HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

"I'm so tired of cleaning up a wet basement. Help."

That's what Scott F. in Royal Oak, Michigan said when he contacted HomeSpec. Water had been seeping into his basement whenever it rained and he needed a long-term repair – so that's what we gave him. 

Foreman Blake Dushefski and his crew installed a WaterGuard Drainage System, also referred to as a French Drain. This was connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump which can pump out 2,000+ gallons of water per hour. This system installs below the floor around the perimeter of the basement to gather any water coming into the basement, then deposits it into the sump pump to be directed away from the home. This is the most efficient way to waterproof a basement from the interior. 

Scott was so excited to have a dry basement for the first time ever – and the system even held up against the record rainfall and flooding that occurred recently, which made him very happy. 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to get his concrete driveway repaired after putting it off for many years. Several slabs were sunken and cracked, causing a tripping hazard. He needed a permanent solution. 

Our team used PolyLevel to solve this problem. We injected an expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam under the concrete slabs to raise and level them by filling in gaps caused by soil shrinkage and washout. Then we sealed all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro sealant. Then the concrete was sealed with our SealantPro to protect and preserve it. This prevents discoloration, flaking, and cracking over time. The homeowner was so happy with how his driveway transformed! 

Our crew received a request from a homeowner in Ferndale, MI who wanted to address the debris that had accumulated in their crawlspace over the years. Frustrated by the mess and its potential impact on their home's overall well-being, they reached out to us for help. With our crews' combined experience in encapsulation, they reassured the homeowner and cleared out the debris to create a clean environment beneath their home.

A homeowner in Troy, MI had us install a drainage system on three of the four walls in their basement to prevent leaking in 2018, but now, water is leaking through the wall which we didn't install the system on and they wanted us to come out and finish waterproofing the entire basement. 

A Troy, MI homeowner noticed a while ago that there were growing cracks in the foundation wall. They decided to have it fixed; however, after more time had gone by, the cracks began to worsen. The homeowner desired a permanent fix so they would not have to repair the same cracks again. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to receive a free inspection.

Ted, a senior project manager, went out to the home and investigated the cracks in question. After gauging the situation, he proposed a plan to the homeowner. He suggested drilling through the wall and using a high pressure urethane crack injection to fill any voids and completely seal the cracks. The homeowner agreed with this plan and later witnessed the completed project. Mike, a service technician, was in charge of this foundation wall crack repair and left the homeowner happy with the work.
