HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Saline, MI couple moved into their home in the early 2000s. Since then, water has entered their garage and basement repeatedly. Their home had been flooded three times in the last year alone. While it never bothered them much before because the basement was being used as storage, the time had come to look into repairs. They anticipated moving into a retirement home in the future and wanted the home to be able to sell for the best value as well as ensure the next homeowners had nothing to worry about. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection.

The project manager, Yann, explored the areas the couple was concerned with as well as the outside of the house to ensure an accurate inspection and proposal. He explained honestly that there was a handful of products to waterproof their home such as an interior drainage system. It would be comprised of pipes like WaterGuard® and TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe which would then connect to a sump pump, and sump discharge, which could benefit from freeze prevention products. Other repairs recommended throughout the property included Mold-X2, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and downspout extensions. The couple was prepared and allowed HomeSpec to use all of these repairs. The crews were led by foremen Brandon and Marshall. The homeowners were happy with their completed work and newly dry basement.

A Saline, MI homeowner realized how much of their childhood home needed to be repaired before they could move as they had planned. There were issues with the foundation and front porch. The porch had a diagonal crack and one side had sunk a substantial amount. This posed a tripping hazard that the homeowner wanted to remedy for their own safety as well as the safety of any future buys. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Keith, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went to the home and conducted a thorough inspection both inside and outside of the home. He took measurements and notes before returning to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan. He recommended solutions for the foundation as well as the porch. Keith explained that the crew would fix the porch with PolyLevel® Injection Foam to raise the sunken concrete until the halves were even again. Then, the team would use NexusPro sealant over the crack to secure and protect it. The homeowner agreed to these ideas and worked with HomeSpec to have the crew move forward with the plan. A foreman named Fred led a crew in the porch repair while other foremen, Jon, Mike, and Rick, led the repairs in the basement.

In Saline, MI a homeowner was preparing to sell the house they grew up in. Unfortunately, their foundation walls were riddled with cracks, some of which had been leaking water into the basement. The homeowner wanted to fix these cracks before selling the house to someone else. So, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help. The free inspection was scheduled with one of the senior project managers, Keith.

On the day of the appointment, Keith arrived and spoke with the homeowner about their worries and goals. He evaluated the foundation walls and the entirety of the basement. He took thorough notes of the conditions so the homeowner would have an informed opinion of how they wanted their home repaired. Keith proposed fixing the basement wall cracks with high pressure urethane injections and stabilizing the walls with the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System. Stabilizing the walls would prevent more cracks from forming and injecting the cracks would stop water from entering the basement. The homeowner approved of these recommendations and scheduled the repairs to be made. The HomeSpec teams that completed this project were led by Jon and Mike, and the homeowner was pleased with their repairs!

A homeowner in Saline, MI reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free consultation. They were interested in encapsulating their crawl spaces, of which there were two. Both the homeowner and their child struggled with asthma, and feared that mold would grow and contaminate the air quality throughout the house. After explaining details to the scheduling team, they were able to set up an appointment with a project manager who regularly inspects crawl spaces.

Bill was the project manager helping this homeowner. He spoke with them about their concerns before entering the crawl spaces. While inspecting, Bill took great care in recording details not only for his analysis but so he could inform the homeowner. They talked about what Bill witnessed and then about his recommendations. Together, they decided to encapsulate the crawl space using a CleanSpace® vapor barrier and install a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The homeowner then planned a time for the repairs to be completed. The crew was led by a foreman named Jim, and he and his team worked diligently to finish the project. The homeowner was happy with their crawl space repair!

A Saline, MI, home was having trouble with water leakage in the basement. Water was coming through the floors and walls. The homeowners reached out to HomeSpec looking for a solution to their basement issues. HomeSpec sent project manager Bill to provide a free inspection of the home. While Bill was evaluating the basement, he confirmed the water leakage and prepared a repair plan to propose to the homeowners.

Bill proposed that the homeowners install an Interior Drainage System. This would help collect any unwanted water in the basement and direct it toward the sump pump. For a clean, reliable finish, Bill also recommended installing a CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier. This would help prevent the growth of mold and moisture, keeping the basement dry. After the homeowners agreed to the installations, a team from HomeSpec, led by Michael and accompanied by plumbing specialist Rick, quickly and efficiently completed the work. The homeowners were glad to have a dry basement and happy to be able to use it without worry.
