pump that is compatible with an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® french drains. These drains would line the majority of the basement walls which would reach where the previous sump pump could not. He also suggested using the Everlast Wall Restoration System which is a waterproof basement finishing material and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The homeowners agreed to use these products. HomeSpec’s foremen, Brandon and Rick, led the installations for this project. The family was happy to have their usable basement back for the whole family when the work was completed.

A homeowner in Plymouth, MI had an unfinished basement with a concrete block foundation. Unfortunately, water was leaking through the foundation during heavy rains. This repeated water intrusion had caused damage to the walls, floors, and stairs. The homeowner wanted to ensure this issue did not continue to get worse. So, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair about receiving a free inspection.

Sidney, one of HomeSpec’s inspection managers, went out to the home and thoroughly evaluated the situation. He concluded the best way to waterproof the basement and discussed a repair plan with the homeowner. They agreed to have HomeSpec install a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, which would connect to an existing basin, as well as a CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the walls of the basement. A foreman named Brandon and a plumber named Rick led the crew in these repairs. While installing the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, they were able to blend the concrete with the deteriorating areas to create a more cohesive aesthetic. The homeowner was happy with the completed project!

A homeowner in Plymouth, MI was struggling with multiple symptoms caused by a single issue. They had a slanting concrete patio which caused a tripping hazard, water to pool against the foundation, and leaks in the basement. The homeowner wanted to remedy these plentiful problems, so they reached out to a professional company. 

The HomeSpec call center set up a free inspection with Elon, a senior project manager. He spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and then conducted his analysis of the situation. Based on what Elon saw, he recommended lifting the sinking concrete with PolyLevel® Injection Foam and sealing the cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant. This would eliminate the tripping hazard and prevent pooling against the foundation. The homeowner agreed with this repair plan and worked with the scheduling team to have a crew bring the plan to life. The foreman who led this crew was Domonique, and together they helped the homeowner’s goals become a reality.
