Foundation Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Protect Richmond, MI Home's Integrity

A homeowner in Richmond, MI, originally reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help with water coming into the basement where the floor meets the wall. They were using the basement as a storage space and wanted to protect both the home and their belongings. One of HomeSpec’s project managers visited the home to assess the condition. Unfortunately, it was worse than the homeowner anticipated.   While analyzing the basement for water leakage, the project manager also noted the extensive cracks and voids in the foundation walls. While preventing water from entering the basement was still a priority, the project manager emphasized the importance of stabilizing the foundation. If the walls continued to shift, water could continue to invade. Not only this, but the more walls continue to shift, the risk increases that they could collapse.  The project manager recommended installing a combination of the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System and the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System to secure the walls. They also proposed installing a WaterGuard® interior drainage system that would connect to a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. The final part of the repair plan would be to install CleanSpace®, a mold-resistant vapor barrier. This combination would protect the walls and floor from further water damage by capturing the water and discharging it away from the home. The homeowner agreed to this full coverage plan and scheduled a HomeSpec crew to see it to completion. They were happy with the finished results, a dry, stable, and usable basement.
