A homeowner in Emmett, MI was concerned about the cracks in their basement walls. While they may not have been large cracks, they did not want to wait for them to get worse. Especially since they planned to live in the house for at least five more years. It was important to this homeowner that their basement remain the functional storage space it has been used for, and that meant ensuring the foundation was sound. With this in mind, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair regarding a free inspection.
One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Rob, arrived at the home, conducted the inspection, and opened a dialogue with the owner. Rob explained that the cracks the owner saw in the foundation walls were caused by pressure from water saturating the soil. He proposed a repair plan of installing a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to collect this water and escort it to the sump pump. It was essential that the work done was quality with a good warranty for the homeowner to consider moving forward with the project. With these assurances, the homeowner agreed and scheduled a time for the installation. A team led by a foreman named Michael, with help from HomeSpec’s plumber, Rick, got right to work. Together, they completed the repair plan.
