A Saline, MI couple moved into their home in the early 2000s. Since then, water has entered their garage and basement repeatedly. Their home had been flooded three times in the last year alone. While it never bothered them much before because the basement was being used as storage, the time had come to look into repairs. They anticipated moving into a retirement home in the future and wanted the home to be able to sell for the best value as well as ensure the next homeowners had nothing to worry about. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection.
The project manager, Yann, explored the areas the couple was concerned with as well as the outside of the house to ensure an accurate inspection and proposal. He explained honestly that there was a handful of products to waterproof their home such as an interior drainage system. It would be comprised of pipes like WaterGuard® and TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe which would then connect to a sump pump, and sump discharge, which could benefit from freeze prevention products. Other repairs recommended throughout the property included Mold-X2, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and downspout extensions. The couple was prepared and allowed HomeSpec to use all of these repairs. The crews were led by foremen Brandon and Marshall. The homeowners were happy with their completed work and newly dry basement.
Wet basements are not fun for anyone - water can damage furniture and belongings stored downstairs, mold can grow and cause health problems, and homeowners can waste a lot time and money cleaning it up. If water is constantly seeping into a basement, it can eventually flood severely. A homeowner in Ecorse, Michigan dealt with a wet basement for many years, and after a serious flood finally decided to install a full waterproofing system.
After a thorough inspection and many conversations with the homeowner about his needs, the project manager proposed a solution. That solution included a perimeter drainage system, sump pump, and vapor barrier.
The drainage system + sump pump is integral to waterproof a basement. They prevent water from flooding into the basement by collecting it first then funneling it away from the home. The vapor barrier prevents moisture and water vapor from entering through the walls, and instead directs it down to the drain. It also covers the unsightly stains on the concrete wall.
The homeowner is very satisficed with his newly dry basement, and he's thankful he doesn't have to stress about it anymore.
This Homeowner in Wayne, MI wanted their basement walls finished, so they called us out and we completed the project for them with the EverLast Wall Restoration System.
This homeowner wanted to have their basement waterproofed in Ypsilanti, MI.
We started by clearing out debris and then our crew installed the CleanSpace Wall. This Wall is made from layers of patented technology which help insulate the basement and keep moisture out. These homeowners were pleased to have a dry, protected basement.
This Family was experiencing water damage to their home and reached out to have us install the WaterGuard Drainage System as well as the SuperSump Plus. The WaterGuard is a perfect solution for this family because of its anti-clogging design as well as its ability to sit on the perimeter, leaving this Family with a pleasant looking basement.
