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!
A homeowner in Blissfield, MI noticed that the corners of their foundation were cracking. Water was also getting into the basement. Throughout the seven years of owning this house, they had been making improvements to increase the value. However, the renovations had to be put on hold until the foundation issues were resolved. The homeowner heard that HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair offered free inspections and decided to give it a go.
The senior project manager who inspected the home was Mark. Mark thoroughly examined the crawl space, the inside, and the outside of the house. The crumbling corners could be seen from both inside and outside of the crawl space. He shared with the homeowner that the best way to relieve the pressure on the foundation would be to use a SmartJack® support system and a supplemental beam. They approved of this method and HomeSpec scheduled their team to get started. The homeowner was happy with the final results and had peace of mind that they would not need to worry about structural issues any longer.
The homeowner was looking for a long-term solution for keeping his basement dry after water started coming through the floor of his 100-year-old home.
A homeowner in Dexter, MI with a persistent leak in their basement called us out to reinfect a crack that was causing water to leak into the basement and cause them trouble. Our crew used High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal the crack and prevent any more water from entering the home.
After moving into a 1970s house in Britton, MI, the homeowner discovered water in the basement. When it rained, water intruded and damaged the floor and walls. Two months after this discovery, the problem got worse. The homeowner was eager to protect their new investment and called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.
HomeSpec sent one of their trained project managers to conduct an inspection of the basement. They spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and then explored both the interior and the exterior of the house. After a thorough review, the project manager proposed a repair plan. They recommended installing an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® French drains throughout the basement. This system would then connect to a new sump pump and discharge line, escorting the unwanted water out of the basement and away from the house. The homeowner agreed to this repair plan and scheduled it for execution by a HomeSpec crew.
