HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Prolonged instances of water damage to walls can become a very unsightly problem, especially with drywall being prone to mold growth when water damaged. The first instance shows a situation where a homeowner wasn't sure of the source, but water was seeping into her basement along her walls, staining and damaging them. The second image however, shows our installed BrightWall system. BrightWall is a fully waterproof solution and creates a vapor barrier on the basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity, ensuring the homeowner won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. BrightWall provides a lively clean look to the space while it also directs water seepage into the perimeter drain. Quite an impressive difference in visual appeal and functionality! 

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. 

This homeowner was dealing with water pooling around his home and seeping into his basement, causing water damage, so he called HomeSpec to make it better.

Our team of experts decided that a interior French drain system with a sump pump would be the best solution. The drain will collect the water coming in and funnel it to the sump pump, which will then expel the water away from the home.

Our sump pump system is a powerful force with two pumps and a battery backup pump in case of power loss. The pumps can discharge thousands of gallons of water every hour, keeping the home safe and dry!
