Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Romulus, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after buying a home with apparent water damage in the basement. The walls were water damaged and stained severely because water was seeping in at the base of the wall. 

HomeSpec tackled this issue by installing a vapor barrier over the bottom of the wall to hide the unsightly stains and to direct the water leaking in down into a WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. This system collects the water and deposits it into the TripleSafe Sump Pump to be funneled away from the foundation. All three of these work together seamlessly to keep the basement dry and looking great!

In Livonia, MI, a homeowner saw that was was leaking in a corner of their unfinished basement. After living in the home for 20 years, they were considering selling in the future. Regardless if they stayed or sold, they knew that this water leak needed to be addressed. After some looking around, the homeowner found HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. HomeSpec sent their senior project manager, Erik, to do an inspection.

After some careful thought, Erik suggested an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® and connecting it to discharge to the storm cleanout. This system would effectively catch any water from a poured foundation such as this one and dispel it, keeping the basement dry. The homeowner liked this plan and moved forward with the repairs. HomeSpec sent their plumber, Rick, and foreman, Josh, to lead the work. The homeowner was satisfied with the work and service from HomeSpec and left a positive review!

A home in Livonia, MI was experiencing leaks throughout their basement, which included the bathroom. The homeowners were irritated with the constant water intrusion and did not want to worry about these issues any longer. This was especially concerning because their basement was finished with drywall and epoxy floors. They moved into the home in 1987 and had no intentions of moving in the future so it was important to them to take care of the house. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection.

A project manager, Jeremiah, went out to the home and took a look both inside and outside. It was important for him to have a full understanding of the situation so he could provide an accurate repair plan. Jeremiah proposed installing waterproofing products to capture the water and remove it from the home. This would be done using a WaterGuard® interior drainage system that connects to a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. He also suggested installing the waterproof basement finishing products Everlast Wall Restoration System and ThermalDry® Floor Tiles to maintain the finished aesthetic. The homeowners approved of this plan and chose the sandstone color option for the tiles. Due to the scope of the work multiple crews were required to install everything in a timely manner. The crews were led by Jon D. and Jon L. with additional help from Brian and Rick. After the project was completed the homeowners were happy with the results both in terms of efficiency and appearance.

Ken H. in Farmington Hills, Michigan called HomeSpec needing a permanent repair for his wet basement woes. Water would seep in after rain, then Ken would grab the towels and the floor fans to dry up the puddles every time. Him and his wife just had a baby, so dealing with a leaking basement was the last thing they wanted to do. Ken was finally ready to retire the floor fans, so Project Manager Josh McKeith developed a custom repair plan. 

Foreman Jon Davis and his crew got to work waterproofing the basement. They installed a WaterGuard Below Floor Drain around the perimeter of the basement (also known as a French Drain), and connected it to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. Crack Technician Domonique Price sealed and waterproofed the cracks in the foundation walls. 

Ken and his wife can now enjoy their time as new parents without having to worry about pesky water seeping into their dry basement!
