HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Your sump pump should always be pumping water away from your foundation. Especially if you live in an area with a high water table or a high level of water around your foundation, you need a reliable sump pump to keep your basement from flooding. This Melvindale homeowner did not have that - sometimes her sump pump wouldn't work at all. This made her constantly worry, until she finally contacted HomeSpec.

Our crew installed a brand new TripleSafe sump pump. This provides triple the protection with 3 powerful pumps that expel 2,000 gallons of water every hour. 

Now the homeowner doesn't have to worry about her basement flooding, knowing it's in good hands. 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because he discovered leaking rod holes in his basement wall.

Rod holes are a sneaky, yet quick and easy problem to fix. They were formed when the walls were originally made - steel rods were passed through the concrete to hold the form panels together. This is done to keep the shape and prevent the concrete from bulging. They were then removed, leaving the holes behind. 

After our crew sealed them up, you couldn't even tell they were ever there! 

A homeowner was having an issue with water leaking into their basement.

Our team waterproofed the basement and installed an interior drainage system to prevent further water issues. 

A Dearborn, MI resident moved into their home 30 years ago. This homeowner intends to leave the house to their daughters and plans to remodel and refresh everything. The first issue they decided to tackle was fixing the driveway and the garage. After some searching, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Yann, went out to the home and investigated all of the concrete. He discussed with the homeowner the best way to meet the homeowner’s goals. The first step would be to lift the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. The second step would be to seal the joints and any cracks by using NexusPro sealant. The end result would be leveled, sealed concrete, and a clean aesthetic. The homeowner agreed to this plan and worked out a schedule for the HomeSpec foreman and crew to complete the project.

Elizabeth in Westland, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after the summer's heavy rains and bad storms left her with a wet basement. The biggest problem? Her basement was finished and water was seeping in through the walls, ruining the carpet and wood flooring. 

Upon inspection, project manager David Covert discovered that several cracks were the culprits of the leaking. Since Elizabeth had to rip out all of the water damaged flooring, David suggested installing a much better, waterproof flooring option. 

Crack technician Domonique Price filled and sealed all of the leaking cracks in the foundation walls with a high pressure urethane injection to stop the water intrusion. Then Foreman Jon Lont installed our ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring in a light gray color to match the walls. 

Being made from inorganic materials, this faux-wood flooring option is great for homeowners who want to beautifully finish their basement but also protect it from water damage in the long term. Elizabeth will not have to waste time or money ripping out musty carpet or wet wood flooring ever again, and she's happy with her choice!
