HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Romulus, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after buying a home with apparent water damage in the basement. The walls were water damaged and stained severely because water was seeping in at the base of the wall. 

HomeSpec tackled this issue by installing a vapor barrier over the bottom of the wall to hide the unsightly stains and to direct the water leaking in down into a WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. This system collects the water and deposits it into the TripleSafe Sump Pump to be funneled away from the foundation. All three of these work together seamlessly to keep the basement dry and looking great!

In Livonia, MI, two realtors worked together to make the sale and purchase of a home as simple as possible. They were both working with family members and strived for the best outcome for both parties. The buyer and the seller wanted to ensure the house was structurally sound. Having peace of mind that the house was safe and healthy was a priority, so they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Mark, went out to the home and entered the crawl space. While he was there, Mark took measurements and notes so he could accurately diagnose the problem and create a repair plan. He shared that the best solution would be to install SmartJack® support posts where there were cinderblocks holding up beams in the crawl space. This would provide a more stable support that would not crack or crumble with time. They agreed with this plan and HomeSpec was scheduled to install the SmartJack® support posts. Jon, one of HomeSpec’s foremen, led an installation team. The final results accomplished the buyer and seller's goal of safer structural support.

A sinking patio in Livonia, MI was cause for concern for this homeowner. The step from the patio to the door had grown as the concrete slab sank lower, increasing the risk of tripping. The homeowner wanted their concrete leveling done by a professional, so they reached out to HomeSpec. The customer care team set up an appointment with a project manager to visit the home and provide a free estimate.

During the appointment, the project manager discussed the homeowner’s goals and took thorough notes about the condition of the patio. After recording the necessary measurements, the project manager recommended lifting the concrete with PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Once the slabs were leveled, the crew would use NexusPro sealant to protect the joints. The homeowner approved of this repair plan and later worked with the scheduling team to have the repairs completed. Fred, a foreman specializing in concrete leveling, led a crew in this project.

In Livonia, MI, a homeowner saw that was was leaking in a corner of their unfinished basement. After living in the home for 20 years, they were considering selling in the future. Regardless if they stayed or sold, they knew that this water leak needed to be addressed. After some looking around, the homeowner found HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. HomeSpec sent their senior project manager, Erik, to do an inspection.

After some careful thought, Erik suggested an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® and connecting it to discharge to the storm cleanout. This system would effectively catch any water from a poured foundation such as this one and dispel it, keeping the basement dry. The homeowner liked this plan and moved forward with the repairs. HomeSpec sent their plumber, Rick, and foreman, Josh, to lead the work. The homeowner was satisfied with the work and service from HomeSpec and left a positive review!

A home in Livonia, MI was experiencing leaks throughout their basement, which included the bathroom. The homeowners were irritated with the constant water intrusion and did not want to worry about these issues any longer. This was especially concerning because their basement was finished with drywall and epoxy floors. They moved into the home in 1987 and had no intentions of moving in the future so it was important to them to take care of the house. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection.

A project manager, Jeremiah, went out to the home and took a look both inside and outside. It was important for him to have a full understanding of the situation so he could provide an accurate repair plan. Jeremiah proposed installing waterproofing products to capture the water and remove it from the home. This would be done using a WaterGuard® interior drainage system that connects to a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. He also suggested installing the waterproof basement finishing products Everlast Wall Restoration System and ThermalDry® Floor Tiles to maintain the finished aesthetic. The homeowners approved of this plan and chose the sandstone color option for the tiles. Due to the scope of the work multiple crews were required to install everything in a timely manner. The crews were led by Jon D. and Jon L. with additional help from Brian and Rick. After the project was completed the homeowners were happy with the results both in terms of efficiency and appearance.
