Basement Wall Crack Repair in Westland, MI
This homeowner in Westland, MI noticed a crack in their basement about ten years ago. They did a DIY repair that fixed the problem for a while but unfortunately did not permanently keep the water out. During some heavy rain, the leak returned creating a small river. They cleaned it up but do not want to have to replace their finished floor. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a solution.
The senior project manager, Ben, proposed using a polyurethane sealant that HomeSpec uses regularly for this type of repair. With only one basement wall crack to repair, it would be handled quickly and permanently. The homeowner agreed and HomeSpec’s service technician, Mike, was scheduled to lead a team in the work. As expected, the repair was completed in just one day. The homeowner was happy with HomeSpec’s service from start to finish and even left a positive review!

Repeat HomeSpec Customer in Southfield, MI Gets Foundation Crack Fix
A homeowner in Southfield, MI originally reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with interest in external waterproofing solutions. Unfortunately, water was entering their basement and causing trouble. HomeSpec did help with waterproofing the home thanks to the foremen, Vernon and Ryan, and their team. All was well that could be seen. However, hiding behind a section of drywall in a new area, there was a large foundation crack that later began to leak.
The homeowner reached back out to HomeSpec and a project manager soon visited. This project manager inspected the crack and came up with a plan to fix the leak. They proposed to the homeowner that HomeSpec use a high pressure urethane injection to stop the leak. The injected material would fill the space behind the foundation wall that was allowing water to enter the basement. The repair team would then seal the crack on the inside of the wall to further prevent leaks.

Basement Floor Cracks
Water can also rise directly through the porous concrete of your floor slab, a problem that's exacerbated when there's a crack. When you have water coming through the floor, the first step is installing a perimeter drain system. We can also install a direct drainage channel, which will help direct any water that comes through the crack into the drain and your sump pump. Finally, we will backfill the crack with stone and cover it with fresh concrete to prevent future leaks.

Basement Wall Cracks
The soil around your foundation is filled with water, and even the smallest crack will allow this groundwater to seep into your basement. Much like with floor cracks, the first step to repairing a leaky wall crack is installing one of our drainage systems. We then use an innovative polyurethane sealant called FlexiSpan® to seal the crack. This flexible sealant will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of your foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofed seal.

Basement Leaky Windows
A waterproof seal. Prevent future leaks with our basement window sealing system.
Window frames break down over time, creating separation and allowing water to seep past seals. Once again, the first step for repair window leaks is a drainage system that funnels the water to your sump pump. We will then create a small hole in the wall under the basement window with a plastic fitting that directs any water into the drainage system. This is then sealed with a polymer injection for a clean, waterproof finish.
Repair your leaking basement floor and wall cracks today!
Water can enter your home at any point where there is an opening in the foundation. This includes not only cracks in the basement walls and floors, but around pipes as well. Our floor crack and leaky window solutions provide lasting results that are compatible with your perimeter drainage system and will not crumble, flake off your walls, or fail due to the natural expansion and shrinking of the concrete.
