Waterproofing Macomb, MI Home With Everlast Walls
A couple in Macomb, MI has lived in a house for the last 23 years, since it was built. Unfortunately, there has been water leaking in the basement through a concrete foundation wall. They knew that if their children were to inherit the house they would want to take care of any and all issues first. They definitely did not want to leave mold or potential for more to grow. To get their basement assessed, the homeowners called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair.
HomeSpec sent Chris B., an inspector, for the evaluation. He did a walkthrough of the home and a lap around the outside to get a full understanding of the condition. After speaking with the homeowners about their concerns, he provided some suggestions. A sump pump and WaterGuard® drainage system would capture the water and pump it away from the home while the Everlast Wall Restoration System would prevent future leaks and insulate the space. The wall waterproofing material also includes a 50-year warranty and offers a clean look. The homeowners approved all of the recommendations and HomeSpec scheduled a crew to begin the work.
The foreman, Brandon H., led the team in getting the work done efficiently. After installing the interior drainage system the crew turned their attention to the Everlast Wall Restoration System. They carefully removed the bottom portion of the basement walls and fitted the waterproofing material into place. The team used baseboards to finish the project and tidied up after themselves. The homeowners were pleased with the final results, a dry and beautiful basement.

Cracked & Leaking Walls Waterproofed in Drayton Plains, MI
These Drayton Plains homeowners contacted HomeSpec because water was seeping into their basement in two ways: 1) Through cracks and rod holes in the foundation walls 2) Through the joint where the floors and walls meet.
Their project manager and inspector decided that after the cracks and rod holes were repaired, the best route to waterproof the basement would be a WaterGuard® Below Floor Drain. This installs around the perimeter of the basement to stop water intrusion from the walls and said joint. This was connected to a SaniDry™ XP Dehumidifier and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This system will keep the basement dry and pump water far from the foundation.
A CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier for unfinished walls was installed as well to block moisture and water vapor from entering the basement, and instead directs in to the drainage system. This Drayton Plains home now has the ultimate protection against water intrusion, and the homeowners couldn't be any more pleased.

Sump Pump & French Drain Work to Waterproof East China, MI Basement
To be honest, wet basements are annoying for everyone. Whether your basement is fully finished or simply a storage room - no one wants water seeping in and causing damage. These East China homeowners used their basement for the latter - they stored old furniture and boxes of belongings, and only ventured downstairs to do the laundry once a week.
For years though, water was seeping into the basement at the joint where the floor and the walls meet. Sometimes they'd even find cardboard boxes sitting in a puddle of water. After years of dealing with this headache, they finally decided to contact HomeSpec to look into their options.
Our specialist recommended an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. Since the water was entering around the perimeter of the basement, this system is the best option. It would collect the water before it seeps into the basement and direct it to the sump pump, which would then expel the water away from the home.
The homeowners are very happy with the results, and reported no leaks even after many heavy rains!
