HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Southfield, MI originally reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with interest in external waterproofing solutions. Unfortunately, water was entering their basement and causing trouble. HomeSpec did help with waterproofing the home thanks to the foremen, Vernon and Ryan, and their team. All was well that could be seen. However, hiding behind a section of drywall in a new area, there was a large foundation crack that later began to leak. 

The homeowner reached back out to HomeSpec and a project manager soon visited. This project manager inspected the crack and came up with a plan to fix the leak. They proposed to the homeowner that HomeSpec use a high pressure urethane injection to stop the leak. The injected material would fill the space behind the foundation wall that was allowing water to enter the basement. The repair team would then seal the crack on the inside of the wall to further prevent leaks.

HomeSpec regularly works with property management companies to ensure their homes remain dry and safe. One such company in Southfield, MI reached out for help with a leaky bi-level basement and full basement. It was clear that water had been streaking down the walls, leaving stains and cracked paint in its wake. HomeSpec sent a senior project manager named Keith to take a look at the home and derive a plan based on its condition.

During the free inspection, Keith took note of where the water was entering from. He noticed a plethora of rod holes throughout the foundation. Keith determined that the best solution would protect the home using a handful of waterproofing products. First, the rod holes should be repaired with high pressure urethane injections by a skilled technician, like Domonique. Next, an internal drainage system should be installed using WaterGuard® French drains. This system would connect to a sump pump that would then discharge any water away from the foundation. 

Finally, the walls would be lined with CleanSpace® vapor barrier to direct water into the system. The completed project resulted in a drier, more aesthetically pleasing basement!

HomeSpec was contacted by a soon-to-be new homeowner who was concerned about foundation issues with the house he wanted to buy. Our team found that the basement walls were leaning inward, and water was getting into the basement.

I-beams were placed on the walls to stabilize them, and an interior drainage system was installed. 

Our team cleaned and encapsulated a crawl sapce.
