Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Exterior Waterproofing Protects Office Building Basement in Hamburg, MI

An office building in Hamburg, MI was bought by a married couple six years. They had been renting the space for years for a childcare business. Now that it was officially theirs, they wanted to maintain it properly. This meant addressing the water leaking into the basement during heavy rains. While the childcare business was away from the leaky basement, the couple did not want to worry about the health concerns and other issues associated with moisture. They were also concerned about the structural integrity. They contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.   Mark, a senior project manager, was scheduled to conduct the inspection. He met with the owners and discussed their worries at length. Mark evaluated both inside and outside the building to get a complete understanding of the situation. He deduced that the wall behind the A/C condensers and transformer was the source of water leaking into the basement and causing damage. Mark proposed a repair plan consisting of exterior waterproofing, an exterior discharge line, and a dry well basin. This combination would protect the wall and escort water that gathers in the area to the basin. The building owners agreed to the plan and scheduled a HomeSpec crew out for the repairs.
