Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Interior & Exterior Waterproofing in Troy, MI
These homeowners have been in this Troy, MI home since 1989 and have no intention of selling. They noticed water coming through one corner of a room where the floor meets the wall and this water has caused a lot of damage to the carpet. Their goal is to renovate and make use of their Florida room but first, they had to find a solution to keep the water out. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.
The senior project manager, Erik, walked the property both inside and outside to gain true insight into the circumstances. To get rid of the leak and prevent new ones for this home, Erik recommended both interior and exterior waterproofing. The combination would keep water out of the home and pump any that did leak through away to a basin. While the exterior waterproofing is hidden by rocks and dirt, the homeowners liked the idea of covering the interior drainage system with a waterproof flooring known as ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring in the color gray. Once the decisions had been finalized by the homeowners, HomeSpec scheduled their teams for the installations. Because of the amount of work, HomeSpec used multiple teams led by foremen Vernon, Jim, and Jon. At the end of the work, the homeowners were happy with the results both in appearance and effectiveness.
