Dependable Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Repair Contractor Serving Manchester

Signs of a wet basement can be found throughout the home, even in the upper levels: musty smells, a decrease in air quality and energy efficiency, peeling or bubbling paint, buckling hardwood floors, and mold or mildew growth. Whether you have minimal water damage or a full-on flood, call HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to repair existing damage and install long-term solutions in your basement, such as:

  • Perimeter drainage systems
  • Doorway drainage systems
  • Waterproof wall and floor products
  • Wall and floor crack repairs
  • Replacement windows
  • Water heater flood protection
  • Frozen discharge line prevention
  • And more!

Crawl spaces that are damaged or improperly constructed can also leave your home vulnerable to moisture damage, high energy bills, and pest infestations. Without adequate structural support, some crawl spaces can even sink and cause shifting floors and walls in the upper levels of your home. HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair addresses and corrects damaged, ill-fitting crawl spaces across Manchester with the following services:

  • Crawl Space Insulation
  • Crawl Space Drainage
  • Crawl Space Encapsulation
  • Crawl Space Structural Repair

Expert Foundation Repair, Concrete Repair, & Concrete Leveling Services in Manchester

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 Washtenaw 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 Manchester, MI
Tree Trunks Used As Basement Support Posts in Manchester, MI

This concerned homeowner in Manchester, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec because the floors above their basement were sagging. But the issue was that tree trunks were being used as support posts in the basement – which are not sturdy or reliable – which is what was causing the sagging. 

HomeSpec has seen this issue before in older homes so it's not as rare as you think! To solve the problem, the tree trunks were removed and SmartJack Support Posts replaced them. The SmartJack posts are much more sturdy and reliable, and they were able to lift and level the floors above. They not only stabilized the structure, but they will also prevent future sagging!

Air Quality Issues from Crawl Space in Manchester, MI

50% of the air in a home comes up from the crawl space. So if there's high humidity in the crawl space, there's high humidity in the rest of the home. If there's cold air in the crawl space, there's cold air moving through the rest of the home. If there's mold in the crawl space, there's mold spores in the rest of the home. Whether you like it or not, you're breathing crawl space air. That's the problem this Manchester homeowner was facing when he decided to call HomeSpec. 

This homeowner had all of the usual problems in his home: musty smells, aggravated allergies, humid summers, cold floors in the winter. Only, he didn't know his crawl space was to blame. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the crawl space was vented and allowing in air and water. The dirt floors allowed water vapor in. There was mold on the joists and the insulation was in poor condition as a result. So this homeowner decided to have HomeSpec encapsulate the crawl space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier. To encapsulate means to "enclose" something, which is what we do to the crawl space. It's completely sealed off from the outside so that nothing can pass through. A dehumidifier and sump pump control the water in the ground and the moisture in the air to keep it dry. 

Sump Pump Installed into Wet Basement in Manchester, MI

These homeowners dealt with a wet basement for a very long time. As soon as they moved into their home, they were finding water downstairs. The sump pump that was installed barely worked, and they desperately needed a new one - it couldn't be put off any longer. That's when they called HomeSpec.

One of our project managers went out to the home to inspect the problem. He discovered that the sump pump was simply too old and unreliable to handle the high amounts of water. This basement needed something to properly drain the water away from the home to prevent flooding - so a TripleSafe sump pump was recommended. There's 3 pumps for 3 levels of protection - including one battery-operated pump in case there's a loss of power. For the first time since moving into their home years ago, these homeowners can finally rest assured that there's no water in their basement. 

Basement Waterproofed in Manchester, MI

These homeowners contacted us because their basement was damp and needed to be waterproofed. They were also having issues with the floor above their crawl space. 

To solve these problems, HomeSpec installed an interior drainage system around the perimeter of the basement and encapsulated the crawl space to keep everything dry and clean.
