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.
This Goodrich homeowner was working on the curb appeal of his home before putting it on the market. He knew how important curb appeal is when it comes to selling a home - it attracts the attention of home buyers and adds value. But the walkway slabs leading to the porch were lopsided with messy weeds growing in-between the cracks. The concrete need some TLC!
HomeSpec came to the rescue with our innovative PolyLevel system. The slabs were leveled, sealed, and ready to go the same day. The joints were also sealed to prevent weeds from growing again. The homeowner was happy he hired the right contractors to complete his concrete job!
Our team installed an interior drainage system and encapsulated a crawl space in Goodells.
A Smiths Creek couple moved into their home in late 2022. Since then, they had noticed sagging floors on the main level of their house. It was apparent that water was getting into the crawl space and there was also water pooling around the outside. It was important to the homeowners that a professional company install supports and waterproof their crawl space so they could eventually renovate the main floor. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.
Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, accessed the crawl space and investigated its condition. When he emerged, he met with the homeowners to discuss a repair plan. He recommended installing SmartJack® support posts to lift the sagging floor and stabilize the remaining area. Then, he recommended installing SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe, CleanSpace®, and a crawl space vent cover to waterproof and encapsulate the crawl space. The homeowners agreed to this plan and later witnessed their crawl space be transformed by a HomeSpec crew led by a foreman named Brandon. They were happy with the final results!
