Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Hartland, MI Heals Basement Cracks with HomeSpec
A couple in Hartland, MI noticed that multiple basement wall cracks were appearing in their home. These homeowners also found cracks in their home’s foundation. They decided that the best course of action was to get a estimate for interior and exterior waterproofing. That is why they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.
HomeSpec’s project manager, Chris, visited the home to conduct an inspection. After carefully evaluating the cracks and having a discussion with the homeowners, he suggested cracks and rod holes repair. After explaining how the repair would be executed, the homeowners agreed and discussed the best time to have a crew proceed.
HomeSpec’s foreman, Domonique, led the team on this project. They used a urethane-based sealant to seal the crack and then used a polyurethane ether foam strip known as FlexiSpan® over the first seal. This material is not only flexible but does not dry or crack. Because of these properties, it creates a waterproof seal that moves with any wall movement and remains waterproofed. The final result looks like a compound joint. The homeowners were pleased with their repairs and the customer service from HomeSpec!
