HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Macomb, MI homeowner contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with concerns about their sump pump. HomeSpec sent one of their project managers, Sean, to the home. Upon arriving, he noticed that there were large gaps in the driveway. Certain spots had even been invaded by grass. 

Sean spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and went on to provide a free inspection. After investigating the sump pump in the basement floor he returned to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan. Sean, of course, talked about the areas the homeowner was concerned about but also brought up the driveway. Sean recommended installing a new sump pump as well as filling the concrete cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant to protect the driveway. The homeowner agreed with both of these recommendations and scheduled a team for the repairs. A foreman named Domonique led the charge and the homeowner was happy with the crew’s hard work!

A homeowner in Macomb, MI originally reached out to HomeSpec because there was water in the basement during heavy rains. The scheduling team worked with the homeowner to find a date and time that worked best for a project manager to provide a free inspection and a no-obligation estimate. On the day of the appointment, the project manager noticed that much more than just waterproofing repairs were needed.

Throughout the property, there was cracked concrete. The area surrounding the pool was especially concerning. Uneven concrete makes for tripping hazards, which is not something homeowners or families want in high-traffic areas. The project manager proposed lifting the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and then sealing the cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant. When the repairs were completed, the area surrounding the pool would be evenly flat and secured. The homeowner agreed to this repair plan, as well as the recommendations for the waterproofing repairs. The concrete leveling work was led by a foreman named Domonique. With his team, they were able to make the homeowner’s goals a reality. 

A couple in Macomb, MI has lived in a house for the last 23 years, since it was built. Unfortunately, there has been water leaking in the basement through a concrete foundation wall. They knew that if their children were to inherit the house they would want to take care of any and all issues first. They definitely did not want to leave mold or potential for more to grow. To get their basement assessed, the homeowners called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair.

HomeSpec sent Chris B., an inspector, for the evaluation. He did a walkthrough of the home and a lap around the outside to get a full understanding of the condition. After speaking with the homeowners about their concerns, he provided some suggestions. A sump pump and WaterGuard® drainage system would capture the water and pump it away from the home while the Everlast Wall Restoration System would prevent future leaks and insulate the space. The wall waterproofing material also includes a 50-year warranty and offers a clean look. The homeowners approved all of the recommendations and HomeSpec scheduled a crew to begin the work.

The foreman, Brandon H., led the team in getting the work done efficiently. After installing the interior drainage system the crew turned their attention to the Everlast Wall Restoration System. They carefully removed the bottom portion of the basement walls and fitted the waterproofing material into place. The team used baseboards to finish the project and tidied up after themselves. The homeowners were pleased with the final results, a dry and beautiful basement.

A home in Macomb, MI was on the market so the current homeowner could move closer to family. Unfortunately, one accepted offer was rescinded after a home inspector found moisture and mold in the crawl space. The homeowner did not want to risk this happening again and decided to have the crawl space repaired. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection and estimate.

Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, did his own inspection so the crew would be properly prepared if the homeowner decided to move forward with the company. He saw the mold and moisture issues previously pointed out and investigated the scope of the damage. Zach then created a repair plan and brought it to the homeowner for consideration. He recommended using Mold-X2 to prevent mold growth before installing products to prevent moisture. These products would be the SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe and CleanSpace® encapsulation. The homeowner agreed to this course of action. The HomeSpec crew that installed this project was led by foreman Jon. The homeowner was very happy with the final results!

HomeSpec already had to repair damaged walls in this Saint Clair Shores, Michigan basement back in 2020 because they were severely cracked and bowing. Recently though, the homeowner Stephanie and her dad were removing wall panels from another room in the basement and found the same exact issues – bad water damage, bowing walls and large cracks in the blocks. 

Foundation repair expert Ryan Loop and waterproofing foreman Jerry Blevins lead the crew to complete this repair. They stabilized and braced the foundation walls with the PowerBrace Wall Repair System and Carbon Fiber Straps. A WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System (aka French Drain) was installed to curb the water intrusion. Sections of the walls were covered with our BrightWall Vapor Barrier Panels to insulate and direct water into the drainage system. 

Stephanie and her father were once again very happy with the results of their newly repaired basement! They don't have to worry anymore about losing property value because of the damage or worry about the issues worsening.
