HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A cracked front sidewalk leading to the entrance of a home in Westland, Mi consisted of cracked unleveled slabs. We were able to easily rectify the problem with a combination of injecting high-power polyurethane foam to help lift and level slabs, and sealing joints with our NexusPro system; a proven waterproof and UV-resistant seal 

James D. from Westland, Michigan contacted the HomeSpec team because not only was his crawl space high in moisture, but the pipes would freeze in the winter and the floors above would be freezing cold.

Project manager Ben Gabowitz found the best method to help solve this homeowners problem - crawl space encapsulation and insulation. The encapsulation process seals off the crawl space from moisture with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and the SilverGlo Rigid Foam Insulation creates an air-tight seal to prevent cold air from entering. It's a win-win situation!

If you too experience a cold home in the winter that's difficult to heat, or freezing cold floors above your crawl space, then you might benefit from encapsulating and insulating your crawl space as well – to warm up your home and improve your energy efficiency!
