HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fenton, MI was interested in adding an addition to the house they inherited but realized they needed to address some problems first. The most worrisome was the settling foundation. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a free estimate and to get an educated opinion about what they were facing.

HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, evaluated the home both inside and outside. He concluded the company could install a SmartJack® system in their crawl space to lift and support the beams of the home, more so than the support that was already in place. While at the house, he also recommended encapsulating the crawl space, an exterior discharge line, downspout extension, HVAC, and rerouting the plumbing. The homeowner appreciated the attention to detail and agreed to all of the repairs. HomeSpec’s Jon, the foreman, and plumber, Rick, led the team in completing the repairs and walking through each step with the homeowner. Satisfied with the work, the homeowner left a glowing review on HomeSpec’s website.

HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair sent one of their inspectors, Erik, to a home in Fenton, MI to evaluate the homeowner’s concerns. While the initial focus was on foundation settlement, Erik knew their crawl space needed additional attention. He suggested encapsulating the crawl space using the CleanSpace® system. It protects the home both beneath and above from moisture and mold, keeps the critters out, and provides a clean area for storage. 

The homeowner agreed with the CleanSpace® suggestion as well as other repairs like rerouting the plumbing, HVAC, an exterior discharge line, and downspout extension. The work was carried out by HomeSpec’s team headed by foreman Jon and plumber Rick. By the time they completed the projects, the crawl space was a beautiful, clean dream from corner to corner. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and now recommends HomeSpec to others in search of home repairs.

The crawl space below this business in Richmond, Michigan was experiencing water issues, so the owners called HomeSpec. Water was leaking in at multiple walls and pooling on the floor. A musty smell could sometimes be caught in the store above. 

To combat this issue, our crawl space experts decided a full waterproofing and encapsulation system would be best. In order to waterproof, a sump pump, dehumidifier, and perimeter drainage system was needed. Then the area was encapsulated with a vapor barrier. Now the store owners are so excited to have extra space for their business and not have to worry about their goods getting water damaged! 

The discharge for a sump pump in Armada, MI clogged and caused an overflow. The water was threatening the foundation of the home. The homeowners also noticed a leak in a basement wall whenever there were heavy rains. They knew these issues needed to be fixed if they were going to move out of state like they planned. So, they decided to reach out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

A senior project manager, David, inspected the basement and the areas of concern. He shared a repair plan with the homeowners starting with a new sump pump. This would be connected to an interior drainage system as well as an exterior discharge line. These products would ensure that any intruding water is pumped out and away from the home. The homeowners accepted this plan and had HomeSpec’s team install the project. The team was led by foreman Vernon. The homeowners were really happy with their work!

A family in Linden, MI moved into their brand new home in 2017. The house had been built in 2016 making them the first homeowners. Things were fine until they noticed the drywall had developed cracks. They fixed the cracks but were frustrated when more appeared later on. They did not want things to get worse and did not want to keep fixing the same drywall over and over. So, the homeowners turned to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

A senior project manager, Keith, explored the home both inside and outside to get a full understanding of the situation. He created a repair plan and shared his recommendations with the family. He suggested installing SmartJack® support posts and supplemental beams strategically in the basement to stabilize the main floor. Securing the floor would prevent the walls from shifting and cracking any further. The homeowners approved of this repair plan and went forward with HomeSpec. The main installation was handled by foreman Jon and his team while the plumbing needed to execute the plan was handled by the plumber Rick. The homeowners were happy with the final results and happy to know their home was stabilized.
