The concrete walkway, driveway and porch around this customer's home were extremely cracked and uneven - causing a tripping hazard. The porch was also sinking and pulling away from the home. This problem was very unsightly so the homeowner finally decided to get it repaired, but he didn't want to do mudjacking. 

Our concrete experts used PolyLevel to permanently solve this homeowner's problem. As the soil under the concrete shrinks, settles, or washes away, it allows the slabs to sink - but our polyurethane foam fills in those gaps and lifts the slabs. The homeowner was worried about how the foam interacts with the environment, but we assured him it was completely safe (read more here).

A homeowner in Howell, MI was looking to remodel their basement and turn it into an extra room for the family to spend time in, before they could begin the renovations, they were experiencing water leaking through the block foundation wall that buckled a few years back. Needing to address this issue before they could begin working on the project, this homeowner searched for basement waterproofing services nearby, which led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix for this job. 

A Project Manager who was experienced in basement waterproofing solutions, was sent to Howell to provide a free detailed inspection of the basement and go over the homeowners concerns in more detail. Upon arriving at the property, the Project Manager proposed the use of a proper drainage system to address this waterproofing need with the WaterGuard solution. Upon recommending the system to the homeowners, the Project Manager had our customer care team schedule out an installation date for our crew. 

Traditional drainage systems are installed in an area that is prone to clogging; this “mud zone” is usually what causes the drain system to clog and then unsuccessfully drain the water into the sump pump and flood the basement. The WaterGuard Drainage System solves this homeowner's basement waterproofing problem by sitting on top of the foundation footing, preventing it from getting clogged and allowing the water to successfully drain into the sump pump. This french drain system is an ideal solution to basement waterproofing because the minimal invasion to the concrete slab is quick and easy to install with a lifetime warranty.

With the homeowners fears put to rest, they could begin their renovations with confidence knowing they had a permanent solution to their basement waterproofing problem.

A family in Howell, MI had been dealing with recurring basement water problems for years. Their home had experienced some settling over time, leading to water pooling in specific areas of the basement. The situation worsened during the winter months when melting snow and ice would seep through the concrete walls, leaving the basement constantly wet and causing the sump pump to run incessantly. Frustrated with the persistent issues, they decided it was time to seek assistance. This led them to reach out to us for a permanent solution that would resolve their basement waterproofing problems. 

After a thorough inspection, our Project Manager recommended they install the WaterGuard system to address the homeowners basement water issues. The WaterGuard system is an interior drainage system designed to capture water seepage and direct it away from the foundation, keeping the basement dry and safe. Its design allows it to sit on top of the foundation footing, preventing clogs and ensuring proper water drainage.

The first step in the installation process involved excavating a small trench around the perimeter of the basement's interior walls. Our crew carefully removed a strip of flooring to create space for the WaterGuard system. They ensured that the trench was sloped towards the sump pump, guaranteeing proper water flow. With the trench prepared, our crew proceeded to lay the drainage channel into the trench, ensuring a secure fit against the walls and connecting each of the sections as necessary. Our crew also had to make precise cuts and modifications to accommodate corners, columns, and other obstacles in their basement. Once the WaterGuard system was in place, our crew backfilled the trench with clean gravel to provide additional support and facilitate proper drainage. Then they replaced the flooring, leaving only a small gap to allow water to enter the WaterGuard system.

After completing the installation, the homeowners were finally free from the worries of a perpetually damp basement. The WaterGuard captured and redirected water away from the foundation, preventing further water damage and eliminating the need for constant sump pump operation.

A homeowner in Brighton, MI had recently purchased a home located in an area with a high water table, which caused the basement to leak every time it rained. Despite having an old drainage system in place, it was no longer effective in preventing water from leaking in. Desperate for a long-term solution, they reached out to us for assistance.

Upon inspecting the basement, our Project Manager confirmed the presence of water through floor cracks and determined that their existing drainage system was insufficient to address the problem. He recommended the installation of a comprehensive interior drainage system which involved the WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump and the SaniDry - Sedona to effectively redirect water away from the basement.

To begin the waterproofing process, our crew first prepared their basement by clearing out any obstructions and removing all the debris. They needed to ensure a clean and suitable work environment, allowing them to work efficiently and effectively. The next step involved installing the WaterGuard, an interior drainage system designed to sit on the footing of the foundation. Our crew carefully excavated a trench along the edges of the basement floor, keeping the dust and debris away from the hole. The WaterGuard system, with its specialized wall flanges to capture water from the walls, was then placed within the trench they had dug.

Given the high water table in the area, the TripleSafe sump pump system was the best solution for this homeowner. This sump pump has three powerful pumps working together to provide maximum protection against basement flooding. The primary pump handles the majority of the water, while the secondary pump serves as a backup in case of primary pump failure. Additionally, the third pump, equipped with a battery backup, ensures continued operation even during power outages, safeguarding the basement from water damage in any event. Finally, our crew turned their attention to address the excess humidity in the basement. The Sanidry - Sedona dehumidification system was perfect for this situation because it's specifically designed for basements and effectively controls and monitors humidity levels. 

This dehumidifier works well with the other basement waterproofing measures we installed by capturing excess moisture from the air, filtering out impurities, and continuously draining the collected water into the TripleSafe sump pump system for removal.

Once all the products were installed, our crew tested the systems to ensure they were properly functioning. They made sure to double check the WaterGuard drainage system for any leaks or blockages, while ensuring the TripleSafe and SaniDry were running at optimum levels.

The homeowners were relieved to no longer have to worry about water seeping through floor cracks or dealing with a damp and uncomfortable basement. Our full solution allowed them to regain their peace of mind and enjoy the basement.
