Wet basements are not fun for anyone - water can damage furniture and belongings stored downstairs, mold can grow and cause health problems, and homeowners can waste a lot time and money cleaning it up. If water is constantly seeping into a basement, it can eventually flood severely. A homeowner in Ecorse, Michigan dealt with a wet basement for many years, and after a serious flood finally decided to install a full waterproofing system. 

After a thorough inspection and many conversations with the homeowner about his needs, the project manager proposed a solution. That solution included a perimeter drainage system, sump pump, and vapor barrier. 

The drainage system + sump pump is integral to waterproof a basement. They prevent water from flooding into the basement by collecting it first then funneling it away from the home. The vapor barrier prevents moisture and water vapor from entering through the walls, and instead directs it down to the drain. It also covers the unsightly stains on the concrete wall. 

The homeowner is very satisficed with his newly dry basement, and he's thankful he doesn't have to stress about it anymore.

Job Stories From Ecorse, MI
Homeowner in Ecorse, MI has Basement Renovation Plans saved By Installing WaterGuard Drainage System and UltraSump Sump Pump

A homeowner in Ecorse, MI had  been dreaming of transforming their unfinished basement into a cozy space for their family to enjoy. However, their plans were put on hold when they discovered puddles of water leaking into the basement, which had caused them concerns about the safety and health hazards that could come with it if left untreated. They knew they needed to address this issue before they could move forward with their renovation plans, and this is what led them to reach out to us so we could help solve their waterproofing needs. 

Our Project Manager was sent to their home to assess the property and determine the root cause of the water leakage. After inspecting the basement, the Project Manager found that there were several cracks along the wall that converged where the floor meets the wall, causing water to seep through the foundation and into the basement. The Project Manager knew that this was a serious issue that required immediate attention, that's why they recommended the homeowner install the WaterGuard Drainage System and the UltraSump Sump Pump to dispel the water and allow them to resume their renovations as soon as possible. The WaterGuard Drainage System is a patented interior basement waterproofing system that is designed to collect water that seeps through basement walls and drain it into the sump pump system. The UltraSump is a sump pump system that is designed to work well with the WaterGuard and carry water away from the foundation and prevent further damage to the basement.

The first step for our crew was to remove the concrete along the perimeter of the basement to create a trench. The WaterGuard System is specifically made to sit on top of the foundation footing and collect water that seeps through the walls. The System has a built-in wall flange that extends up the basement wall, capturing any water that leaks out. Once the WaterGuard System is installed, the next step for our crew is to install the UltraSump. The UltraSump is a powerful sump pump system that is capable of pumping up to 2,200 gallons of water per hour, ensuring that the basement stays dry even during heavy rainfall. Once both systems were installed and hooked up to each other, our crew replaced the concrete along the perimeter of the basement, ensuring that the installation was seamless and did not disrupt the homeowner's plans for their basement renovation.

In the end, the homeowner was relieved to know that their basement was now protected from water damage. With the WaterGuard Drainage System and UltraSump in place, the homeowner was now able to move forward with their basement renovation plans, knowing that their space was protected and safe from any hazards that could arise from water damage.

Failing Support System in Crawl Space Solved with SmartJack Support System in Ecorse, MI

A homeowner recently converted their home and had decided to make additions in order to raise the property value and improve their living space. While working on these additions, they became increasingly concerned that the amount of work done to the home was causing the supports to fail. After doing some research into foundation support systems, this homeowner began to search for the best foundation repair companies near Ecorse, MI. This led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix as the best fit for their needs.

AJ, a Project Manager, who also has related experience in crawl space foundation repair, was sent to Ecorse to discuss the homeowners concerns in more detail while also providing an inspection, free of charge. While explaining the renovations, it was brought to the Project Managers attention that the support posts were cracked and in need of repair, as well as the foundation showing signs of cracking due to the failing cinder block supports. Traditional support posts are prone to failure over time, especially with the addition of newer concrete adding extra weight to the support system. This is because traditional supports are sometimes incorrectly spaced along the beams, thereby making them unable to distribute the weight evenly and causing the cinder blocks to crack. They are also subject to pest damage and humid conditions can speed up the process of them failing. This is what led AJ to propose a permanent solution that involved installing the SmartJack Support System in order to bring the structural integrity back to its original condition. 

The SmartJack Support System was ideal for this crawl space repair service because of its ability to support loads over 60,000 lbs. ensured the extra weight from this homeowner's additions would not cause stress on the crawl space support jacks. SmartJack is installed on a base of engineered fill in order to prevent the support jacks from sinking into the ground or shifting unnecessarily, which could potentially cause future problems for the homeowner. Due to its permanent nature, SmartJack is adjustable year-round to meet the needs of the home over time and help the homeowner retain their peace of mind when it comes to making renovations.

With the crawl space foundation repair successfully completed, and this homeowners fears of a failing support system put to rest, they were impressed with the work done by our team and were happy to recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to friends and family in need of foundation repair services.

Crawl Space Foundation Repair Solved with SmartJack Support System in Ecorse, MI
 
Two homeowners recently purchased a home in Ecorse, MI and had big plans to do renovations; their plans were stalled to a halt when they began to feel how uncomfortable the sagging floors were. Wanting to address the problem and prevent further problems from compounding, they began to search for foundation repair nearby. This led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix for this foundation repair job.

Ben, an Experienced Project Manager, was called out to Ecorse to provide a free inspection and discuss the problems with the homeowners in more detail. After inspecting the foundation, Ben explained that there seemed to be an issue with the crawl space support posts which could be caused by them sinking into the soil below or even mold or pest damage. Traditional wooden support posts are prone to woodrot, which over time, causes them to lose their ability to support the weight of the floors. After informing the homeowner of their current situation, Ben recommended a SmartJack Support System to raise the floors back so they could begin the renovations to their new home.

The first thing that needed to be done in this crawl space foundation repair was to clear out the debris from the crawl space and create a safe working environment for our crew. After the crawl space had been cleared, the next step was to replace the old wooden supports with the SmartJack Support System. This is done by digging out a base of engineered fill for the crawl space support jacks to prevent them from sinking into the soil. Once the base is filled, the SmartJack is installed and adjusted to the correct height in order to raise the floors back to level. The galvanized steel beams resist corrosion, mold, and pest damage while also being able to adjust year-round to meet the homeowners needs over time. This solution was ideal for these homeowners because the SmartJack Support System is a permanent solution for their crawl space support needs.

With the new homeowners excited to have the floors level again, they were more than happy to recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to neighbors in need of crawl space repair and begin renovations to the home.
