Before and After
  • Sump Pump Installed in Grosse Pointe Woods
    Before
    Sump Pump Installed in Grosse Pointe Woods
    After

    This home in Grosse Pointe Woods had previously been waterproofed by another company, but they did not have a sump pump installed. As time went on, the homeowner noticed water leaking into the basement again and knew that HomeSpec was the best option to fix everything. HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, advised that a sump pump as well as a sump pump discharge system would address all of the homeowner’s concerns.


    Once approved, HomeSpec’s crew, led by foreman Vernon, came out to the house to install the sump pump and other waterproofing materials. In this case, they used a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. It now sits comfortably out of the way in one corner of the basement.

  • Trenton, MI Leaking Basement Fix Includes New Sump Pump
    Before
    Trenton, MI Leaking Basement Fix Includes New Sump Pump
    After

    A couple in Trenton, MI noticed that water was coming through a crack in the basement consistently. They planned on being in the home for a long time and did not want to constantly worry about their health or fixing damage caused by the water. They decided to reach out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see how much the repairs would cost. Because they are the homeowners, the inspection would be free.


    Elon, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home and evaluated both the interior and exterior. He was able to see where the water was coming from and come up with a repair plan. He worked with the homeowners to come up with a plan that they approved of. Together, they decided to fix the crack using high pressure urethane injections, meaning the space behind the crack would be filled so water could no longer leak through. They also decided to waterproof the basement using special WaterGuard® french drains that would connect to a new sump pump. This plan was made a reality by two HomeSpec teams led by Brandon and Domonique. The homeowners were very happy with their work!

  • Black Mold Discovery Leads to Basement Waterproofing in La Salle, MI
    Before
    Black Mold Discovery Leads to Basement Waterproofing in La Salle, MI
    After

    This customer purchased a home from their grandfather a year ago with the plans of living there for a long time. In the excitement of renovating the home to include a man cave and a mudroom, the homeowner and their partner found black mold in the basement. In the year of living in their new home, their allergies had worsened and illness became apparent. The couple reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to not only get rid of the mold but also keep it away.


    One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Elon, visited the home to provide a free inspection. He did a thorough assessment before returning to the homeowners to discuss a plan to repair their basement. Elon recommended first applying Mold-X2 and then moving on to the waterproofing efforts. This included installing an interior drainage system featuring WaterGuard® French drains, a new sump pump, a new sump pump discharge, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The couple agreed to this repair plan and scheduled a HomeSpec crew to move forward. The crew was led by a foreman named Vernon and any plumbing concerns were addressed by Rick. The homeowners were happy with the final results, being mold-free and protected from future water intrusions.

  • Basement Professionally Waterproofed in Detroit, MI
    Before
    Basement Professionally Waterproofed in Detroit, MI
    After

    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. 

  • Flooded Commercial Building Basement Waterproofed in Detroit, MI
    Before
    Flooded Commercial Building Basement Waterproofed in Detroit, MI
    After

    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.

TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System
Triple Safe™

The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!

The ⅓ hp primary pump can discharge 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head, while the ½ hp secondary pump can discharge as much as 3,900 additional gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head. In the case of a tripped circuit, power outage, or sump failure, your TripleSafe™'s UltraSump® Battery Backup System will kick in. A second battery can be hooked up to a single system for an even longer running time. All told, this system provides the ultimate protection for homeowners who have had issues with water in their basement.

SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System
SuperSump®

For an effective and more economical solution, consider our SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump® can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!

If you have had occasional water issues but not a severe flood, the SuperSump® may be the ideal option for your home. This complete system provides total protection, and like all of our sump pump systems, works perfectly with our drainage systems.

SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump System
SmartSump™

If you're looking for a crawl space sump pump installation, the SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump System is the ideal option. The SmartSump™ is specifically designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods. The SmartSump™ comes equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller® primary pump with the option of adding an UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump. This sump pump is designed to fit with the CleanSpace® liner and has a sump alarm to ensure you are always aware of any water in your crawl space.

The SmartSump™ system comes with a reliable Zoeller® 1/3 horsepower sump pump capable of pumping 2,500 gallons per hour at a 5-foot head. This system is designed to fit with our crawl space encapsulation system, ensuring that you have a completely dry, clean crawl space.

UltraSump® Battery Backup System
Battery Backup

Of course, in many cases water issues in the basement are caused by severe weather that can knock out power. With that in mind, we created the UltraSump® Battery Backup System to ensure continued protection no matter what happens. In the event of loss of power the battery backup will automatically kick in and begin removing water from your basement, preventing a flood. The UltraSump® system can pump out in excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery, which is enough water to fill a small swimming pool!

The battery backup also comes with an alarm to alert you in case of power failure, sounding when the backup pump is running and silencing when power is restored. This alarm also protects you in case the main system is accidently unplugged, which could otherwise leave your basement unprotected. The UltraSump® can outlast generic backup pumps many times over, and an additional battery can be attached for further protection.

These key additional features will provide you with total peace of mind

Learn what makes our sump pumps the superior choice in this product comparison video.

Our sump pump systems include the following features:

  • WaterWatch® Alarm: Sounds off to let you know if water has risen past the point where the pumps should have turned on.
  • SuperLiner Sump Liner: Large enough to keep your sump pump working properly without turning on and off repeatedly, but not so large that your liner goes too deep, making your sump pump wear out prematurely as it pumps out unnecessary water.
  • Airtight Sump Lid: An airtight lid keeps odors and humidity out while protecting your sump from debris from the basement floor. Rubber grommets around all pipes and wires help maintain the airtight lid and also help to keep all PVC pipes steady and quiet.
  • CleanPump Stands: These sump pump stands are installed to raise the pumps off of the bottom of the liner. Any silt or sediment that settles on the bottom of your sump pit will be kept away from your pump. These stands also allow for height adjustment of the pump if necessary.
  • IceGuard® Discharge Line Protection: Many sump pump discharge lines are susceptible to freezing during the cold winter months. Our IceGuard® discharge line protector is the solution to this problem! This specifically designed grated adapter is located outside where the discharge line exits the house. If the pipe underground freezes in the winter, water can still be pumped out without the worry of backups into your basement!
    *Note: The IceGuard® does not come standard with our sump pump systems.

Sump pumps should always be installed with a perimeter drain system to ensure that all water is drained to the sump pit and removed from the basement.
