Home Protected from Water Damage in Macomb, MI

A homeowner from Macomb, MI, contacted HomeSpec after discovering water leaking into their unfinished basement. They use the space in many different ways and wanted to continue doing so without worrying about water damage. HomeSpec sent project manager Joshua to provide a free inspection of the home.

After completing his inspection, Joshua found that the homeowners’ sump pump did not have a backup system. Without a backup sump pump, a basement is much more likely to flood. Based on what he observed, Joshua proposed that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to install an UltraSump® system. This would provide the additional protection needed to prevent water leakage. The UltraSump is also a high-capacity battery backup system, offering protection if the primary sump pump fails or loses power.

In addition, Joshua recommended installing an Interior Drainage System to direct unwanted water to the sump pump, helping keep the basement dry and free of excess water. To finish the project, he suggested adding a clean, reliable finish with BrightWall®. This would protect the walls by preventing moisture and mold from damaging the basement. Once the homeowner agreed to the repair plan, a team from HomeSpec, led by Mike and Kevin and accompanied by Rick, a plumbing specialist, got to work on the repairs. When the job was completed, the homeowner was pleased to have a reliable, worry-free basement.
