Inkster, MI's Proven Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

A caring grandmother in Inkster, MI had been facing an ongoing issue that had cast a shadow over her basement, which doubled as a bedroom for her granddaughter. The situation had escalated to the point where water was seeping into her basement through various points where the walls met the floor, causing concern for the wellbeing of her granddaughter and the overall structural integrity of the basement.

When our experienced Project Manager arrived at the home, he began the free inspection in the basement where he could take a look at the problem areas. Upon inspection, it was evident that the water infiltration was manifesting in three distinct spots along the perimeter of the homeowners basement. Not only was this causing damage to the carpets laid down on the floor, but it had also affected the edges of the walls. The homeowners' worries were justified as the problem was not abating; if anything, the water ingress seemed to be intensifying. To alleviate their distress, our Project Manager at HomeSpec devised a custom solution to address the root cause of the issue and provide her with a lasting remedy. The plan involved the strategic implementation of a range of cutting-edge products, each tailored to address the specific issues of water infiltration.

Our crew initiated the process by installing WaterGuard, a specialized interior drainage system designed to capture and redirect water away from the basement. This trench-like channel was placed against the perimeter walls where water had been entering. The unique design of WaterGuard ensured that water was channeled to a SuperSump system, preventing it from pooling on the floor and causing further damage. To further fortify the basement against water intrusion, they integrated the SuperSump Plus system. This sump pump was equipped with an airtight lid and an efficient battery backup system to ensure operation even during power outages. The SuperSump Plus played a pivotal role in protection against flooding. For the cracks in the walls that were serving as entry points for water, our crew used High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection. This solution involved injecting a specialized urethane material into the cracks at a high pressure, effectively sealing them off and preventing any further water from entering. This method not only tackled the immediate problem but also ensured the long-term stability of the walls. To address the structural concerns caused by the water damage, our crew used the Carbon Fiber Power Grid system. This involved affixing carbon fiber strips to the compromised areas of the walls, effectively reinforcing them and preventing any bowing or cracking due to water-related stress. The Carbon Fiber Power Grid provided an added layer of protection against potential damage, ensuring the basement's structural integrity.

By the time our crew had completed the installation, the grandmother's basement had undergone a remarkable transformation. The combined usefulness of the WaterGuard system, SuperSump Plus, High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection, and Carbon Fiber Power Grid had not only resolved the issue but also provided her and her granddaughter with peace of mind. Her granddaughter could enjoy her basement sanctuary, now safeguarded against water-related concerns.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because a beam in the middle of his crawl space was low and needed to be replaced.

Our crew inserted a crawl space support post to stabilize the floor above and prevent any sagging. 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because her basement wall was buckling inward and had water seeping in. It also had several horizontal cracks as a result of the buckling. 

Our crew installed an interior drainage system to address the water issues, and installed beams to stabilize the walls and prevent more movement after sealing up the cracks. 

This homeowner had one crack and one rod hole in her basement that needed to be repaired.

She got an estimate from another company and they wanted to install a full interior drainage system with a sump pump.

HomeSpec ended up repairing the crack and the rod hole for her. Our crew injected them with our flexible polyurethane sealant that will never dry out or crack. 

This past customer discovered new rod holes and a horizontal crack that needed to be repaired.
