Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: 1960s Saline, MI Home Has Basement Waterproofed

A couple in Saline, MI are the third owners of a home built in the 1960s. They moved into the home in the early 2000s and have experienced water infiltration throughout the years. It had not concerned them much before because the basement was being used as a storage room. However, as the couple ages it looks like a move to a retirement home and selling this home is fast approaching. Not only do they want to get the most amount of money for the home, but they also want to make sure that the next homeowners do not have to deal with water leaks, mold, or health issues associated with a moist environment. They got in contact with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what options were available. Yann, one of HomeSpec’s project managers, took a detailed account of the basement, small room in the basement, garage, and outside of the house to fully understand the situation. He was honest that there were quite a lot of things that the home would benefit from, starting with an interior drainage system consisting of WaterGuard®, TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe, Sump Pump, and sump discharge with freeze prevention. The small room in the basement could also use Mold-X2 to treat and prevent mold and a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to address moisture. As for the outside of the house, downspout extensions would help lead water from the gutters further away from the home’s foundation. The couple was in search of permanent solutions, and so they agreed to these suggestions from Yann. The plumbing aspects were handled by Marshall while the other repairs were done by a team led by foreman Brandon. The couple was happy with their now dry basement once the teams completed their work.
