HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A couple in Trenton, MI noticed that water was coming through a crack in the basement consistently. They planned on being in the home for a long time and did not want to constantly worry about their health or fixing damage caused by the water. They decided to reach out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see how much the repairs would cost. Because they are the homeowners, the inspection would be free.

Elon, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home and evaluated both the interior and exterior. He was able to see where the water was coming from and come up with a repair plan. He worked with the homeowners to come up with a plan that they approved of. Together, they decided to fix the crack using high pressure urethane injections, meaning the space behind the crack would be filled so water could no longer leak through. They also decided to waterproof the basement using special WaterGuard® french drains that would connect to a new sump pump. This plan was made a reality by two HomeSpec teams led by Brandon and Domonique. The homeowners were very happy with their work!

A stabilization system was installed on the walls of the basement. Our crew also installed an interior drainage system. 

An unfinished basement that's leaking water can be a major problem for homeowners. When water enters an basement, it can cause damage to the concrete walls and floor, leading to cracking and weakening of the structure. This can cause mold growth, which is not only unsightly but can also be harmful to your health and create unpleasant odors. In addition, the damp environment can make it difficult to use the space for storage or even as a living area. An unfinished basement can also lower the overall value of your home.

This is why our Project Manager recommended The WaterGuard Drainage System and The EverLast Wall Support System. These systems are designed to address the water leaking into the basement and provide homeowners with a permanent solution to their basement waterproofing needs. Firstly, The WaterGuard Drainage System collects water that enters the basement and directs it to a sump pump for safe discharge, preventing water from causing damage to the walls and floor. Secondly, The EverLast Wall Support System reinforces and stabilizes the walls, providing a strong barrier against cracking and bowing. Together, these systems help to create a dry, healthy, and usable living space in the basement. Now these homeowners can enjoy the benefits of a finished basement without the worry of water damage, mold growth, and structural problems.

Crews encapsulated a crawl space in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

As you can see from the photo, Elaina K. in Southfield, Michigan was dealing with a wet and muddy crawl space - which is why she called HomeSpec to have it waterproofed and encapsulated!

Project Manager Mark Buhr developed a repair that would best suit Elaina's needs. Jon Davis and his crew installed The SmartPipe™ Drainage System made for crawl spaces, and connected it to a brand new sump pump with a powerful Zoeller Pump inside. This system will collect water and funnel it away from the foundation. They then sealed the floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to block moisture from entering. 

Our crew also installed SmartJack Support Posts in the crawl space to stop the floors above from sagging. This Southfield homeowner now has a dry, healthy crawl space thanks to the team at HomeSpec!
