HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI had worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in the past to fix a crack in the basement wall. Unfortunately, the basement had flooded more than once. While the house was being inspected by one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Ted, he also suggested new flooring. The homeowner contemplated this option at the time of the crack repair but decided to tackle one issue at a time. A couple of months later, the homeowner reached out to HomeSpec again, this time prepared to install new flooring.

The flooring HomeSpec offers is not your average hardwood or tile flooring. ThermalDry® Basement Floor Tiles are made of waterproof materials that are designed to stay warm and comfortable while also staying dry and mold-free. This homeowner chose the carpet version in the color Mocha. They witnessed the basement transform as Jim and his team installed carpet tiles. They were happy with the finished product and could rest easy knowing the floors would never buckle or peel off of the floor.

A homeowner in Grosse Pointe, MI, was experiencing water leakage throughout their basement. It was creating moisture and mold. They decided to call HomeSpec to get a free inspection of their home. HomeSpec's project manager, Bill, went to give the inspection. He confirmed the water leakage and knew HomeSpec could help.

Bill proposed installing a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to provide protection to the basement, accompanied by an Interior Drainage System to guide the unwanted water to the sump pump. The homeowners accepted this plan, and Rick from HomeSpec got to work on the installations. The homeowners were glad to have peace of mind regarding their basement.

This home in Grosse Pointe Woods had previously been waterproofed by another company, but they did not have a sump pump installed. As time went on, the homeowner noticed water leaking into the basement again and knew that HomeSpec was the best option to fix everything. HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, advised that a sump pump as well as a sump pump discharge system would address all of the homeowner’s concerns.

Once approved, HomeSpec’s crew, led by foreman Vernon, came out to the house to install the sump pump and other waterproofing materials. In this case, they used a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. It now sits comfortably out of the way in one corner of the basement.

A Grosse Pointe Woods homeowner was aware that their basement had been waterproofed in the past but was unaware that the company they used had not fixed all of the problems. It wasn’t until the basement began leaking water again that this homeowner learned they needed help once again. This time, they called HomeSpec.

HomeSpec had one of their inspectors, Erik, go out to the house to investigate. The homeowner was informed that the basement did not have a sump pump, like the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, or a sump pump drainage system. Erik recommended these solutions, as well as other waterproofing options, and the homeowner approved them. A crew, led by foreman Vernon, later came out to the home for installation. The homeowner now has a dry basement and an aesthetically pleasing yard!

A Grosse Pointe Woods, MI home had begun to show signs of settlement. Some of these signs include clear sinking from the front of the house as well as horizontal cracks and bowing along the basement walls. The homeowner wanted to address these issues before anything got worse, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. Keith, a senior project manager, went to the house for an inspection and to discuss the homeowner's concerns.

Together, they devised a plan to install helical piers to lift the foundation back to its original level and CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to secure the bowing wall. When the foreman, Ryan, and his crew arrived for the installations, the homeowner asked if it was possible to add on more repairs. After more discussion and confirming the budget the homeowner was comfortable with, the plan was to add an interior drainage system to the basement floors and a vapor barrier made of CleanSpace® for the walls. Because there were many parts to this plan, multiple teams were involved to ensure everything flowed smoothly. The other foremen who brought this homeowner’s vision to life were Eleftherios, Josh, and Rick. Once everything was complete, the homeowner was happy with their stabilized foundation and waterproof basement.
