HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Newport, MI had not experienced any issues in their crawl space for over 20 years, until they noticed a musty odor beginning to permeate through the home. Confused as to what could be causing this they reached out to us for a solution. We recommended having their crawlspace encapsulated due to the water rising above level, this was most likely the cause of the musty odor that was spreading throughout the home. 

These Drayton Plains homeowners contacted HomeSpec because water was seeping into their basement in two ways: 1) Through cracks and rod holes in the foundation walls 2) Through the joint where the floors and walls meet. 

Their project manager and inspector decided that after the cracks and rod holes were repaired, the best route to waterproof the basement would be a WaterGuard® Below Floor Drain. This installs around the perimeter of the basement to stop water intrusion from the walls and said joint. This was connected to a SaniDry™ XP Dehumidifier and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This system will keep the basement dry and pump water far from the foundation.

A CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier for unfinished walls was installed as well to block moisture and water vapor from entering the basement, and instead directs in to the drainage system. This Drayton Plains home now has the ultimate protection against water intrusion, and the homeowners couldn't be any more pleased. 

This homeowner in Flat Rock, Mi was experiencing a leak in their basement for some time. The crack in the wall had gotten so large that there was water deposits starting to affect the paint and cause the homeowner trouble to look at. Wanting to solve their issue once and for all, they reached out to us to have the crack sealed with High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection.

This Michigan home had a very unique feature - a long window well along one entire side of their basement with a timber retaining wall. It was a beautiful feature and allowed for a large window in the basement bedroom that let in tons of natural light. But it came with a big problem: WATER. 

There was a high amount of water under the home and water would pool in the window well especially after heavy rain, so water was seeping into the basement. There was no interior drainage system to prevent this and only one sump pump on the other side of the large basement. There was also not proper drainage in the window well. These circumstances all led to a big headache for the homeowners and their finished basement. 

But our crew promptly solved this issue by installing an interior drainage system along the section of the basement that borders the window well, as well as installing exterior drainage in the window well. We also installed two brand new TripleSafe sump pumps to handle the high levels of water. To finish it off, we installed our Everlast™ Finished Wall Restoration System. These inorganic, mold-resistant wall panels replace the bottom 3 feet of the wall. This prevents the finished basement walls from becoming damaged by water while giving an appealing finished appearance to the room. 

This long-lasting solution will keep this finished basement dry and looking great for years to come, and the homeowners are very pleased!
