HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Pinckney, MI noticed a few vertical cracks in their foundation walls that had water seeping through. Before things could escalate, they began looking for help. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to conduct an inspection. The senior project manager, Keith, recommended repairs that would fill in the cracks where the water is leaking through and then seal the cracks themselves. The crew would use high pressure urethane injections for this type of repair. The homeowner was happy to hear of this option and decided HomeSpec was the company to take care of their home.

A homeowner in Manitou Beach, MI noticed that one corner of their home was sloping. It had reached a point where they knew professional intervention was necessary. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help. A senior project manager, Ben, performed an inspection and discussed some options with the homeowner.

The homeowner liked the plan that involved repairing the settlement issue from within the crawl space. Ben explained that a SmartJack® support system and supplemental beams would be installed and follow a lift procedure to return the floor to a level position. The repairs were done by a crew led by foreman Jon.

A homeowner in Fowlerville, MI discovered that the waterproofing system in their basement had failed and was not installed correctly. Because of these errors, water was beginning to enter the basement in multiple places. One of their biggest concerns was that the home would lose value due to water damage. They were eager to find a solution, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. 

HomeSpec sent one of their senior project managers, Ted, to conduct a free inspection. He thoroughly inspected the home and discovered more issues than the old waterproofing system. There were also structural concerns and unique soil conditions. The homeowner agreed to all of HomeSpec’s recommendations and the crews we scheduled for installations and repairs. The crews were led by foremen Brandon and Marshall.

An interior drainage system was installed with some adjustments due to the presence of iron algae. The IDS was then connected to a TripleSafe™ sump pump and sump discharge. The homeowner was very pleased with the results and the HomeSpec team because they took the time to explain what was being done and why.

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!
