HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A concerned homeowner in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair because water was getting into their basement. They were concerned about mold damaging their property and wanted to get any and all issues fixed before retirement. Cleaning up water every time they wanted to do laundry or change the furnace filter in their basement was not in their plans for the future. Additionally, they would need a dry space for storage to protect their items.

Keith, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went to the home and provided a free inspection. While looking for the source and cause of the water intrusion, Keith noticed there were cracks in the basement walls which meant there were structural components to consider as well. He took thorough notes and measurements before sitting down with the homeowner to decide on a repair plan together. Keith proposed addressing both the wall cracks and waterproofing needs at the same time. The HomeSpec team would fill the cracks and then use CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System to prevent the walls from moving any further. They would also install a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture any water and route it to a sump pump. The homeowner agreed to this plan and planned on a crew later seeing it through. This crew was led by a foreman named Jon, and the homeowner was so impressed with Jon and his team that they called in to compliment their politeness and amazing work ethic!

Cracks in the basement floor of a Grosse Pointe Woods, MI, home were growing in both size and frequency. The homeowner was becoming concerned that there were significant issues with the foundation, but they could not tell for sure due to the drywall and carpet throughout the basement. They contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to get a free inspection and determine the best course of action.

A senior project manager named Keith went out to the house and met with the homeowner. They described the symptoms in the basement and expressed worries about there being problems with the foundation, especially if the problems worsened with time. Keith thoroughly investigated the basement and prepared ideas for a repair plan. He presented them to the homeowner, and together, they came to an agreement. Depending on the severity of damage behind the drywall, using a CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System and PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System would prevent walls from bowing and cracking any further. The homeowner then scheduled a team, led by a foreman named Jim, to install those products. They were happy with the final results and were reassured that the foundation issues would not get worse.

Beams were installed to stabilize basement walls that were cracked. 

This homeowner was experiencing large vertical cracks in their basement floors and walls and it was causing them greater foundation concerns, this led them to do some research into the possible solutions for their foundation needs. That's when we came in and applied High Powered Urethane Crack Injection in order to permanently seal the cracks and restore their peace of mind.

A Macomb, MI homeowner contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with concerns about their sump pump. HomeSpec sent one of their project managers, Sean, to the home. Upon arriving, he noticed that there were large gaps in the driveway. Certain spots had even been invaded by grass. 

Sean spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and went on to provide a free inspection. After investigating the sump pump in the basement floor he returned to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan. Sean, of course, talked about the areas the homeowner was concerned about but also brought up the driveway. Sean recommended installing a new sump pump as well as filling the concrete cracks and joints with NexusPro sealant to protect the driveway. The homeowner agreed with both of these recommendations and scheduled a team for the repairs. A foreman named Domonique led the charge and the homeowner was happy with the crew’s hard work!
