Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Owners of a home in Southfield, MI were worried about their sinking sidewalk and driveway. Water was pooling in front of the house and turning into a sheet of ice during the cold months. The homeowners had sought help from HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair just a year prior to address the water in the basement. They were happy with their sump pump solution and knew that HomeSpec would provide the right option for this issue as well.

A project manager named Elon went out to the home to investigate the sinking concrete during a free inspection. He took detailed notes and then discussed his findings with the homeowners. Installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe would capture water that had been pooling and direct it away from the concrete and home. To address the concrete that had already sunken, Elon recommended lifting the slabs with PolyLevel® Injection Foam. After lifting to an even level, the crew would seal the joints using NexusPro sealant and apply SealantPro, a protective layer. The homeowners approved of this repair plan and it was seen to completion by the teams of Fred and Rick.

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.

This home in Warren, MI was experiencing an issue with water in the basement. The homeowner heard from a neighbor that they had been struggling with the same type of problems. Knowing they would have to call a company just as their neighbor had, who better to call than the same company? They gathered the contact information and gave HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair a call.

The inspector, Elon, recommended a handful of products including a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This Before and After shows how important it is to have a functional sump pump. While HomeSpec was installing the new drainage system, the sump pump began to fill with water because the water that caused the homeowner concern was already being rerouted. Once the sump pump was fully installed and active, it was able to properly discharge the water out of the basement. Thanks to the work of HomeSpec’s crews, led by Foremen Vernon and Brandon, the basement is dry and the homeowner is happy! Happy enough to leave HomeSpec a five-star review!

Not all homes are going to be cookie-cutter rectangles. Some basements, like this one in Warren, MI have a plethora of angles that are all equally important to have waterproofed. Luckily, this homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair who is always up to the task.

The inspector, Elon, did a walkthrough of the home, discussed issues, and went over goals with the homeowner. Together, they decided that the best course would be to waterproof the walls and floors. This included an interior drainage system made of WaterGuard®, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, a sump pump discharge that has freeze protection, a wall vapor barrier using CleanSpace®, and ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring. HomeSpec’s crew was led by Foremen Vernon and Brandon to complete all of these projects at the same time. The work was completed in only a couple of days and the homeowner was very happy with the results. They were happy enough to give a five-star rating!
