HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This basement flooded after a bad storm because the homeowner's sump pump failed. Sadly, this is a common problem. Old sump pumps simply cannot handle high amounts of water.

After removing the damaged drywall, several cracked and damaged walls were discovered as well. The walls were deflecting inward and there was some shearing. This homeowner wanted to repair her basement and never have to worry about it again. 

That's where HomeSpec comes in! Our team of experts curated a special solution to solve this problem. First, the basement needed to be waterproofed so we installed an interior drainage system with a sump pump. Our sumps can pump out thousands of gallons of water every hour - preventing this basement from flooding again. Next, the walls needed to be stabilized. We used the PowerBrace wall repair system and the carbon fiber system to prevent further damage and potentially straighten them.

An Ortonville, MI homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to repair a concrete driveway. Not only were there cracks but some of the slabs had begun to sink. This gap even allowed grass to grow through the concrete. This particular homeowner was already very familiar with the company because they had been hired before. They had owned two homes throughout the years and HomeSpec encapsulated both crawl spaces. When it came time for more repairs, they already knew what company they wanted to work with.

A senior project manager named Erik visited the home and evaluated the cracked driveway. He was the same project manager who had done their last inspection for the crawl space. Erik discussed his findings with the homeowner and together they came up with a plan that met the homeowner’s goals. The homeowner agreed to let HomeSpec’s team use PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift the slabs up again until the entire driveway was level again. Then, the crew would seal the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The group that completed this project was led by a PolyLevel foreman named Fred. The homeowner was happy with the final results!

Stephanie K. used her small 7' x 7' crawl space as a storage space, like many other people. It was already equipped with a sump pump, but the old brick walls would occasionally leak. Belongings were getting ruined and it was starting to smell musty, so she contacted HomeSpec to propose a plan for repairs. 

Our specialists recommended encapsulating the crawl space to seal off the walls and floor from moisture and water vapor. Stephanie was excited about the plan and the crew got to work. They installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to get the job done. This is antimicrobial and made of inorganic material to prevent mold growth while keeping the crawl space dry and clean.

Stephanie was very happy with the results and immediately noticed the disappearance of the musty smells. Now she has a healthy crawl space safe to store all of her belongings!

Egress windows come with a ton of benefits - from all the natural light they allow into basements, to the emergency exit they provide to keep your family safe. But without a proper window well and drainage, they are very susceptible to leaking. That's why this Marysville homeowner contacted HomeSpec. 

JoAnn's window well was leaking for two main reasons: 1) water was pooling in the well because of inadequate drainage and 2) absence of a window well cover to keep out water. 

To solve this problem, HomeSpec replaced the old wooden well with our Rockwell window well with proper drainage. We also installed a cover to keep out water and debris! 

This homeowner in Almont, MI saw that their patio was creating trip hazards. They also noted that water was not running off in the right direction, if at all, which was causing damage and puddles on some concrete slabs. Neither of these issues would get better with time, only worse, so the homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. 

HomeSpec provided a free inspection because the homeowner was present. Throughout the inspection, HomeSpec’s project manager took pictures to highlight the worst cracking and unleveled areas. After an in-depth discussion with the homeowner, the project manager recommended PolyLevel® Injection Foam to level the areas that have sunk and need to direct the water runoff. He also recommended the concrete protection system using NexusPro sealant. 

The homeowner agreed with this proposal and HomeSpec scheduled a crew. The team was led by foreman Domonique. Working together, they were able to complete the project in just a few short days. The patio was now not only leveled and free of trip hazards as desired, but the joints were also protected from UV rays, harsh weather conditions, and weeds.
