HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

To be honest, wet basements are annoying for everyone. Whether your basement is fully finished or simply a storage room - no one wants water seeping in and causing damage. These East China homeowners used their basement for the latter - they stored old furniture and boxes of belongings, and only ventured downstairs to do the laundry once a week. 

For years though, water was seeping into the basement at the joint where the floor and the walls meet. Sometimes they'd even find cardboard boxes sitting in a puddle of water. After years of dealing with this headache, they finally decided to contact HomeSpec to look into their options. 

Our specialist recommended an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. Since the water was entering around the perimeter of the basement, this system is the best option. It would collect the water before it seeps into the basement and direct it to the sump pump, which would then expel the water away from the home. 

The homeowners are very happy with the results, and reported no leaks even after many heavy rains! 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because the walkway leading to their house was very uneven - causing tripping hazards. The porch was also cracked and sinking and needed to be repaired. 

Our team solved this issue permanently with our PolyLevel system. Through a dime-sized hole, we injected a polyurethane foam underneath the concrete. As it expanded, the slabs were lifted up back into place. The joints and cracks were then sealed with our strong silicone-based sealant. And the walkway was even once more! 

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!
