HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Pontiac, MI was getting sick and tired of cleaning up leaking water all of the time. The water was intruding where the wall meets the floor in their basement. This homeowner was not going to wait for things to get worse and instead called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. 

HomeSpec’s Senior Project Manager, Ted, visited the home to provide the inspection. After evaluating the situation, he recommended an interior drainage system, IDS, to capture the water from the basement, a sump pump, and a new sump discharge so the captured water could be pumped out and expelled numerous feet away from the house. To do all of this would require temporarily relocating the clothing washer, dryer, and laundry tub. The homeowner agreed with the proposal and a team was scheduled to return at a later date.

The crew was led by Foreman Jon and Plumber Rick. When they arrived on the scene, it became clear that there was a bit of a problem. This basement had a footer that created a stairstep effect. Because of this, the wall did not meet where the new interior drainage system would be installed in the floor. To solve this problem, the crew used waterproofing material, called Wallie, to capture water from above the footing and lead it into the IDS below. They continued with the remainder of the installation, leaving the basement dry and tidy. The homeowner was very happy with the entire experience and left a five-star review on Google.

Beams were installed to stabilize basement walls that were cracked. 

This homeowner was experiencing large vertical cracks in their basement floors and walls and it was causing them greater foundation concerns, this led them to do some research into the possible solutions for their foundation needs. That's when we came in and applied High Powered Urethane Crack Injection in order to permanently seal the cracks and restore their peace of mind.

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.
