Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Extended Discharge Line Keeps Water Away from Basement in Dearborn, MI
A homeowner in Dearborn, MI contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair because of crumbling basement walls. They suspected the block foundation was being impacted by water damage. After explaining their concerns, a call center representative helped schedule a free inspection with one of HomeSpec’s project managers, Bill.
On the day of the appointment, Bill met with the homeowner and examined the problem as a whole. After careful consideration, Bill and the homeowner finalized a repair plan together. The best solution would be to direct the water away from the foundation. They could accomplish this goal with an exterior drainage line and downspout extension combination. The homeowner then scheduled a time for the repair plan to be enacted. A crew led by Michael, a foreman, was able to complete the project in one day.
