New Sump Pump and Waterproofing in Plymouth, MI

In 2022, a family moved into a home in Plymouth, MI. Over the last couple of years, the finished basement has suffered water damage during heavy rains. It had gotten so bad that the children were no longer able to play downstairs. The family installed a sump pump hoping to solve this problem; however, the next time it rained the sump pump proved ineffective. They were ready to finally be done with these leaks so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Jeremiah, a project manager for HomeSpec, went to the home to do an inspection. He saw the sump pump the family had purchased as well as the areas where water intrusion in the basement occurred. He shared with them that a sump pump was a good idea, but that it alone was not enough to stop the water. Jeremiah proposed using a powerful sump pump that is compatible with an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® french drains. These drains would line the majority of the basement walls which would reach where the previous sump pump could not. He also suggested using the Everlast Wall Restoration System which is a waterproof basement finishing material and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The homeowners agreed to use these products. HomeSpec’s foremen, Brandon and Rick, led the installations for this project. The family was happy to have their usable basement back for the whole family when the work was completed.
