HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Westland, MI found a leak in the corner of their basement. They noticed that they would regularly encounter water entering their home during heavy rains. It became clear that they needed to control the water before the damage was irreparable. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection to see what could be done.

Sidney, one of HomeSpec’s inspection managers, visited the residence and spoke with the owner. They reviewed their concerns and Sideny proceeded to investigate the basement. He saw where water was intruding as described but also noted additional areas. Sidney proposed that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to install an interior drainage system using WaterGuard®. The IDS would line each wall and connect to a sump pump and discharge line. With this system in place, any water that was on its way into the home would be captured, escorted to the sump pump, and then discharged away from the house. The homeowner agreed to this plan and it was brought to life. The crew that installed this project was led by a foreman named Michael. Their completed work met the homeowner’s goals and prevented further damage.

A homeowner in Romulus, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after buying a home with apparent water damage in the basement. The walls were water damaged and stained severely because water was seeping in at the base of the wall. 

HomeSpec tackled this issue by installing a vapor barrier over the bottom of the wall to hide the unsightly stains and to direct the water leaking in down into a WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. This system collects the water and deposits it into the TripleSafe Sump Pump to be funneled away from the foundation. All three of these work together seamlessly to keep the basement dry and looking great!

In Livonia, MI, two realtors worked together to make the sale and purchase of a home as simple as possible. They were both working with family members and strived for the best outcome for both parties. The buyer and the seller wanted to ensure the house was structurally sound. Having peace of mind that the house was safe and healthy was a priority, so they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Mark, went out to the home and entered the crawl space. While he was there, Mark took measurements and notes so he could accurately diagnose the problem and create a repair plan. He shared that the best solution would be to install SmartJack® support posts where there were cinderblocks holding up beams in the crawl space. This would provide a more stable support that would not crack or crumble with time. They agreed with this plan and HomeSpec was scheduled to install the SmartJack® support posts. Jon, one of HomeSpec’s foremen, led an installation team. The final results accomplished the buyer and seller's goal of safer structural support.

A sinking patio in Livonia, MI was cause for concern for this homeowner. The step from the patio to the door had grown as the concrete slab sank lower, increasing the risk of tripping. The homeowner wanted their concrete leveling done by a professional, so they reached out to HomeSpec. The customer care team set up an appointment with a project manager to visit the home and provide a free estimate.

During the appointment, the project manager discussed the homeowner’s goals and took thorough notes about the condition of the patio. After recording the necessary measurements, the project manager recommended lifting the concrete with PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Once the slabs were leveled, the crew would use NexusPro sealant to protect the joints. The homeowner approved of this repair plan and later worked with the scheduling team to have the repairs completed. Fred, a foreman specializing in concrete leveling, led a crew in this project.

In Livonia, MI, a homeowner saw that was was leaking in a corner of their unfinished basement. After living in the home for 20 years, they were considering selling in the future. Regardless if they stayed or sold, they knew that this water leak needed to be addressed. After some looking around, the homeowner found HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. HomeSpec sent their senior project manager, Erik, to do an inspection.

After some careful thought, Erik suggested an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® and connecting it to discharge to the storm cleanout. This system would effectively catch any water from a poured foundation such as this one and dispel it, keeping the basement dry. The homeowner liked this plan and moved forward with the repairs. HomeSpec sent their plumber, Rick, and foreman, Josh, to lead the work. The homeowner was satisfied with the work and service from HomeSpec and left a positive review!
