Wet Basement Waterproofed With Drainage System in Morenci, MI

Spring is by far the worst time for basements and below-grade spaces. First the snow melts at the end of winter and the soil around foundations becomes waterlogged, and then it rains for several months straight. This means major seepage in our basements, or worse - flooding. This homeowner in Morenci, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec for this very reason.

The homeowner would find puddles in her basement all throughout the year, but it was worst in the spring. The water was seeping in at the joint where the floor and the wall meet, which is very common since there is a gap there. One year, her basement even flooded. As she got older, this became more stressful to deal with and she needed a permanent solution. That's where HomeSpec comes in.

Our team installed an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. This system collects the water before it can leak in, and deposits it into the sump pump. The sump pump can then direct the water up and away from the home to prevent water intrusion. 

The homeowner was happy to report that even after a rainy spring, she found no leaks in her basement!
