HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Palmyra, MI couple found their forever home 25 years ago. As they have aged together, getting up and down the basement stairs has become more of a challenge. They did not want to have to keep checking on the state of their basement which was suffering from moisture problems. Together, they made up their minds to get the basement in the best condition possible. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for solutions.

Elon, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home for an inspection and conversation with the homeowners. He learned that the moisture issues were originating from the windows and proposed the couple install SunHouse™ Window Wells as the remedy. Elon explained that these SunHouse™ Window Wells add a protective barrier that keeps out rain, snow, and debris which prevents leaks from the windows. The homeowners approved of this plan and had the HomeSpec crews out for the installations. The two foremen leading the crews were Brandon and Ryan. The homeowners were happy with their work and their newly protected windows!

Our team installed a new egress window and vinyl window in Dundee.

This homeowner from Dundee, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because water was leaking into her basement after heavy rains and her sump pump was too old and outdated to remove the water. 

To protect the basement and the belongings stored down there, HomeSpec waterproofed the home. Foreman Jon Davis and his crew installed a WaterGuard Drainage System (aka French Drain) around the perimeter of the basement. This was connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which will promptly funnel water away from the home even during heavy rainstorms. 

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!

This homeowner owns an old farmhouse with a fieldstone foundation in Maybee, Michigan. He noticed that the floors above the crawl space were sagging and bouncy, so he contacted HomeSpec.

When our specialist performed an inspection though, water and high-humidity were also discovered in the crawl space. To solve these issues, HomeSpec had to install a vapor barrier, dehumidifier and support posts. 

The SmartJack Support Posts were installed to raise and level the floors, and prevent them from sagging in the future. The crawl space was encapsulated with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal off the walls and floor from moisture. The dehumidifier was essential for maintaining a healthy 55% relative humidity - preventing condensation and mold growth. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of his dry, healthy crawl space!
