Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Troy, MI homeowner noticed a while ago that there were growing cracks in the foundation wall. They decided to have it fixed; however, after more time had gone by, the cracks began to worsen. The homeowner desired a permanent fix so they would not have to repair the same cracks again. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to receive a free inspection.

Ted, a senior project manager, went out to the home and investigated the cracks in question. After gauging the situation, he proposed a plan to the homeowner. He suggested drilling through the wall and using a high pressure urethane crack injection to fill any voids and completely seal the cracks. The homeowner agreed with this plan and later witnessed the completed project. Mike, a service technician, was in charge of this foundation wall crack repair and left the homeowner happy with the work.

A homeowner in Mount Clemens, MI had been experiencing the issue of a crack in their basement wall leaking for a number of years and finally wanted to have it sealed. They reached out to us for a solution and we recommended installing the Carbon Armor as well as filling the crack with High Powered Urethane Crack injection to prevent it from leaking in the future.

A Milford, MI homeowner was experiencing water in their basement during heavy rains. They had also noticed cracking in the foundation walls. They had been in the home for nearly ten years and wanted to ensure it was taken care of if they decided to sell in the future. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to inquire about a free inspection. After speaking with the call center team, they scheduled an appointment with a senior project manager named Erik. 

Erik visited the home and investigated where the water was entering from as well as any possible structural issues. After a thorough analysis, he returned to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan that fit their needs. Erik suggested installing an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® as well as installing a new basin. The homeowner agreed to this plan and a team was scheduled out to complete the work. 

This Michigan home had a very unique feature - a long window well along one entire side of their basement with a timber retaining wall. It was a beautiful feature and allowed for a large window in the basement bedroom that let in tons of natural light. But it came with a big problem: WATER. 

There was a high amount of water under the home and water would pool in the window well especially after heavy rain, so water was seeping into the basement. There was no interior drainage system to prevent this and only one sump pump on the other side of the large basement. There was also not proper drainage in the window well. These circumstances all led to a big headache for the homeowners and their finished basement. 

But our crew promptly solved this issue by installing an interior drainage system along the section of the basement that borders the window well, as well as installing exterior drainage in the window well. We also installed two brand new TripleSafe sump pumps to handle the high levels of water. To finish it off, we installed our Everlast™ Finished Wall Restoration System. These inorganic, mold-resistant wall panels replace the bottom 3 feet of the wall. This prevents the finished basement walls from becoming damaged by water while giving an appealing finished appearance to the room. 

This long-lasting solution will keep this finished basement dry and looking great for years to come, and the homeowners are very pleased! 

Like many people, these homeowners were plagued by a wet, humid basement. They had leaking cracks and rod holes that needed repairing as well. Many belongings were stored in their basement so they needed a reliable, permanent solution to fix their problem. That's where HomeSpec came in to save the day!

The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed to waterproof the basement. This was connected to a brand new TripleSafe sump pump since the one they had was quite outdated. Then a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed to keep the relative humidity at a healthy 55%. The homeowners also wanted a CleanSpace vapor barrier installed over the walls after the cracks and rod holes were sealed. This blocks humidity and water vapor from entering the basement.

HomeSpec gave this basement the ultimate protection from water issues, and the homeowners are very pleased that no water has leaked into their basement since!
