HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Grosse Pointe Woods had previously been waterproofed by another company, but they did not have a sump pump installed. As time went on, the homeowner noticed water leaking into the basement again and knew that HomeSpec was the best option to fix everything. HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, advised that a sump pump as well as a sump pump discharge system would address all of the homeowner’s concerns.

Once approved, HomeSpec’s crew, led by foreman Vernon, came out to the house to install the sump pump and other waterproofing materials. In this case, they used a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. It now sits comfortably out of the way in one corner of the basement.

A Grosse Pointe Woods homeowner was aware that their basement had been waterproofed in the past but was unaware that the company they used had not fixed all of the problems. It wasn’t until the basement began leaking water again that this homeowner learned they needed help once again. This time, they called HomeSpec.

HomeSpec had one of their inspectors, Erik, go out to the house to investigate. The homeowner was informed that the basement did not have a sump pump, like the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, or a sump pump drainage system. Erik recommended these solutions, as well as other waterproofing options, and the homeowner approved them. A crew, led by foreman Vernon, later came out to the home for installation. The homeowner now has a dry basement and an aesthetically pleasing yard!

A Grosse Pointe Woods, MI home had begun to show signs of settlement. Some of these signs include clear sinking from the front of the house as well as horizontal cracks and bowing along the basement walls. The homeowner wanted to address these issues before anything got worse, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. Keith, a senior project manager, went to the house for an inspection and to discuss the homeowner's concerns.

Together, they devised a plan to install helical piers to lift the foundation back to its original level and CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to secure the bowing wall. When the foreman, Ryan, and his crew arrived for the installations, the homeowner asked if it was possible to add on more repairs. After more discussion and confirming the budget the homeowner was comfortable with, the plan was to add an interior drainage system to the basement floors and a vapor barrier made of CleanSpace® for the walls. Because there were many parts to this plan, multiple teams were involved to ensure everything flowed smoothly. The other foremen who brought this homeowner’s vision to life were Eleftherios, Josh, and Rick. Once everything was complete, the homeowner was happy with their stabilized foundation and waterproof basement.

A concerned homeowner in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair because water was getting into their basement. They were concerned about mold damaging their property and wanted to get any and all issues fixed before retirement. Cleaning up water every time they wanted to do laundry or change the furnace filter in their basement was not in their plans for the future. Additionally, they would need a dry space for storage to protect their items.

Keith, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went to the home and provided a free inspection. While looking for the source and cause of the water intrusion, Keith noticed there were cracks in the basement walls which meant there were structural components to consider as well. He took thorough notes and measurements before sitting down with the homeowner to decide on a repair plan together. Keith proposed addressing both the wall cracks and waterproofing needs at the same time. The HomeSpec team would fill the cracks and then use CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to prevent the walls from moving any further. They would also install a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture any water and route it to a sump pump. The homeowner agreed to this plan and planned on a crew later seeing it through. This crew was led by a foreman named Jon, and the homeowner was so impressed with Jon and his team that they called in to compliment their politeness and amazing work ethic!

This homeowner wanted to have their crawl space encapsulated in order to get rid of the musty smells and odors that were penetrating the upper levels of the living space. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System  helped prevent moisture and musty odors in this homeowners crawl space with its specially designed vapor barrier.
