HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mount Clemens, MI had been experiencing the issue of a crack in their basement wall leaking for a number of years and finally wanted to have it sealed. They reached out to us for a solution and we recommended installing the Carbon Armor as well as filling the crack with High Powered Urethane Crack injection to prevent it from leaking in the future.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because she wanted an egress window installed in her basement. 

There are safety reasons for egress windows - to provide a safe escape from the home in case of emergency, and for a way for firefighters to enter. But they also let in lots of natural light to a place that's normally very dark. 

Our team installed the egress window for the homeowner, as well as a window well with proper drainage to prevent the window from leaking. A clear cover was installed over the well to still let it light, but make sure water and debris don't get in. 

Now the basement has a brand new egress window, and the homeowner was very happy with the final results!

Water had been leaking into their 100-year-old home for years, but after discovering some major foundation problems, these homeowners urgently called HomeSpec. 

There was paneling over the basement walls so the extent of the damage was unknown. After removing them, we saw that it was worse than anyone previously thought. The foundation walls were cracked and crumbling on the inside (and the outside), and the water damage was apparent after years of water intrusion. The homeowners were ready to permanently repair their basement before it got any worse - and caused them any more stress. 

HomeSpec had to rebuild 2 of the foundation walls due to the severity of the damage. They were then waterproofed from the inside and the outside. Inside, the walls were sealed with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to block moisture. Then an interior drainage system and sump pump were installed to collect water seepage and funnel it away from the home. To stabilize the walls, the PowerBrace Wall Repair System was installed. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the work, and were happy to finally put their basement troubles behind them! 

Our crew encapsulated a crawl space and installed an interior drainage system. 

These homeowners live on a lake in Chesterfield, Michigan and have a crawl space that often floods. This is a common problem with lakeside homes since they're so close to the water. After the most recent flood, their only two sump pumps died (after not being able to handle the high amount of water), and their vapor barrier was ruined. 

To give these homeowners peace of mind, our crew of professionals installed drainage matting and a vapor barrier to encapsulate and waterproof the crawl space. We also installed two new sump pumps - powerful enough to discharge thousands of gallons of water per hour. This system will prevent flooding and control the high water levels near the lake, so these homeowners can relax and enjoy their beautiful home!
