HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Macomb, MI homeowner contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with concerns about their sump pump. HomeSpec sent one of their project managers, Sean, to the home. Upon arriving, he noticed that there were large gaps in the driveway. Certain spots had even been invaded by grass. 

Sean spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and went on to provide a free inspection. After investigating the sump pump in the basement floor he returned to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan. Sean, of course, talked about the areas the homeowner was concerned about but also brought up the driveway. Sean recommended installing a new sump pump as well as filling the concrete cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant to protect the driveway. The homeowner agreed with both of these recommendations and scheduled a team for the repairs. A foreman named Domonique led the charge and the homeowner was happy with the crew’s hard work!

A couple in Macomb, MI has lived in a house for the last 23 years, since it was built. Unfortunately, there has been water leaking in the basement through a concrete foundation wall. They knew that if their children were to inherit the house they would want to take care of any and all issues first. They definitely did not want to leave mold or potential for more to grow. To get their basement assessed, the homeowners called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair.

HomeSpec sent Chris B., an inspector, for the evaluation. He did a walkthrough of the home and a lap around the outside to get a full understanding of the condition. After speaking with the homeowners about their concerns, he provided some suggestions. A sump pump and WaterGuard® drainage system would capture the water and pump it away from the home while the Everlast Wall Restoration System would prevent future leaks and insulate the space. The wall waterproofing material also includes a 50-year warranty and offers a clean look. The homeowners approved all of the recommendations and HomeSpec scheduled a crew to begin the work.

The foreman, Brandon H., led the team in getting the work done efficiently. After installing the interior drainage system the crew turned their attention to the Everlast Wall Restoration System. They carefully removed the bottom portion of the basement walls and fitted the waterproofing material into place. The team used baseboards to finish the project and tidied up after themselves. The homeowners were pleased with the final results, a dry and beautiful basement.

A home in Macomb, MI was on the market so the current homeowner could move closer to family. Unfortunately, one accepted offer was rescinded after a home inspector found moisture and mold in the crawl space. The homeowner did not want to risk this happening again and decided to have the crawl space repaired. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection and estimate.

Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, did his own inspection so the crew would be properly prepared if the homeowner decided to move forward with the company. He saw the mold and moisture issues previously pointed out and investigated the scope of the damage. Zach then created a repair plan and brought it to the homeowner for consideration. He recommended using Mold-X2 to prevent mold growth before installing products to prevent moisture. These products would be the SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe and CleanSpace® encapsulation. The homeowner agreed to this course of action. The HomeSpec crew that installed this project was led by foreman Jon. The homeowner was very happy with the final results!

Scott A. from Waterford, Michigan called HomeSpec to repair his sinking garage. The garage's foundation was settling into the soil which was causing separation from the home and severe cracking. Scott also wanted some concrete repaired while we were there. 

Project Manager Keith Brown knew we could combat this issue by installing Helical Piers below the foundation. Foreman Ryan Loop and his crew got to work installing the piers to stabilize the foundation and stop the sinking. They were also able to lift the foundation back to its original position. Crack Tech Ryan Bonacorsi was then able to permanently seal the cracks in the walls. 

At the same time, Concrete Specialists Devin Parker and Alex Lofgren were working on repairing Scott's concrete. They used the PolyLevel method, a cost-effective and less-abrasive method for leveling concrete. This works by injecting polyurethane rigid foam below the concrete slabs. As the foam expands, the concrete is lifted into place. It was a quick and easy installation! 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because a block wall in his crawl space was deteriorating. 

This can danger the structural integrity of the home, so our crew rebuilt the severely damaged wall, and then encapsulated the entire crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to waterproof it.
