Photo Album: No More Water Intrusion in Dearborn, MI Basement During Heavy Rains

A basement in Dearborn, MI was leaking during heavy rains. The water that had made its way inside caused noticeable damage to the walls and floors, such as peeling paint and stained floors. The homeowner wanted to prevent further damage and return the basement to a dry space to store their items. They contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what solutions were available. A senior project manager named Keith went out to provide a free inspection. He made observations both inside and outside of the home to see where the water was flowing and why. After writing down notes about what he saw and measurements of the basement, Keith spoke with the homeowner about ways to stop future water damage. He suggested installing a new Sump Pump that would be connected to an interior drainage system comprised of WaterGuard® and new sump discharge. Another ideal product to install would be CleanSpace® vapor barrier, which would add a finished look to the basement without ever chipping or peeling the way paint does. The homeowner agreed with these plans and established a schedule for the HomeSpec crews to begin the work. They were led by the foremen Jim and Vernon. With their combined efforts, they transformed this leaky basement into a beautiful, dry space.
