Affordable Wet Basement & Structural Repair in Macomb

A concerned homeowner in Macomb, MI was starting to notice that the cracks in their basement floor were getting bigger and more jagged with each passing day. This was becoming a safety hazard for their family as their child had already injured themselves on one of the jagged edges. The homeowner knew that they needed to take action and find a solution to this problem before it got any worse. This led the homeowner to reach out to us at HomeSpec BasementFix for help.

Once we had assigned a Project Manager to assess the home and provide a solution to the family’s problem, the Project Manager was sent to the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. He found that some of the cracks in the floor were not only growing but also leaking water, which was causing additional damage to the foundation walls. The Project Manager proposed a custom solution that involved the installation of the WaterGuard Drainage System to drain the water, High Powered Urethane Crack Injection to seal the cracks, and the Carbon Fiber Power Grid to prevent further damage to the basement walls.

On the day of the installation, our crew arrived at the homeowner's house on time and began by preparing the area for the installation. They first used a jackhammer to remove a section of the basement floor around the perimeter of the basement walls, creating a trench for the WaterGuard Drainage System to rest in. The WaterGuard is specifically designed to catch any water that may seep into the basement and direct it to a sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Next, the High Powered Urethane Crack Injection was used to fill the cracks in the basement floor. Our crew used a special high-pressure injection gun to force the urethane foam into the cracks, sealing them from the inside out. The foam expands and hardens, creating a waterproof seal that prevents any water from seeping through the cracks. Finally, the Carbon Fiber Power Grid was installed to reinforce the basement walls and prevent further damage. The grid was cut to size and placed onto the walls, then secured with an epoxy adhesive. The carbon fiber is incredibly strong and is designed to prevent any further cracking or bowing of the walls. Once the installation was complete, the crew cleaned up the work area, leaving the basement looking cleaner than when they arrived. Our Project Manager conducted a final inspection of the work, ensuring that everything was done to the highest standards.

The homeowner was more than happy to experience the benefits of the installation firsthand. They were impressed with how efficiently the crew worked, and they appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of the Project Manager. Most importantly, the homeowner was happy to have a safe and dry basement that their child could play in.

This homeowner was referred to us by his grandmother because she was so happy with the work we did for her. He contacted HomeSpec because his basement was flooding after heavy rain even with a sump pump.

Our crew replaced the sump pump with our powerful Zoeller pump in their existing basin to prevent the basement from flooding again. 

This homeowner's parents built her home in 1998, but in recent years she has been struggling with constant water problems in the basement. 

Our crew sealed all of the cracks and rod holes in the foundation that were leaking, and stabilized the walls to prevent any more water issues. 

A homeowner contacted us about an uneven driveway so our crew leveled it to match the nearby sidewalk by injecting polyurethane. This raised and stabilized the concrete surface.

A homeowner contacted us because water was getting inside his basement when it rained heavily.

Our team found a crack that was leaking, so we injected it with polyurethane. This will stop water from leaking from the crack.
