HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These Drayton Plains homeowners contacted HomeSpec because water was seeping into their basement in two ways: 1) Through cracks and rod holes in the foundation walls 2) Through the joint where the floors and walls meet. 

Their project manager and inspector decided that after the cracks and rod holes were repaired, the best route to waterproof the basement would be a WaterGuard® Below Floor Drain. This installs around the perimeter of the basement to stop water intrusion from the walls and said joint. This was connected to a SaniDry™ XP Dehumidifier and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This system will keep the basement dry and pump water far from the foundation.

A CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier for unfinished walls was installed as well to block moisture and water vapor from entering the basement, and instead directs in to the drainage system. This Drayton Plains home now has the ultimate protection against water intrusion, and the homeowners couldn't be any more pleased. 

These homeowners in Marine City, MI contacted HomeSpec because their floors were sagging. Their mobile home sat on a crawl space and we suspected faulty support posts were leading to the saggy floors since we see it often. 

Sure enough, during the inspection, rusting and rotting posts were discovered. It's crucial to have sturdy support in the crawl space to prevent issues like this from occurring and worsening. So to solve this problem, our crew replaced the posts with our SmartJack Support Posts to raise and level the floors above. 

The homeowner also wanted the crawl space encapsulated, so we sealed the walls and floor with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep it as healthy as possible. 

Now their floors are no longer sagging and their crawl space is dry and clean!

A family in Marine City, MI was renting their home to another family member. This tennant had gone into the crawl space and quickly became aware of a burst pipe along one of the walls. There were puddles throughout the crawl space and the insulation had been damaged as well. The family wanted to have the home evaluated by a professional for things like mold and wood damage. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to get this process started.

One of the senior project managers, Zach, inspected the entirety of the crawl space and returned to the family. He shared the unfortunate news that the mold had compromised the integrity of the wood in the crawl space, including the main beam. The family was alarmed by this information and prepared to have it handled immediately. Zach suggested HomeSpec get rid of the mold using Mold-X2. He also suggested that instead of replacing the damaged beam, HomeSpec install a steel beam along side the wooden one and use steel SmartJack® support posts to reinforce the home. The family accepted this proposal and they were happy with the decision as soon as the work was completed.

These homeowners had water leaking into their basement through cracks, rod holes, and between the floor and the wall. The usual suspects! 

Our team of experts repaired the cracks and rod holes, and then installed an interior drainage system to solve their water problems permanently. The drainage system will collect the water, and then the sump pump will pump it up and away from the foundation. 

A homeowner in Lake Orion, MI was preparing to sell their home when an inspector for the interested party discovered mold and moisture in the crawl space. The current homeowner wanted to ensure this was addressed so the sale could proceed. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what could be done about getting the crawl space repaired.

Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, entered the crawl space to do another inspection. Afterward, he recommended that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to use Mold-X2 to address the mold and encapsulate the crawl space using CleanSpace®. This combination would get rid of the mold and prevent it from coming back. The homeowner agreed to this plan and a HomeSpec crew led by foreman David went forward with the repairs. The crawl space was transformed from damp, dirty, and unlevel to a dry, clean, and balanced zone.
