Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In the first photo we can see a clearly failing sump pump and drainage system, as show from the visible floor cracks and stains across the floor from prolonged water damage.  To rectify this problem, we utilized our French drain system alongside our triple safe sump pump solution. The French drain collects water along the perimeter of the wall and diverts it seamlessly into our revitalized drainage basin/ new sump pump. This particular sump pump solution includes 3 pumps total. A primary pump, a secondary in case the water inflow turns out to be overwhelming for the first, and a battery backup system to remain operational in times of power outages. 

A couple in Belleville, MI could no longer use their basement as a storage area because water kept leaking in. These homeowners wanted to put their stress on the back burner and have the ability to sell the house in the future if needed. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate of the repair.

Kenny, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home and took a look at the problem areas. He could see where the water was intruding throughout the basement and made a repair plan for the homeowners. Kenny suggested installing a WaterGuard® interior drainage system along with a new sump pump and discharge lines. This would allow the water leaking in to be redirected out and away from the home. The homeowners agreed to this plan and the repairs were later followed through by teams led by Jon and Travis. Once the concrete dried, the couple was happy to not worry about water in their home anymore.

Prolonged instances of water damage to walls can become a very unsightly problem, especially with drywall being prone to mold growth when water damaged. The first instance shows a situation where a homeowner wasn't sure of the source, but water was seeping into her basement along her walls, staining and damaging them. The second image however, shows our installed BrightWall system. BrightWall is a fully waterproof solution and creates a vapor barrier on the basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity, ensuring the homeowner won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. BrightWall provides a lively clean look to the space while it also directs water seepage into the perimeter drain. Quite an impressive difference in visual appeal and functionality! 

This homeowner was dealing with water pooling around his home and seeping into his basement, causing water damage, so he called HomeSpec to make it better.

Our team of experts decided that a interior French drain system with a sump pump would be the best solution. The drain will collect the water coming in and funnel it to the sump pump, which will then expel the water away from the home.

Our sump pump system is a powerful force with two pumps and a battery backup pump in case of power loss. The pumps can discharge thousands of gallons of water every hour, keeping the home safe and dry!

This Homeowner in Wayne, MI wanted their basement walls finished, so they called us out and we completed the project for them with the EverLast Wall Restoration System.
