Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Damaged Basement in Ann Arbor, MI Restored with Waterproof Floors and Walls
A family moved into a house in Ann Arbor, MI about 8 years ago with the plan of making it their forever home. The parents turned the partially finished basement into an entertainment area for their child, where they could play and watch TV. Unfortunately, one day a parent ventured down into the basement where they saw water had damaged the carpet and drywall. While they could see the water damage, they could not see where the water was getting into the basement. They quickly became concerned about mold and other health issues that could impact their child. They contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help and set up a free inspection.
One of HomeSpec’s project managers went out to the home and discussed the homeowners’ concerns. They wanted to redo their basement so it was not only waterproofed but also finished again. They were on the search for a company that could do everything together instead of hiring several contractors and taking many months to complete the project. The project manager conducted their inspection and used the information gathered to create a repair plan that met all of the homeowner’s expectations. They recommended preventing water damage with an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® to connect to the existing sump pump and basin. Additionally, they suggested an UltraSump® Battery Backup System and injecting and sealing the rod holes to ensure their water concerns are controlled. To finish the basement, the project manager proposed installing waterproof flooring and walls such as ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring and Everlast Wall Restoration System. The homeowners approved of this plan and were eager to see it completed. It took multiple HomeSpec teams to tackle this multi-pronged plan and the family was happy with the finished results!
