HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These Dearborn, MI homeowners had reached out to HomeSpec to waterproof their basement. Water had damaged wall coverings, baseboards, and carpet. This concerned the family not only about the damage but also about mold and air quality. Their goal was to turn the basement into a safe area for their children to enjoy. With the threat of active water intrusion solved, the homeowners began to wonder about next steps. They contacted HomeSpec once more with the intention of installing basement finishing products for the walls and floors. 

David, the same project manager who helped this family waterproof their basement, came back to the home to discuss options available. He recommended installing Basement to Beautiful™ Panels to insulate the walls and ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring. This combination would keep the basement dry, warm, and make the space feel usable again. The homeowners agreed to this combination and were happy with the finished results! The crew that installed these products were led by Jon, a talented foreman.

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! 

This homeowner in Westland, MI noticed a crack in their basement about ten years ago. They did a DIY repair that fixed the problem for a while but unfortunately did not permanently keep the water out. During some heavy rain, the leak returned creating a small river. They cleaned it up but do not want to have to replace their finished floor. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a solution. 

The senior project manager, Ben, proposed using a polyurethane sealant that HomeSpec uses regularly for this type of repair. With only one basement wall crack to repair, it would be handled quickly and permanently. The homeowner agreed and HomeSpec’s service technician, Mike, was scheduled to lead a team in the work. As expected, the repair was completed in just one day. The homeowner was happy with HomeSpec’s service from start to finish and even left a positive review!

This clear safety hazard of shifting, settling, and sinking concrete slabs would be leveled and sealed using a combination of PolyLevel to inject a powerful versatile polyurethane foam underneath to lift the slabs back into place, and NexusPro joint sealant to reliably seal in the gaps with UV resistant and weatherproof material.
