HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Beams were used to stabilize basement walls that were cracked. 

Jenny W. from Birmingham, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after finding water leaking into her basement after a bad storm through the floor/wall joint and cracks in the walls. 

HomeSpec had a solution for her wet basement woes: a waterproofing system. This includes a WaterGuard Drainage System that installs around the perimeter to collect water before it leaks into the basement. This then deposits water into the TripleSafe Sump Pump (with 3 pumps for triple the protection) which funnels water away from the home. 

We also installed our Foamax Basement Wall Panels to hide the unsightly foundation walls, brighten up the space, and drain any water leaks into the drainage system.  

The basement's transformation was astounding and Jenny couldn't be any happier with the results! 

In the first photo we can see a clearly failing sump pump and drainage system, as show from the visible floor cracks and stains across the floor from prolonged water damage.  To rectify this problem, we utilized our French drain system alongside our triple safe sump pump solution. The French drain collects water along the perimeter of the wall and diverts it seamlessly into our revitalized drainage basin/ new sump pump. This particular sump pump solution includes 3 pumps total. A primary pump, a secondary in case the water inflow turns out to be overwhelming for the first, and a battery backup system to remain operational in times of power outages. 

Crews encapsulated a crawl space in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

An unfinished basement in Sterling Heights, MI began leaking through cracks in the walls. The homeowner feared that things would get far worse if it went unaddressed. With no plans of moving, they intended to finish the basement and make it a safe place for their kids to play. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate on the cost of fixing their basement. 

Jeremiah, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went out to the home. He met with the owner and talked about what they had noticed before being shown the basement. Jeremiah took measurements throughout the area and noted where water was intruding. After careful evaluation, he went to speak with the homeowner again and proposed a solution. While the basement did have an existing discharge, it did not have a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, an UltraSump® Battery Backup System, or a CleanSpace® vapor barrier. Jeremiah shared information about how these waterproofing products could protect the basement from further water damage. The homeowner approved of these recommendations and had them installed by a HomeSpec crew!
