Leaking Basement Wall Cracks Lead to Waterproofing in Sterling Heights, MI Home

An unfinished basement in Sterling Heights, MI began leaking through cracks in the walls. The homeowner feared that things would get far worse if it went unaddressed. With no plans of moving, they intended to finish the basement and make it a safe place for their kids to play. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate on the cost of fixing their basement. 

Jeremiah, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went out to the home. He met with the owner and talked about what they had noticed before being shown the basement. Jeremiah took measurements throughout the area and noted where water was intruding. After careful evaluation, he went to speak with the homeowner again and proposed a solution. While the basement did have an existing discharge, it did not have a WaterGuard® interior drainage system, an UltraSump® Battery Backup System, or a CleanSpace® vapor barrier. Jeremiah shared information about how these waterproofing products could protect the basement from further water damage. The homeowner approved of these recommendations and had them installed by a HomeSpec crew!
