Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Westland, MI found a leak in the corner of their basement. They noticed that they would regularly encounter water entering their home during heavy rains. It became clear that they needed to control the water before the damage was irreparable. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection to see what could be done.

Sidney, one of HomeSpec’s inspection managers, visited the residence and spoke with the owner. They reviewed their concerns and Sideny proceeded to investigate the basement. He saw where water was intruding as described but also noted additional areas. Sidney proposed that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to install an interior drainage system using WaterGuard®. The IDS would line each wall and connect to a sump pump and discharge line. With this system in place, any water that was on its way into the home would be captured, escorted to the sump pump, and then discharged away from the house. The homeowner agreed to this plan and it was brought to life. The crew that installed this project was led by a foreman named Michael. Their completed work met the homeowner’s goals and prevented further damage.

Prolonged instances of water damage to walls can become a very unsightly problem, especially with drywall being prone to mold growth when water damaged. The first instance shows a situation where a homeowner wasn't sure of the source, but water was seeping into her basement along her walls, staining and damaging them. The second image however, shows our installed BrightWall system. BrightWall is a fully waterproof solution and creates a vapor barrier on the basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity, ensuring the homeowner won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. BrightWall provides a lively clean look to the space while it also directs water seepage into the perimeter drain. Quite an impressive difference in visual appeal and functionality! 

A homeowner that was experiencing a persistent leak in their basement every time it rained reached out to us in order to help them solve their problem. When we arrived, we noticed the size of the crack and recommended they have it filled with high powered urethane crack injection in order to stop the leak as well as prevent the crack from opening again in the future. 

Our team installed an egress window to replace an existing basement window.
