Flat Rock's Leading Foundation & Crawl Space Encapsulation Contractors

A homeowner in Flat Rock, MI had been experiencing a persistent water leak through their egress in the basement, causing their floors to constantly be wet and the ground around their home to be inadequate. Additionally, they had noticed their gutter downspouts were not up to the standard of the rest of their home, resulting in poor water drainage around the foundation. Aware of the importance of proper downspout extensions, they decided to address this issue as well, in order to get their home back to standard.

The first step our Project Manager took was to thoroughly assess the homeowners situation. They inspected the egress area and identified where the cracks and openings were most prominent that allowed water to accumulate around the basement. After careful examination, he determined that a high-pressure urethane crack injection would be the most effective solution for this family.

To begin the process of sealing the egress leak, our crew prepared the affected areas. They cleaned the cracks with a high pressure water jet, ensuring there was no debris that could hinder the effectiveness of the injection. The High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection is specially formulated to penetrate deeply into the cracks, creating a strong, watertight seal. The high-pressure application ensures that the urethane mixture filled every nook and cranny, leaving no room for water to accumulate. Having successfully addressed the basement, our crew turned their attention to the next aspect of the project—the gutter downspouts. The solution was to install new downspout extensions to ensure the smooth flow of water away from the home. 

WIth the homeowners basement now fully waterproofed and the cracks sealed, they could rest easier knowing they wouldn't have to worry about egress leakage for many years to come.

A  homeowner who had recently moved into their home in Brownstown, MI was excited to have their basement as a recreational room for their family.. However, they soon discovered that the basement was starting to leak. This family had begun to notice water pooling on their basement floor every time it rained, and they just couldn't identify the source of the problem. Growing increasingly concerned about the potential for further damage, they called HomeSpec BasementFix to take a look.

Once our Project Manager arrived at the property and had started the inspection, they found a major crack in the corner of the wall, which was allowing water to seep into the basement and cause damage. Our Project Manager recommended that Ms. Jackson install a WaterGuard Drainage System to waterproof the basement and prevent any further issues in the future. The homeowner was hesitant at first, as they had never heard of the system before, but they decided to give it a try after our Project Manager explained the numerous benefits and permanency of the solution. 

When our crew arrived, they got straight to work. They started by excavating a small channel around the perimeter of the basement floor. Then, they installed the WaterGuard Drainage System, which is a specially designed channel that collects water and directs it to a sump pump for disposal. They also installed a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping through the walls. After a few hours of hard work, our crew had completed the installation. The family was amazed at how clean and efficient the installation process was and were also impressed with the WaterGuard Drainage System's sleek design, which was hardly noticeable on the basement floor.

A few weeks later, it rained heavily, and this homeowner eagerly checked the basement for any signs of water leakage. To their delight, the basement was completely dry. They were more than happy with the results and grateful to our crew for their exceptional work. They now had the peace of mind that the basement was protected from water damage and could enjoy their newly waterproofed basement for years to come.
