Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This family in Ann Arbor, MI was experiencing a leaking basement and wanted to have their basement waterproofed by us. The leaky basement was causing mold to grow and they wanted to address their health concerns.

A sump pump was installed in a home that had a water issue when it rained. The problem had persisted for years, so we installed an interior drainage system. 

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI who had been experiencing persistent water damage in their basement had called us out to install the WaterGuard Drainage System in order to stem the leaks as well as provide security and peace of mind when they spend time in the basement. 

These homeowners contacted HomeSpec because they were suffering from a wet basement in their old Detroit home. They had made attempts to fix the drainage, but everything failed. Water was seeping through the block foundation walls after heavy rain, causing the paint on the walls to peel. The floors would also be damp. The basement was in bad shape and the homeowners didn't want to stress about any longer. 

Our team solved this problem by completely waterproofing the basement with an interior drainage system, vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and two new sump pumps. The vapor barrier over the walls will prevent water vapor and moisture from entering the basement and instead direct it down to the drainage system. After the water drains into the drainage system, it'll be directed toward the sump pump and expelled away from the home, preventing water issues. 

This commercial building in Detroit was suffering from an extremely wet basement, as you can see from the photos. The basement flooded after an old sump pump went out, so the owners called HomeSpec for help. 

Project Manager Bobby Whitus came up with a repair plan that addresses all aspects of this problem. Foreman Jon Davis and his crew installed a WaterGuard Interior Drainage System connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system collects the water and deposits it into the sump pump, where there's 3 levels of pumps for triple the protection. This then pumps the water away from the foundation. 

Our crew then installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal the walls off from moisture, and instead directs it down into the drainage system.
