HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Detroit, MI was experiencing water leaking into their basement which was causing mold to grow and leading to further health issues, we solved this issue by re-flooring the basement and installing a WaterGuard Drainage system to prevent any further damage.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI had worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in 2022 to level part of their driveway. A couple of years later, they decided to reach out once more. Not only was the concrete driveway cracked but grass and other plant life had grown through those weak spots. Worse of all, the slabs in the driveway had started rocking when driven over. The homeowner was prepared to have the rest of the driveway repaired and welcomed a HomeSpec project manager to inspect the scope of the work.

The project manager explained that the work would be similar to the work done back in 2022. The crew would clear away the plant life and then level the concrete using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Once the driveway was flat and even, then the crew would seal the cracks using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner agreed to this plan and scheduled a PolyLevel foreman and team to come out to the house. This project was completed by Domonique and his team. The homeowner was happy with the final results!

These homeowners contacted HomeSpec because water was seeping into their finished basement. They had severe cracks and rod holes in their foundation which were the culprits.

The best thing to do is get a free inspection before finishing your basement to make sure no problems will pop up later on. Repairing the water and foundation issues first and foremost will save time and money in the future. 

In order to protect this basement, our crew installed an interior drainage system to collect the water and drain it away from the foundation. We also repaired the cracks and rod holes, and then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier over the walls. This helps direct water to the drainage system, and prevents water vapor from passing through your foundation. 

Our team waterproofed, insulated, and encapsulated the crawl space and installed and interior drainage system. 

In 2022, a family moved into a home in Plymouth, MI. Over the last couple of years, the finished basement has suffered water damage during heavy rains. It had gotten so bad that the children were no longer able to play downstairs. The family installed a sump pump hoping to solve this problem; however, the next time it rained the sump pump proved ineffective. They were ready to finally be done with these leaks so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Jeremiah, a project manager for HomeSpec, went to the home to do an inspection. He saw the sump pump the family had purchased as well as the areas where water intrusion in the basement occurred. He shared with them that a sump pump was a good idea, but that it alone was not enough to stop the water. Jeremiah proposed using a powerful sump pump that is compatible with an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® french drains. These drains would line the majority of the basement walls which would reach where the previous sump pump could not. He also suggested using the Everlast Wall Restoration System which is a waterproof basement finishing material and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The homeowners agreed to use these products. HomeSpec’s foremen, Brandon and Rick, led the installations for this project. The family was happy to have their usable basement back for the whole family when the work was completed.
