HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner contacted us because the floors of her home were sagging.

Our team installed a jack in the crawl space to fix that issue. The crawl space was also encapsulated. 

HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair have been to this same Chelsea, MI home before to fix the crawlspace. Now, the homeowners plan to do a complete renovation of their house except for the foundation. It is important to them that they address any issues with the foundation before building on top of it. They were so pleased with their crawlspace that they called HomeSpec again to take a look.

The inspector, Erik, explored the unfinished basement with a poured and concrete block foundation. There was water entering where the basement floor meets the wall. The current partial interior drainage system, IDS, in the basement was not preventing damage to items being stored there. To address this, Erik recommended replacing the current IDS with WaterGuard® around the entire basement instead of only specific areas. Additionally, connecting the new system to the existing concrete basin would require drilling into the concrete. The homeowner agreed to this proposal and also requested removing the two concrete steps at the bottom of the basement. This was within HomeSpec’s abilities and so they scheduled a crew, led by foreman Josh, to do the repairs.

Everything went according to plan. The interior drainage system would capture any water that intruded and direct it away from the house. The homeowner was pleased with the results and able to move on to other matters for rebuilding their home.

The homeowner was looking for a long-term solution for keeping his basement dry after water started coming through the floor of his 100-year-old home.

A homeowner in Dexter, MI with a persistent leak in their basement called us out to reinfect a crack that was causing water to leak into the basement and cause them trouble. Our crew used High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal the crack and prevent any more water from entering the home.

This sump pump discharge line was extended a whopping 18 feet to connect to the storm basin! The interior drainage system collects water coming into the basement and deposits it into the sump pump, which then pumps the water away from the home through the discharge line. By burying the discharge line, it elmininates unsighlty pipes and tripping hazards.
