HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Case Studies: Leaking Rod Holes Damage Repair in Plymouth, MI Basement

Challenge

This Plymouth, MI homeowner’s basement was riddled with rod holes and cracks that leak. The constant water exposure had made each hole a distinctly noticeable eye sore. Not to mention, caused damage and wet floors. Aside from the side effects, one of the challenges facing this homeowner was the sheer amount of problematic rod holes. 75 of them needed to be repaired and the remainder of the basement needed to be waterproofed.

Solution

To find viable solutions, the homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. The project manager, Mark, recommended repairs that address both the rod holes and the basement as a whole. The homeowner approved and two HomeSpec crews were scheduled to get the work done. The first crew was led by foreman Mike. They repaired the leaking rod holes and cracks using high pressure urethane injections, stopping the water from within. The second crew was led by foreman Brandon to waterproof the basement. This was done using a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a new Sump Pump, an existing discharge and basin, and CleanSpace®. This collection of products will collect any water that intrudes, pump it away from the home, and keep the walls looking fresh.
