Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saline, MI, noticed water leakage in the basement. The basement is unfinished, but the homeowners use the space for storage. They wanted a solution to their problem and decided to give HomeSpec a call for help. HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Erik, gave a free inspection of the homeowner’s basement. He confirmed the water leakage and proposed a solution to prevent any further problems.

Erik proposed that HomeSpec install a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to protect the basement, along with an Interior Drainage System to help guide unwanted water to the sump pump. Erik then suggested they finish the basement with the CleanSpace® Wall System to help hold back the water vapor passing through the walls. The homeowner accepted the plan, and a team from HomeSpec, led by Rick, got to work. The homeowner was happy with the final product and was glad to have peace of mind knowing that the basement was protected from any further problems.

A homeowner in Saint Clair Shores, MI, had water leaking into their unfinished basement, as well as cracked and uneven concrete. They intend to sell the home in the next few years and want to ensure that the house will be ready. They decided to give HomeSpec a call for help.

HomeSpec's project manager, Bill, inspected the homeowner's property and confirmed the water leakage and the cracked and uneven concrete. Bill proposed that HomeSpec use NexusPro Crack Repair for their driveway to provide the concrete with long-lasting flexibility, accompanied by SealantPro to help protect it from harsh weather. For the homeowner's basement, Bill proposed the SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump system to help keep the basement dry and healthy, along with an Interior Drainage System to help drain water outside of the home. The homeowner accepted the proposal, and a team from HomeSpec, led by Brian, Fred, and Domonique, got to work. The homeowner was happy with the results and is now worry-free when the time comes to sell the home.

A homeowner in Dearborn, MI noticed that water was getting into the basement during heavy rains. The homeowner wanted to prevent any further water intrusion from occurring year-round and called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what options were available.

HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Keith, visited the home for an inspection. After looking both inside and outside of the home and speaking with the homeowner, Keith made some recommendations. This home was built using a block foundation and had tile flooring on top of concrete. To waterproof this type of space thoroughly, it is important to protect both the walls and the floor. The homeowner approved of the recommended products and a crew, led by foreman Vernon, was scheduled to install them.

As with many waterproofing jobs, HomeSpec used an interior drainage system comprised of WaterGuard® and a Sump Pump. To take this a step further, this homeowner utilized a sump discharge with freeze prevention. These elements protect the floor, while CleanSpace® protects the walls. Not only does it control leaking water, but it also provides a clean aesthetic for any basement or crawl space. The homeowner thoroughly enjoyed their experience with HomeSpec and left a positive review!

A homeowner in Fowlerville, MI discovered that the waterproofing system in their basement had failed and was not installed correctly. Because of these errors, water was beginning to enter the basement in multiple places. One of their biggest concerns was that the home would lose value due to water damage. They were eager to find a solution, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. 

HomeSpec sent one of their senior project managers, Ted, to conduct a free inspection. He thoroughly inspected the home and discovered more issues than the old waterproofing system. There were also structural concerns and unique soil conditions. The homeowner agreed to all of HomeSpec’s recommendations and the crews we scheduled for installations and repairs. The crews were led by foremen Brandon and Marshall.

An interior drainage system was installed with some adjustments due to the presence of iron algae. The IDS was then connected to a TripleSafe™ sump pump and sump discharge. The homeowner was very pleased with the results and the HomeSpec team because they took the time to explain what was being done and why.

A Hudson, MI homeowner saw that there was water coming through the vertical cracks of their basement walls. This concern led the homeowner to call HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. The senior project manager, Ben, did a walk-through of the house as well as a walk-around to understand the full extent of the situation. There were more concerns than just water leaking through the basement wall cracks, the walls needed to be stabilized to prevent more cracks from forming as well as bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards. The homeowner agreed to repairs that would waterproof and stabilize the basement and HomeSpec scheduled their crews to return.

This Hudson, MI received a complete makeover. The foremen who led the work were Ryan and Eleftherios. Some of the products HomeSpec used include the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System to stabilize the foundation, WaterGuard® interior drainage system to collect leaking water, a new Sump Pump to expel the water collected, IceGuard® to prevent the discharge from freezing, CleanSpace® to encapsulate the walls, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control excess moisture and mold growth. The team also installed new gutters and downspout extensions to ensure protection outside as well.
