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.

A Grosse Pointe Woods homeowner was aware that their basement had been waterproofed in the past but was unaware that the company they used had not fixed all of the problems. It wasn’t until the basement began leaking water again that this homeowner learned they needed help once again. This time, they called HomeSpec.


HomeSpec had one of their inspectors, Erik, go out to the house to investigate. The homeowner was informed that the basement did not have a sump pump, like the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, or a sump pump drainage system. Erik recommended these solutions, as well as other waterproofing options, and the homeowner approved them. A crew, led by foreman Vernon, later came out to the home for installation. The homeowner now has a dry basement and an aesthetically pleasing yard!

A Grosse Pointe Woods, MI home had begun to show signs of settlement. Some of these signs include clear sinking from the front of the house as well as horizontal cracks and bowing along the basement walls. The homeowner wanted to address these issues before anything got worse, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. Keith, a senior project manager, went to the house for an inspection and to discuss the homeowner's concerns.


Together, they devised a plan to install helical piers to lift the foundation back to its original level and CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to secure the bowing wall. When the foreman, Ryan, and his crew arrived for the installations, the homeowner asked if it was possible to add on more repairs. After more discussion and confirming the budget the homeowner was comfortable with, the plan was to add an interior drainage system to the basement floors and a vapor barrier made of CleanSpace® for the walls. Because there were many parts to this plan, multiple teams were involved to ensure everything flowed smoothly. The other foremen who brought this homeowner’s vision to life were Eleftherios, Josh, and Rick. Once everything was complete, the homeowner was happy with their stabilized foundation and waterproof basement.

Expert Foundation Repair, Concrete Repair, & Concrete Leveling Services in Grosse Pointe

A damaged foundation can’t properly support your home and should be addressed at the first sign of trouble: bowing walls, cracked walls or floors, tilted chimneys, sloping floors, and pooling water, just to name a few. While foundation problems are an unavoidable part of homeownership, we want to make the repair process as stress-free as possible for you. Our team of highly trained foundation repair experts will safely restore the strength of your home’s foundation with our proven effective solutions:

  • Foundation piers - to stabilize your foundation against settlement with minimal disturbance to your home. Comes with a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
  • Foundation wall repair - to fix cracks, correct bowing or tilting walls, and add reliable support to keep your foundation walls stable.
  • Crawl space support posts - using the SmartJack® crawl space support system to provide support for sagging/undersized beams, restore stability, and correct sagging floor joists.

HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair also offers complete concrete repair services that restore and protect concrete inside and outside of your Wayne County home, including concrete driveways and sidewalks. Homeowners can benefit from our innovative concrete sealant that permanently bonds with one application to protect against UV rays and moisture for long-lasting protection on new and old concrete. If you have sloping concrete floors in your home, we will restore them with the PolyLevel concrete leveling system, a faster and longer-lasting alternative to mudjacking. PolyLevel cures in as little as 24 hours, adds very little weight as it lifts, and is far less messy than traditional mudjacking, making it ideal to use on interior slabs.

Job Stories From Grosse Pointe, MI
Grosse Pointe Woods Home Has Waterproofing Fixed By HomeSpec

A home in Grosse Pointe Woods has been owned by a family since 1995. It had been waterproofed before and had an interior drainage system installed in 2011. However, they never worked underneath the staircase in the basement or had a sump pump installed. These proved to be problematic for the homeowner when water began leaking again. Knowing they would be moving in a few weeks, they wanted to make sure it would not be an issue for the next tenant. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to get a free estimate.

 

HomeSpec sent their inspector, Erik, to evaluate the damages and come up with solutions. The first step was to install a sump pump, specifically TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This would connect to a new interior drainage system made of WaterGuard®, and a sump discharge line. This combination is a HomeSpec specialty that ensures the basement stays dry and water leads away from the home. The homeowner approved of these suggestions and scheduled with HomeSpec to begin the work.

 

Foreman Vernon led the crew in waterproofing the basement. They dug a hole in one corner of the concrete as a space for the sump pump and trenches along the base of the walls for the interior drainage system. They also connected the sump discharge line through a wall so it would drain far into the yard outside. This line was buried so it was neither a tripping hazard nor an eyesore. With the work complete, the basement remains dry, clean, and visually appealing!

Homeowners Foundation Support Worries Cleared with Helical Pier Support System in Grosse Pointe Park, MI

Foundation support problems can be a nuisance to deal with, the sloping floors; cracks in the walls, doors not opening or closing properly all affect how a homeowner sees their home and sticks with them. When this Homeowner in Grosse Pointe Park, MI was beginning to experience these side effects, they reached out to their neighbors for a possible solution to their problem. That's when HomeSpec BasementFix was recommended, by a neighbor who recently had basement waterproofing done, as the best fit for this project. 

In order to better address this homeowners' concerns, Mark, one of our Project Managers, was sent to provide a detailed inspection of the home. During the inspection, Mark noted how the floors were sloping in one direction and the walls were showing signs of cracks. This is what led him to recommend the Helical Pier Support System to permanently fix this homeowners sinking foundation. 

The Helical Pier Support System solves the underlying issue of foundation settlement by utilizing the helical plates welded to the shaft of the pier. These plates act as a screw, digging deep into newer load bearing soils that wont shift or settle over time. Once the foundation is lifted back to its original height, the homeowners fears of it sinking again can be put to rest. 

Happy that HomeSpec BasementFix was able to restore their peace of mind, this homeowner welcomed the referral discount and thanked their neighbor for the recommendation.

Grosse Pointe Farms, MI Basement Completely Destroyed After Water Damage

These Grosse Pointe Farms homeowners reached out to HomeSpec after something devastating happened – a city sewer backup caused their basement to flood and everything down there was destroyed. All paneling and carpet had to be torn up and thrown away. After the summer floods, this unfortunately happened to many families in Metro Detroit. 

The homeowners were interested in waterproof flooring and wall products to prevent the devastating damage and costly repairs from occurring again. This is why HomeSpec installed our Everlast™ Finished Wall Restoration System – this replaces the bottom half of a finished wall. It is made of inorganic materials making it waterproof and difficult for water to damage. It even adds insulation to the basement while providing a timeless look!

Next, our ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring was installed – these are faux-wood planks made of waterproof inorganic materials making the floor water and mold-resistant! These pair perfectly with the wall product to create a beautiful, waterproofed basement!
