Before & After Photos

A Milford, MI homeowner was experiencing water in their basement during heavy rains. They had also noticed cracking in the foundation walls. They had been in the home for nearly ten years and wanted to ensure it was taken care of if they decided to sell in the future. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to inquire about a free inspection. After speaking with the call center team, they scheduled an appointment with a senior project manager named Erik. 

Erik visited the home and investigated where the water was entering from as well as any possible structural issues. After a thorough analysis, he returned to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan that fit their needs. Erik suggested installing an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® as well as installing a new basin. The homeowner agreed to this plan and a team was scheduled out to complete the work. 

This Michigan home had a very unique feature - a long window well along one entire side of their basement with a timber retaining wall. It was a beautiful feature and allowed for a large window in the basement bedroom that let in tons of natural light. But it came with a big problem: WATER. 

There was a high amount of water under the home and water would pool in the window well especially after heavy rain, so water was seeping into the basement. There was no interior drainage system to prevent this and only one sump pump on the other side of the large basement. There was also not proper drainage in the window well. These circumstances all led to a big headache for the homeowners and their finished basement. 

But our crew promptly solved this issue by installing an interior drainage system along the section of the basement that borders the window well, as well as installing exterior drainage in the window well. We also installed two brand new TripleSafe sump pumps to handle the high levels of water. To finish it off, we installed our Everlast™ Finished Wall Restoration System. These inorganic, mold-resistant wall panels replace the bottom 3 feet of the wall. This prevents the finished basement walls from becoming damaged by water while giving an appealing finished appearance to the room. 

This long-lasting solution will keep this finished basement dry and looking great for years to come, and the homeowners are very pleased! 

Like many people, these homeowners were plagued by a wet, humid basement. They had leaking cracks and rod holes that needed repairing as well. Many belongings were stored in their basement so they needed a reliable, permanent solution to fix their problem. That's where HomeSpec came in to save the day!

The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed to waterproof the basement. This was connected to a brand new TripleSafe sump pump since the one they had was quite outdated. Then a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed to keep the relative humidity at a healthy 55%. The homeowners also wanted a CleanSpace vapor barrier installed over the walls after the cracks and rod holes were sealed. This blocks humidity and water vapor from entering the basement.

HomeSpec gave this basement the ultimate protection from water issues, and the homeowners are very pleased that no water has leaked into their basement since! 

A homeowner in Pontiac, MI was getting sick and tired of cleaning up leaking water all of the time. The water was intruding where the wall meets the floor in their basement. This homeowner was not going to wait for things to get worse and instead called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. 

HomeSpec’s Senior Project Manager, Ted, visited the home to provide the inspection. After evaluating the situation, he recommended an interior drainage system, IDS, to capture the water from the basement, a sump pump, and a new sump discharge so the captured water could be pumped out and expelled numerous feet away from the house. To do all of this would require temporarily relocating the clothing washer, dryer, and laundry tub. The homeowner agreed with the proposal and a team was scheduled to return at a later date.

The crew was led by Foreman Jon and Plumber Rick. When they arrived on the scene, it became clear that there was a bit of a problem. This basement had a footer that created a stairstep effect. Because of this, the wall did not meet where the new interior drainage system would be installed in the floor. To solve this problem, the crew used waterproofing material, called Wallie, to capture water from above the footing and lead it into the IDS below. They continued with the remainder of the installation, leaving the basement dry and tidy. The homeowner was very happy with the entire experience and left a five-star review on Google.

This homeowner was experiencing large vertical cracks in their basement floors and walls and it was causing them greater foundation concerns, this led them to do some research into the possible solutions for their foundation needs. That's when we came in and applied High Powered Urethane Crack Injection in order to permanently seal the cracks and restore their peace of mind.
