Ann Arbor, MI Home Turns Sump Pump Discharge into Rain Garden

The Community Action Network in Ann Arbor was coordinating and paying for home rehabilitation for low-income households. This home was one of five that had been identified as needing new drainage in the crawl space. After the senior project manager, Erik, inspected the area and recommended more than just drainage to fully transform this home.

The representative and Erik decided together to install SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump System, SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe, and CleanSpace® to waterproof the crawl space, insulation using SilverGlo™, and a rain garden where the water is discharged. This combination would protect the home and provide a clean aesthetic both inside and out. Foreman Jon led the HomeSpec crew in the repairs and installation. The Community Action Network enjoyed working with HomeSpec on this project so much that they continued to work on other homes as well.
