The insulation in this Rockwood crawl space was in a very poor condition and looked incredibly messy, so the homeowner wanted it removed and the crawl space encapsulated instead. Encapsulation is much more efficient and reliable than old insulation that quickly loses its R-value over time. 

After the crawl space was cleaned and sealed with the encapsulation process, the homeowner immediately noticed a difference in her home. It was winter, but her floors felt warmer. The slight musty smell in the home also disappeared. She was so ecstatic to see and feel the effects of her newly encapsulated crawl space!  

These homeowners were having trouble with water pooling in their yard after rain, especially near their foundation. Then they noticed that their basement was wet and a crack in the wall was leaking. They were worried it was due to the poor drainage in their yard, so they graded the ground to slope away from the foundation. The basement was still leaking though, so they called HomeSpec. 

Our crew installed an interior drainage system with a sump pump to waterproof the basement and ensure these homeowners won't have to deal with this problem again. We also buried the sump's discharge line and extended it to the fence, so water won't be able to pool around the foundation. 

These Hamtramck homeowners bought an old fixer upper as their first home. Before the renovations, they had to address any structural problems with the bones of the home. They thought they were prepared for anything to happen, until an inspection revealed major water issues in the basement. There were signs of water damage that showed the basement had flooded often in the past - including paint bubbling on the brick walls, rotting wood flooring, and rusted support posts. 

The HomeSpec team had to address each and every problem. First, the basement obviously needed a sump pump considering the amount of water that needed to be handled. Secondly, there needed to be an interior drainage system to collect the water from around the perimeter and deposit it into the sump basin. Thirdly, the walls needed a vapor barrier installed over them. This would prevent water vapor and moisture from entering the basement, and instead direct it down into the drainage system. Lastly, the homeowners wanted a dehumidifier installed to control the moisture in the air and prevent mold growth. These 4 things work seamlessly together to tackle wet basements. 

The waterproofing was done quickly, and the homeowners were able to continue their renovations without having to worry about the water issues any longer. 

These Ecorse homeowners contacted HomeSpec to repair the cracked, uneven, and unsightly concrete around their home - including the driveway and the walkway. 

HomeSpec used the PolyLevel system to eliminate tripping hazards by raising the sinking concrete slabs. The concrete specialists then injected the cracks with our NexusPro sealant. 

The concrete around the home now looks new and fresh, and the homeowners were ecstatic about how cost-effective and easy the repairs were. 

This Melvindale crawl space was very wet and musty. There was no sump pump installed, and no vapor barrier over the walls over exposed ground to keep out moisture, so the humidity levels were high. The homeowners could smell it from the rest of their home, so they called HomeSpec to make it better. 

Our crew of experts installed a new sump pump and encapsulated the crawl space by completely sealing it off from the outside. A dehumidifier was also installed to maintain a healthy 55% relative humidity to prevent mold and rot. 

These homeowners now have a dry, healthy, smell-free crawl space. 

Bill R., a Northville, Michigan homeowner, contacted HomeSpec after a weekend of heavy rains resulted in a wet basement issue. Bill couldn't tell where the water was coming from since there was carpet over the floor and paneling over the walls, so we sent out our inspector Ben Gabowitz. 

Ben discovered that the water was seeping in at the joint where the floor and the wall meet, which is a very common occurrence. Bill wanted the basement waterproof ASAP so he didn't have to worry about water damage after a bad storm again. 

So foreman Jerry Blevins and his crew got to work waterproofing the basement. They installed a WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system collects water before it leaks into the basement, and funnels it away from the foundation. 

Bill was easily able to re-install the carpet and paneling in the basement over the system without any interruption. He was very happy with the end results! 

A Garden City, Michigan homeowner reached out to HomeSpec after discovering several leaking cracks in his basement. This happened after a bad storm hit the area.

This Westland, Michigan homeowner contacted HomeSpec after discovering a flooded crawl space. The crawl space often had high moisture already and gave off a musty smell, but this was the first time it fully flooded. The homeowner wanted it waterproofed and encapsulated to prevent it from happening again and eliminate the nasty smells. 

Our crew installed an Interior Drainage System connected to a Sump Pump to waterproof the crawl space. Then the space was sealed off completely from the outside with a Vapor Barrier and Insulation. This prevents moisture from seeping into the space and the sump pump funnels the water far from the home. Lastly, a Dehumidifier was installed to maintain a healthy relative humidity and prevent condensation. 

The homeowner noticed an immediate difference in the smell of her home and the humidity levels. She was so happy with her healthy new crawl space! 

This Canton, Michigan homeowner contacted HomeSpec because an inch of water recently flooded into his basement. He normally experienced small water seepages in the spring and summertime after storms, but this was the first flood. Because of the moist basement, the homeowner also complained about a damp smell that comes from downstairs every year. 

To solve this problem, HomeSpec installed a full waterproofing system. This includes an Interior Drainage System, Sump Pump, Vapor Barrier and Dehumidifier. These work together to capture water and funnel it away from the home before it floods or leaks. The dehumidifier maintains a healthy relative humidity and constantly conditions the air. 

The homeowner was so happy to finally have a healthy basement. He mentioned that he noticed an immediate difference in the humidity and smell of the home after the installation was complete. After the recent heavy rains, the system kept the basement completely dry!

These homeowners in Dearborn, Michigan contacted HomeSpec looking for answers to their wet basement problems. Like many homeowners, they tried covering their leaking basement walls with Dryloc paint (which claims to waterproof walls) and the paint simply peeled off. 

The homeowners continued to experience water issues especially after rains, including discoloration of the wall and a musty smell protruding from the basement. A lot of people try to DIY their waterproofing with the waterproof paint - which would be a great fix it it worked. But serious water issues call for a serious solution - which is where HomeSpec can help. 

Our team installed a French Drain System around the perimeter of the basement to trap incoming water before it can leak in - which is then deposited into the Sump Pump to send the water far away from the home. The homeowners also wanted a Vapor Barrier installed over the walls to hide the unsightly discoloration and direct moisture down into the drainage channel. 

Now the homeowner have a permanent solution to their wet basement woes, and don't have to worry about damp walls or musty smells any longer! 

Jenny C. in Garden City, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after several heavy rains over the summer left her with a very wet and musty basement. 

Since she owned the home it had not leaked, but after the high amounts of rainfall Michigan residents encountered in 2021, Jenny realized that she too had a wet basement problem. 

The water was seeping in where the floor and the wall meet - a common culprit. Jenny wanted her basement waterproofed permanently and from the inside to avoid excavating around the foundation - which can be costly and messy. 

HomeSpec's solution was to install a French Drain System around the perimeter of the basement just below the floor. The drainage channels collect the water sneaking in before it can leak into the basement. This is a common and favorite solution in waterproofing because it installs with minimal disruption to the basement space and can be covered by flooring and wall panels. 

We also installed a Sump Pump with a backup pump and Dehumidifier to ensure the basement would remain dry and healthy even during the most severe weather. 

Jenny was very happy with the entire experience from her first call to the cleanup process, and she was glad she chose HomeSpec! 

This homeowner in Wayne, Michigan contacted HomeSpec about repairing their crawl space. It had been infested with rats, collecting moisture, and simply a nasty mess. They had no idea what was going on down there until they opened it up for the first time to deal with the rat problem, and they were shocked. 

HomeSpec was able to transform this crawl space into a clean, dry, usable space with one simple system – Crawl Space Encapsulation. After the debris was removed and everything was cleaned, the floor and the walls were sealed with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. A rigid foam insulation was used to seal any other air leaks. This prevents pests from intruding as well as water vapor and moisture. Lastly, a powerful SaniDry Dehumidifier was installed to condition the air and maintain a healthy 55% relative humidity – to prevent mold, mildew and rot (and musty smells). 

This homeowner in Taylor, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec over concerns with their basement. In the summer, they would experience very high humidity levels and no dehumidifier they tried could help. In the winter, they would experience cold floors indicating that they needed better insulation. 

Humidity in basements is dangerous because it can cause moisture which will lead to mold, mildew, rotting joists and musty smells. The damage and repairs for these can be costly. 

HomeSpec remedied the issue by installing our powerful, high-efficiency SaniDry Dehumidifier. This constantly conditions the air while maintaining a healthy 55% relative humidity – all while saving energy and costs. 

HomeSpec also installed our ZenWall™ insulated panels – which look great and keep the basement warm in the cold Michigan winters. They are washable and drywall or wall panels can easily be installed over them for a finished basement!

These Taylor homeowners are very happy with their dry, healthy basement! 

These Grosse Pointe Farms homeowners reached out to HomeSpec after something devastating happened – a city sewer backup caused their basement to flood and everything down there was destroyed. All paneling and carpet had to be torn up and thrown away. After the summer floods, this unfortunately happened to many families in Metro Detroit. 

The homeowners were interested in waterproof flooring and wall products to prevent the devastating damage and costly repairs from occurring again. This is why HomeSpec installed our Everlast™ Finished Wall Restoration System – this replaces the bottom half of a finished wall. It is made of inorganic materials making it waterproof and difficult for water to damage. It even adds insulation to the basement while providing a timeless look!

Next, our ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring was installed – these are faux-wood planks made of waterproof inorganic materials making the floor water and mold-resistant! These pair perfectly with the wall product to create a beautiful, waterproofed basement!

This homeowner in Dearborn, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because her basement leaked after the recent heavy rains. The water was coming from the bottom of the walls and the walls were constantly damp. This led to the paint on the walls bubbling and efflorescence on the blocks (loss of lime salt). 

The homeowner wanted an interior French Drain System installed, which is exactly what they needed. With the drainage system installed around the perimeter of the basement, it would capture water before it leaks into the basement. We also installed a Vapor Barrier to the walls to block moisture and water vapor from intruding, and instead direct it into the drainage system.  

This homeowner in Westland, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because his concrete driveway slabs were cracked and sinking, so they needed concrete leveling. They were previously mudjacked about 6 years ago, but they were already in bad shape again, so wanted to find a better method. 

HomeSpec introduced him to the PolyLevel method – which is longer-lasting, more cost-effective and less abrasive than other concrete repair and slab jacking methods. 

During this repair process, a polyurethane foam is injected below the concrete slabs. As it expands, the slab is raised and leveled. The material is high-density, stable and strong, meaning it won't break down over time. Making this the ideal concrete raising solution.

After the homeowner's driveway slabs were leveled, the cracked were filled and the concrete was sealed to protect the surface. He was extremely happy with the quick process, and his great-looking driveway! 

A family in Canton, Michigan had experienced issues over the years with a few different sump pumps. The pumps would burn out, stop working, or wouldn’t be functional in a power outage leading to their basement flooding with water. The family reported that at least once a year they would have to use a shop vac and a series of fans to dry their basement for over a week. Increasingly frustrated, and confused by this regular problem, the family reached out for expert help from HomeSpec. 

HomeSpec’s Bobby Whitus sat down with the family to hear their retelling of events before conducting a thorough investigation of his own. It seemed that the first sump pump used was simply aged out and became faulty over time; another one had fried during a power outage, and a third failed to activate during a power outage letting the water level of the drainage well overflow. A series of unfortunate events had plagued this family and exhausted them.
Bobby presented an ideal solution for the family when he recommended the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. As the name suggests, this system uses 3 pumps, a powerful primary 1/3 hp pump to handle traditional needs, a secondary 1/2 pump to help offset extreme cases of rising water levels as well as to serve as a backup should the first fail, and the third pump as a battery powered backup system in case of a power outage or other emergency that could hinder the first two while being capable of discharging up to 11,500 gallons of water on a single charge. A proven and long-lasting solution for basement water problems.

Even the most efficiently waterproofed basements can still feel damp at times, so a final touch for the sake of comfortability and assurance was needed. That last touch being a proper dehumidifier. Using the SaniDry Sedona basement dehumidifier, a size efficient solution (so much so that it can also be used as a crawlspace dehumidifier if the situation called) that costs less than other basement dehumidifiers and being capable of automatic drainage and humidity sensing, allows for a low maintenance, long lasting way to make the once incredibly damaged basement, comfortable again.

The family finally felt confident that they had a series of solutions in place with TripleSafe. Whether the problem be large storms, power outages, or otherwise, they could finally breathe easier with a comfortable, waterproofed basement.

A Canton homeowner wanted to maximize the resale value of their home and wanted to ensure everything was in top shape. As they worked through the home, they noticed peculiar stained circular holes in the basement walls. Concerned, and not sure how to approach the problem, the homeowner reached out to HomeSpec to investigate and provide a solution.

Our crew heard out the homeowner’s concerns and explained that these were rod holes. When the foundation of the basement was originally poured during construction of a home, rods were used to hold the forms together until the concrete had cured. At which point the rods are removed, leaving holes to be filled with balls of hydraulic cement.

The problem is that these fillings often still have cavities that water will find its way through and wear away at causing leaks, as well as being known to fail over time, often resulting in discolored stains along the walls as a result.

Most, companies would want to put a simple band-aid on the problem with the fulcrum method, but that’s a temporary fix that may fail over time similar to how the hydraulic cement did.

HomeSpec wants to make sure we provide long-lasting, reliable solutions. Our crew began by using a water swelling hydrophobic polyurethane grout made from materials that absorb and repel water, before filling the gaps with Seal-Boss foam as well, and another hydrophobic polyurethane grout to top it off flush against the walls surface. Finally, surface bonding material is smoothly applied to give the whole project a cosmetically appealing finish.

A simple, clean, and cost-effective solution was provided to meet all the homeowners needs for basement waterproofing and foundation repair within a reasonable timeframe.

A family had just moved into a home in Allen Park, Mi, and were looking forward to unpacking and settling into their new accommodations. However, it didn't take long for them to notice that their chimney cleanout had water leaking through it and down the walls when it rained.  They had crack repair work and general waterproofing done by HomeSpec Basementfix in the past and decided to reach out again for their new home.                                                          

Accordingly, Bobby Whitus was sent to meet with the family, having worked together before, his presence was a reassurance for them. They showed him the leak situation around the cleanout door, and bobby began a thorough inspection. Through his inspection, Bobby was able to propose a proper plan to solve the family's problems. That plan being to install a sub-floor drainage with 4' of BrightWall waterproof panels over the chimney cleanout. From there they would have the water discharge to a sump basin or floor drain to seamlessly prevent any repeat incidents.                                              

The BrightWall panel system consists of semi-rigid waterproof plastic panels that fasten mechanically to the walls. They can't be pushed off by moisture coming through, will never rot or discolor, and water that passes through the wall from cracks or other penetrations will run behind the panel down to the perimeter drainage system below, with a clean and bright white finish for aesthetic appeal.                            

Not only were the homeowners able to waterproof their basement with this solution, but their walls ended up looking even better than when the project started!

A homeowner in Allen Park, Mi had a persistent problem of water coming through where he believed the walls of his basement met the floor. He first decided to consult a plumber friend of his on the situation, who in turn advised to contact a waterproofing specialist. The search for a basement waterproofing specialist near Allen Park, is what led them to get in contact with HomeSpec Basementfix.            

Keith Brown was introduced as our representative of choice. Keith conducted a thorough inspection and discovered a series of thin cracks behind furniture, located low near the ground.                                                    

This would prove to be a quick and simple fix with the application of FlexiSpan, a specially designed hydrophobic sealant that can move alongside a walls natural shifting movement over time, to ensure a permanent waterproofed solution for any basement or foundation.                                                                                          

The homeowner’s fears of needing foundation repair work, or severe waterproofing, was mitigated by Keith's keen eye and reassurance throughout the process. They were able to breathe a sigh of relief when they realized it was a simple crack repair job.

A family in Taylor, Mi was trying to sell their home, but kept getting lower offers due to the state of their crawl space, deducting from the value. It's not that there was any standing water in the crawl space, but there was a lot of debris, sheet metal, and nothing to separate the dirt ground from the rest of the house. This became extra prevalent because of the relatively easily accessible nature of their particular crawl space. Tired of being low balled on offers because of this consistent issue, they needed to find someone in the Taylor area who specialized in crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation. They needed HomeSpec.                                         

Jesse was the representative sent to meet with and help the family. with their property problems. The homeowners explained their frustrations with selling the home stemming from the value being reduced due to the state of the crawl space, a story HomeSpec is well familiar with by now. Afterall, why sell at a lower value with concessions being made, when you can have the work done and increase the overall value to your benefit? This was a straightforward task to get the crawl space cleaned, repaired, and encapsulated.        

Our crew set to work to remove debris and sheet metal littering the crawl space, ensuring a nice safe working environment. Jesse's inspection didn't reveal any cracks or foundation repair needs, so it was time to begin encapsulation. To fulfill that need, CleanSpace liner was used. CleanSpace is manufactured in 7 layers with a mix of high- and low-density polyethylene for puncture resistance and flexibility, respectively. CleanSpace encapsulation is permanently held in place with drilled-in fasteners and addresses all major concerns that come with a crawl space. Jesse had noted the two concrete support piers in the crawl space, which would also need to be carefully wrapped and sealed off, not being conscious of the slight change to encapsulation methodology this brings, could have resulted to the owner’s detriment. Thankfully, HomeSpec's representatives are the best of the best.            

Dirt crawl spaces left to go wild have a variety of negative effects including high humidity and condensation, wood rot, vegetation, pests, cold floors and higher heating costs, odor, and generally unhealthy and comfortable living spaces. By getting this work done, to address all these problems and make for a cleaner, more presentable presentation and inspection process for prospective buyers, this Taylor family was able to maximize their homes value.

This homeowner in Wayne Mi. had noticed a slight uptake in their energy bills over the years, but their home never felt the right temperature and felt as if there was always a draft.

Project manager, Robert, used his expertise to conduct a thorough inspection of the house, which ultimately led him to their crawl space. That's where he found their aged and failing fiberglass insulation to be the problem, not to mention the debris and random sheet metal scattered about. While fiberglass batt insulation is the cheapest and easiest DIY choice for insulating the crawl space, there are several problems with using fiberglass batts in a vented crawl space including. Fiberglass can absorb water and lose its R-value when wet, air can easily pass through it, leading to uncomfortable living conditions and decayed or wet fiberglass insulation can lead to mold and other health hazards.

Robert recommended SilverGlo insulation. SilverGlo features a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into your crawl space for energy savings and is made with a mix of polystyrene foam and graphite to resist heat flow. This allows the material to make the crawl space and floors above them warmer in the winter, especially crawl spaces with ducts, like these homeowners.

The crew cleaned out the crawl space, removing debris and replacing the failing old fiberglass insulation with the shiny SilverGlo insulation. The homeowners were happy to report a more notably more comfortable living condition after the installation of this heat-reflective insulation. If your energy bill has been increasing, but your home still feels uncomfortable or drafty, it may be worth looking into reinsulating your crawl space.

A Dearborn Heights, Mi homeowner was growing tired of water leaking into his basement from an unknown source. He'd been wanting to convert the space into a recreational room to relax in after long work hours for a while. However, constant water damage and general wet basement problems prevented him from reaching his goal at every turn. He needed a specialist in basement waterproofing near Dearborn Heights. A coworker of theirs who had previous work done, put him in touch with HomeSpec BasementFix.

HomeSpec had Elon Williams meet with this homeowner. After a brief introduction, Elon heard out the list of concerns the homeowner had, before describing what he would be looking for as part of his investigation into the cause of these leaks. Once the inspection was concluded, Elon was able to report that he had found evidence of water coming through the walls from multiple locations and cracks behind the drywall and along the edges of the floor as well. He also determined the current gutter wasn't directing waterflow correctly, and was most like dumping water too close to the windows or letting it seep in.

Elon proposed installing the WaterGuard piping system and extending their drainage system by 50 ft to handle the water coming through. However, he noted that before anything else could be done, the current carpeting would have to be removed due to its repeated water damage and possibility of mold growth underneath.

Jon Davis was the head foreman tasked with implementing this plan. They began with removal of the wet carpet and disinfecting the area to create a safer work and living environment alike. NexusPro crack repair sealant was used on the cracks, a specially engineered silicone-based sealant with high durability. This sealant proves to be unlike others by being UV resistant, meaning it won't bubble, crack or dry. The next step was to install the WaterGuard drainage system, which would intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it unseen safely away. A customizable solution, that works with all types of foundations while being a non-clogging alternative to other piping systems.

Once these solutions were in place, the team also rerouted the gutter downspouts over the back fence and buried the extensions for a clean finish. Finally, to ensure the space would be comfortable for the owner's desired recreational dreams, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed as a last touch. A small, yet powerful dehumidifier that eliminates damp, musty odors in the basement by drying and filtering the air, considered to be the world's most powerful dehumidifier for its size, while also being small enough to be used as a crawl space dehumidifier as needed.

The homeowner was excited by the finished job, and the prospect of being able to functionally use his newly waterproofed basement for his leisure. Not only that, but his coworker’s referral saved him money on the final cost.

A couple in Northville, Mi had noticed that their driveway had sunk overtime, and was becoming a tripping hazard for themselves, as well as their kids. Leaving the problem for as long as they had led to it worsening with time, they knew they needed immediate action, and a long-term solution for the safety of their family. They needed a concrete lifting and leveling specialist that serviced Northville, that could deliver reliable results.  That's the situation that put them in touch with HomeSpec, and subsequently with our representative Anthony.  Anthony met with the family and conducted an inspection of the property to ensure that there weren't any other possible concerns, or situations that may cause the family concern down the line. Determining that there wasn't anything needed beyond addressing the sinking driveway, he proposed using our PolyLevel system and Nexus Pro joint sealant to address the job.   

PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. After using the PolyLevel system to address the immediate need, our crew would seal cracks and joints in the driveway with NexusPro joint sealant to keep out water that could soften and was away the soil underneath to repeat the problem. Using these two in conjunction, provides a proper solution, that is long-lasting, and reliable.

Many years ago, this Dearborn Heights, Mi homeowner had her foundation walls braced by HomeSpec, still standing strong. Fast forward to the modern day, and time had caused an issue where water was coming up from her floor. Recalling the reliable foundation work done before, she reached out to HomeSpec as a basement waterproofing contractor, with faith that we'd provide a long-term solution once again.

Mark was our chosen representative, who set out to have a discussion with the homeowner and conduct a thorough inspection to determine the best possible solution set for her. In this case, the solution would be two-fold. Firstly, she needed a proper drainage system to address water leakages and general basement waterproofing. To catch the water at the perimeter and drain it away discreetly and effectively, our crew installed the WaterGuard custom engineered piping solution. This system would drain into an existing basin that needed its sump pump swapped, after discovering it had burnt out. To that end, we introduced a Zoeller Pump.

Now that they had both a proper drainage system, and a basement sump pump working in tandem, addressing the exact area of concern around the perimeter of the basement, the homeowner could rest assured with their new basement waterproofing. She wouldn’t have to worry about any wet basement problems anymore, and could enjoy using her now dry basement

This homeowner in Livonia, Mi, would constantly get an extremely strong unpleasant odor spreading throughout their entire house whenever their central air would turn on. They had a solid understanding of the contributing factors an unsecured crawl space could have in causing the problem, from having worked in home construction in the past. They also understood that even when inquiring about a crawl space dehumidifier, it was best to have the crawl space professionally inspected by a reliable contractor in the area. Unsatisfied with past service from the competition, he reached out to HomeSpec Basementfix to address the problem.                       

 Project manager Jesse explored the crawl space to confirm the homeowner's concerns and agreed that the current condition of the crawl space was the most likely culprit of the awful smell spreading through the house. While a crawl space dehumidifier could help improve their general health and quality of life, to properly address the problem at the root would require crawl space encapsulation.        

Our crew would follow the outlined plan, as agreed to by the homeowner. First, removing debris, leveling the area somewhat, and treating the worksite with proper disinfectant. Next would come the crawl space encapsulation proper via the CleanSpace system; a 20 mil-thick-liner manufactured in 7 layers consisting of a mix of both low- and high-density polyethylene blends for both durability and flexibility. With its antimicrobial additive woven into the material, it ensures no new mold growth and less pests. Our team was careful to ensure support piers were properly wrapped in the area, and sealed airtight, leaving the crawl space with a healthy vibrant white finish. Finally, the Sani-Dry Sedona crawl space dehumidifier was added in, with its "Duet" filter which efficiently removes mold spores, dust mite droppings (the number 1 allergen cause), dust and other particulates from the air with a large MERV 8 filter with carbon for the odor reduction the homeowner wanted.         

With the combination of the Dehumidifier and Encapsulation, the homeowner's immediate concerns were handled as well as futureproofed to ensure long lasting comfort.

This Westland, Mi homeowner needed their unbalanced back patio leveled; the concrete that it was sitting on was sinking on one side, causing the entire patio to become uneven.  As time would go on, the problem only became more and more apparent, with cracks starting to form in the concrete, until they couldn't put it off any longer. They needed a concrete leveling specialist that would service Westland, Mi. A search that quickly led them to HomeSpec Basementfix.   

Project Manager Isiah, met with the family and conducted an inspection to confirm their worries. Thankfully, we had the perfect solution for this concrete leveling and repair job. Our crew would use the PolyLevel system, which lifts and levels concrete slabs with powerful polyurethane foam. Basically, pea-sized holes are drilled into the slab and the foam is injected to fill the void underneath. The installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, perfectly, lifting the slab back up into place. The NexusPro Joint sealant would secure and seal the cracks and joints far better than traditional polyurethan caulking, through UV resistance, higher pliability, and thermal protection for the changing seasons.             

Everything was quickly, and satisfyingly returned to their correct position without incident. Now the homeowner, could walk on their patio without feeling like the world was tilting over.

At first glance on the outside, a concrete leveling need wasn't readily apparent for this Livonia, Mi house. However, as its residents could tell you, the issue would become readily apparent once you stepped inside the home itself. The walls had been separating from the floors all throughout the home in various rooms and hallways. Now, where the walls would normally be flush against the floor, were instead large cracks and gaps. The reason for this drastic issue over time was the fact that the house was built on a concrete slab, which had started to sink along with the house due to the natural movement of the soil underneath. Concrete is often poured over loose, weak, or backfill soil at construction, and over time the soil can settle, shrink in dry conditions, and soften or wash away completely as water runs through cracks and joints.

Project Manager Dave was able to recognize this problem early on in his inspection due to past circumstances, helping to explain the cause by using his past experience as a clear example. Once the homeowners understood the need was primarily to have a concrete leveling specialist in the Livonia, Mi area adjust the slab reliably back to level. Dave explained how our PolyLevel system would be best utilized to give them peace of mind. PolyLevel lifts and levels concrete slabs with powerful polyurethane foam. Basically, pea-sized holes are drilled into the slab and the foam is injected to fill the void underneath. The installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, perfectly, lifting the slab back up into place.

After a short installation process, the homeowners noticed a drastic difference in their situation within an hour of completion, returning to them a long-lost sense of security.

This happy new homeowner had purchased a home in Belleville, Mi from someone who had an inspection done by HomeSpec and were made aware of its needs for a new sump discharge line and crawl space encapsulation. Wanting to ensure comfortable future in their new home, they got in touch with us to conduct the work brought up in the previous inspection and proposal.                                            

Project manager Jesse ensured the work to be done and double-checked the work proposal along with the new homeowner. After that, our crew would get to work, first installing a new sump discharge, leading farther out from the house as a precaution before it could become a possible problem for the homeowner. Our crew would remove debris, and level the crawl space to a reasonable extent, taking note of support piers as they went. They would then install the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system; a 20 mil-thick-liner manufactured in 7 layers consisting of a mix of both low- and high-density polyethylene blends for both durability and flexibility. With its antimicrobial additive woven into the material, it ensures no new mold growth and less pests. We took extra care, to carefully wrap the previously mentioned piers and make sure they were sealed airtight.                                      

With all required work done, this homeowner could truly enjoy life in their new abode with ease.

This Westland, Michigan homeowner's driveway slabs had been shifting, sinking, and cracking for quite some time, creating a notably dangerous tripping hazard that was only going to grow worse over time. He realized that this was going to become a growing concern for himself, his family, and any guests visiting, and that it needed to be addressed once and for all. He began looking for concrete leveling contractors and specialists who service Ann Arbor, ultimately reaching out to HomeSpec.                                                     

 Our crew were efficient and effective in their chosen solution set, heading out and completing the job the same day. We used our PolyLevel system to correct the sinking slabs and realign them to the proper level, a far more reliable solution than traditional mudjacking with longer-lasting results. Using expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. After using the PolyLevel system to address the immediate need, our crew would seal cracks and joints in the driveway with NexusPro joint sealant to keep out water that could soften and was away the soil underneath to repeat the problem. This sealant is both UV and weather resistant, ensuring a long-lasting finish.                                                  

Now, the homeowner could finally feel secure on their own property again, without worrying if anyone may accidentally get injured.

A Westland, Mi homeowner discovered a series of cracks in the driveway spreading over time. They wanted to have the concrete cracks repaired, but more importantly, they wanted to understand the cause and prevent it from reoccurring in the future. Searching for a cracked concrete driveway repair specialist in the Westland, Mi area helped introduce them to HomeSpec's project manager Justin.

Justin conducted an inspection of the property and problem area, to understand the scope of the situation and provide the explanation that this homeowner needed. The likeliest culprit in this case was their downspout. The downspout in question released water into a small dirt box almost directly next to the house and driveway. Water will always find the path of least resistance, whether that be settling, shifted soil in a dirt box, or gaps and cracks in concrete. As the water spread it was likely causing cracks in the driveway, which in turn would cause the slabs to shift and continue to crack one another like a domino effect. The best solution in this case would be to first extend the downspout out further away from the house, and then address/seal the current driveway cracks.

Our crew would dig out the dirt box the downspout originally drained into and run a small piping system under it to lead the water out towards a designated basin further away from the home, than reburying the box, thus cleanly hiding the extension and properly reconnecting the downspout to the extension. The next focus would be the concrete repair work needed on the driveway cracks, which were quickly addressed with NexusPro sealant, a more durable and reliant weatherproof sealant than traditional caulking.

The homeowner was happy to have been able to work with someone who'd walk her through the process and explain the causes of the problem for her understanding.

A familiar story in the area, is that of homeowners finding water getting into their basement but are unsure of the source. That's the exact situation this Canton, Mi homeowner found herself in, as water would pool around the edges of her unfinished poured concrete basement. It was happening frequently enough to heavily damage and stain her walls, too! It was clear if she ever intended to do anything at all with her basement in the future, she'd first need to handle her basement waterproofing needs. She needed to find a basement waterproofing contractor near Canton, Mi, that could help her with a customized solution. To that end, her coworker referred her to HomeSpec Basementfix.                    

In turn, we sent out representative Mark Buhr, to discuss her situation and related needs. Mark conducted a thorough investigation of the property to help determine what solution set would fit this homeowner the best. Due to the nature of the prolonged water damage on the walls and the way the water pooled at the edges, he proposed wall paneling and a proper drainage system to be installed.                                           

 In order to adhere a custom drainage system to the perimeter of the basement, the WaterGuard piping system was selected and installed by our crew. WaterGuard is a French drain designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps the drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. The water would collect and drain into a new discharge leading to an existing basin. While the WaterGuard was being installed, our crew was extra careful to temporarily move the laundry tub and hot water tank to be reinstalled once the job was done. In front of the drainage system, we installed our BightWall system. BrightWall is a rigid plastic sheeting that's attached to your basement wall by drilled-in plastic fasteners and provides a fully waterproof solution and creates a vapor barrier on the basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity, ensuring the homeowner won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. BrightWall provides a lively, clean look to the space while it also directs water seepage into the perimeter drain. Finally, the laundry tub and hot water tank were reinstalled, and the entire worksite was cleaned up, so the finished job looked even cleaner than when we arrived.                                  

This homeowner discovered that more complicated issues often require more personalized solutions, and HomeSpec is happy to deliver. As a happy bonus benefit, her job was even discounted due to her friend’s referral!

A family had only recently purchased this home in Detroit, Mi, together. However, they discovered that the house was settling and had created a large crack in the basement. The crack in the wall was horizontal with no water coming through yet; however, the house was noted to be shifting quite a bit and would require immediate inspection. Their grandparents had previous foundation repair and PolyLevel work done in Detroit by HomeSpec Basementfix and referred them to us.                  

Project manager Mark sat down with the couple to address their worries before conducting his inspection of the property. The family was originally hoping that a PolyLevel job might be possible, but the problem had evolved beyond house leveling and foundation repair; this task was more focused on structural support. Mark proposed the use of the PowerBrace Foundation Repair System. Consisting of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to the home.                                        

 Now, with reliable wall stabilization to assist their foundation, this family could put away their fear of the house caving in on itself, and simply enjoy life. Not to mention, they even had their job discounted because of their grandparent’s referral!

A Plymouth, Mi homeowner was growing tired of tripping over their own driveway constantly. The driveway was sunken and uneven, sloping in on itself to the point that water would collect there and continue to worsen the problem over time. The need for a concrete leveling contractor or a driveway crack repair specialist led him to being to our project manager, Benjamin. Benjamin was able to inspect the situation firsthand, and noted to the homeowner that simply sealing cracks, wouldn't be enough; first, they would need to level the concrete back into alignment with the other slabs.                            

Our crew would address this situation using the PolyLevel injection system. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface, a lightweight but powerful long-term solution, that's often found to be more effective than traditional mudjacking. Once the PolyLevel was cured, it was ready to be used within 15 minutes, allowing our crew to seal the cracks with the climate and UV-resistant NexusPro sealant along the concrete cracks and joints alike.                     

An efficient and reliable solution that was all accomplished in a single afternoon, helped ensure a satisfied client.

This homeowner in Redford, Mi discovered his backyard patio to be tilting towards his home and believed that to be the cause of water leaking into his basement. Believing he would need a concrete leveling specialist or a basement waterproofing contractor near Redford, he compared his options before reaching out to HomeSpec Basementfix as his company of choice.   

Project manager Erik was the specialist who met with the homeowner and conducted the job site inspection of the problem. However, our inspection uncovered that there was no need for concrete leveling, PolyLevel or otherwise, and that there was a different cause for his wet basement problem. It turned out this homeowner actually had a few large vertical cracks hidden behind a bookshelf that were letting water in. A surprise to be sure, but a much simpler fix overall.                            

Our crew would use a high-pressure urethane crack injection to fill out the cracks, while installing a carbon fiber grid along horizontal slits placed along the cracks to prevent any future spread over time and ensure stability. The injection would prove to be a permanent waterproofing solution, and effective sealant, as our team would pave over the finished work for a clean look.                              

This homeowner was more than grateful that his fears about needing foundation repair or heavier work were unfounded, ultimately only needing simple basement crack repairs, and that he reached out to an honest company like HomeSpec for a solution

This homeowner in Livonia, Mi noticed their floors sagging over time and began to worry that the support beams may be failing. They feared the floor may cave in on itself if they didn’t address their foundation support concerns and had their crawl space properly examined. However, thought they were informed that they had a crawl space when they bought the house years ago, they had no idea how to access it, or go about addressing the problem in general. They needed to find a reliable foundation repair contractor that had experience with crawl spaces. After some research, they felt comfortable in reaching out to HomeSpec.

Project manager Jesse was able to find the crawl space access hidden in a closet, through his inspection of the property. There wasn't a lot of room to work with, but it was quickly confirmed that there was a large amount of standing water in the crawl space that would need to be pumped out immediately. Our crew set to work to drain out the crawl space of all the standing water, before installing the SmartJack crawl space support system to help stabilize the foundation. This system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.

In Plymouth, Mi, a long-time homeowner had a unique standing garage in his backyard. However, over the course of a few years he’d noticed the garage settling and sinking approximately 3 inches. There was a large slope right behind it, where water was washing out and eroding away. The foundation that the garage was built on was most likely a poorly constructed trench system that needed correction. The sinking of the garage unit had also caused cracks to appear on previously caulked sides of the structure as well. His family had a growing concern that if left unattended, the situation could get drastically worse as the sharp grade continued to slope and the structure continued to sink and crack. Foundation support and preventative measures were clearly needed.

Project Manager Mark, met with the homeowner to monitor and inspect the situation, at the homeowners request for an experienced foundation repair specialist. Mark agreed that it would be in everyone’s best interest to take steps to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, and proposed using the helical pier support system to help restabilize the structure focused around the sinking corner. Explaining the process in detail to ensure the homeowner understands the reasoning behind each step.

A helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier.

(Work Not Yet Done)

A homeowner in Westland, MI, with a crawl space foundation wanted to have an expansion joint installed in their home. However, city regulations required him to support that joist to get proper occupancy requirements. To provide proper foundation support, he began looking for a crawl space repair specialist nearby. Wanting this addressed as quickly as possible, to both meet regulations and retain their property value, they reached out to HomeSpec BasementFix.

Chris, one of our Project Managers who specializes in foundation repair, was sent out to do a thorough inspection of the property. After completing his detailed inspection and discussing the homeowners concerns, he explained that sagging floors could be caused by insufficient or deteriorating supports. If not dealt with correctly, the effects can be felt in the living space and cause serious problems for the foundation. Having better explained possible causes of the issue, Chris recommended the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. 

Typically, the wooden support systems that are used in the crawlspace are not permanent solutions; they can rot, shift and settle over time, causing foundation problems, as well as raising concerns about structural integrity. However, our SmartJack Support System is made of galvanized steel beams that do not shift, settle, or rust and can support over 60,000lbs to push the floor back to proper level. SmartJack is a permanent solution which can be easily adjusted year-round to best meet the needs of the homeowner. 

With a structurally sound solution presented and the homeowner satisfied with the work done, they were more than happy to leave a review commending the efficiency and professionalism displayed by our crew. 

A homeowner in Detroit, Mi was growing increasingly bothered by the appearance of their unfinished basement, which they wanted to get furnished later on. Cracks along their basement walls were stained by water damage, from water leaking in. This issue stayed at the back of their mind, and kept growing slowly, until they decided it was time to properly handle this basement waterproofing problem caused by a foundation repair issue. After searching online for foundation repair contractors nearby, HomeSpec BasementFix was the best foundation repair company recommended to them. 

We sent out a project manager with experience specializing in foundation repair, to meet with the homeowners and properly discuss their concerns. During this discussion, the possibility of a crumbling foundation was brought to our attention. After completing his detailed inspection, and noticing cracks in the basement walls, our project manager understood that if these were left untouched, they would cause more water damage in the future. A weak foundation is usually the cause of cracks appearing and can happen due to a number of reasons, but over time, oversaturation of the soil can cause the foundation to sink and lose its integrity. The homeowner was recommended a solution that involved installing a SmartJack Support System to save the foundation as well as a new WaterGuard basement drainage system to address their basement waterproofing needs. 


One of the best solutions to solve a foundation support problem is with the SmartJack Support System. With the ability to support over 60,000 lbs. and level out the property; this can improve the stability of the foundation and bring any sagging floors back to level. The SmartJack Support System permanently solves the issue by using corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel while being adjustable to address the needs of the home. Smartjack is a pest-resistant, rust-resistant solution that beats the stability of traditional support methods. The next step in the process is to install the drainage pipes with our WaterGuard drainage system. Waterguard is designed to rest on top of the foundation footing; this keeps it out of the “mud zone” which is where most typical drains can clog. The WaterGuard drains the excess water into your sump pump, allowing for a smooth and trouble-free experience. The WaterGuard system is installed with minimal invasion to the footing, and all the concrete taken out to insert the system is replaced after the repair. Boasting a clean look and function to match, WaterGuard ensures the basement stays dry in all conditions. 

With the foundation of their home successfully restored to its full potential and their basement waterproofing needs met, the homeowner was more than happy to recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to friends and family based on how pleased they were with the quality of work done by our outstanding team of specialists, and we would go on to assist their uncle with a future basement waterproofing project.

A homeowner in Harper Woods, MI had a large vertical crack as well as many other problems in their basement. One night they were roused from their sleep by a very loud noise, which turned out to be a large amount of damage caused by sudden settlement. Scared and confused, they went to investigate the cause and found that their basement wall had split open and was about to fall in. Fearful of the structure collapsing, she rushed to search for the best foundation repair company and basement waterproofing company nearby. HomeSpec BasementFix was recommended on both levels, by a friend who recently had basement waterproofing done as the right choice for this job. 

A Project Manager with experience in foundation settlement was sent to the property to complete a detailed inspection of the sudden collapse of her basement wall. After calming down the homeowner and explaining that settlement usually occurs when one of the layers of soil originally dug out for the construction of the foundation can no longer support the weight above, it begins to sink. This is an example of how settlement, left unaddressed for long periods of time, can compound and cause heavier structural damage. The soils underneath the foundation are not as tightly packed as the untouched soil around it; after heavy rains, the water is absorbed into the soil, causing pressure against the foundation walls which will lead to cracks and bowing, and as soils shift they create a void that the foundation shifts into. After explaining the problem in more detail, the Project Manager recommended a way forward that involved a Helical Pier Support System to bring the foundation back to its original strength, and proper waterproofing solution with the WaterGuard Drainage System and SuperSump Sump Pump.

The first step in this foundation repair was to install the Helical Pier Support System. The helical plates that are welded to the shaft of the pier are drilled deep enough to reach newer load bearing soils, shifting the weight of the structure to support the foundation. The piers are adjustable to provide additional length, but the quick and easy installation makes the Helical Pier Support System perfect for this homeowners foundation settlement repair. The next step was to install a reliable Sump Pump to drain the water away from the foundation. Our SuperSump Sump Pump System, capable of expelling up to 2,200 gallons of water per hour, helped solve the issue of water leaking from the cracks in the basement. Finally, installing the WaterGuard Drainage System to drain into the sump pump was the last step in this foundation repair process. WaterGuard is a french drain system designed to be installed on the concrete footing to keep the drain from clogging. WaterGuard is a minimally invasive procedure that works well for this foundation repair.

With the foundation wall successfully repaired and the basement waterproofing system ready to be utilized, the homeowner was pleased with the work done by our crew and happy to receive a small referral discount for the repair. 

A homeowner in Detroit, MI recently inherited their home from their parents. Wanting to keep the house in the best shape possible, he started doing some renovations. While renovating the kitchen, he noticed the floor was sagging in one corner. More specifically, the void created by the sagging floor was allowing air into the living space. Putting the issue to the side for some time, he returned a few months later to find that the wall in the basement was starting to bow inwards allowing water to leak into the basement. Not wanting to cause further damage, he decided it was time to properly address the situation. The homeowner reached out to friends and family for the best crawl space repair company nearby and was referred to HomeSpec BasementFix by a family member that recently had basement waterproofing done by us. 

Elon, a Project Manager specializing in crawl space repair, was rushed to the property to perform a free detailed inspection and discuss possible solutions with the homeowner. While walking around the property, Elon noted crawl space support problems, which could be the reason for the sagging floor. Crawl spaces are notorious for being humid environments which allow musty air to flow into the living space, causing possible health issues. Weak foundation soils can cause the crawl space support posts to shift, and if the crawl space is left untreated, it can lead to this owner's home experiencing a multitude of future foundation-related problems. The most immediate issue that needed to be addressed for this homeowner was the sagging floor in the kitchen and our Project Manager recommended the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System as the best solution for this problem. 

The first step in fixing the homes problems was to clear the crawl space of any debris to secure a safe working environment. Our crew would then install durable crawl space support jacks, which would allow the floor to be raised back to its original position and the homeowner could then address the rest of the foundation repair as needed. The SmartJack Support system is an ideal solution for this situation because of its ability to support loads upwards of 60,000 lbs. This successfully raises the floor back to level with the rest of the house and provides long term peace of mind by being adjustable year-round. The SmartJack overcomes weak foundation soil issues by digging and filling a solid base for the jacks to rest on. The galvanized steel columns are corrosion resistant, preventing the humid environment from affecting their ability to support the weight of the floors above. The SmartJack system is proven to be a durable solution that is installed quickly and with minimal disruption.

With the crawl space support jacks replaced, and the kitchen floor no longer sagging, this homeowner was ready to address the rest of the foundation-related repairs. They were also pleased with how quick and easy the crew made the installation and would go on to recommend us to a neighbor in need of a crawl space repair contractor. 

A family in Southgate, MI had been noticing the porch they just rebuilt was separating from the house, concerned that the crack would affect the basement if they did not address the root of the problem, the family began looking for the best foundation repair contractors nearby. Their search led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix as the foundation repair specialist for this project.

A Project Manager with experience in foundation repair was called to the residence to provide a free detailed inspection and address the homeowners concerns. After taking a look at the crack between the house and the porch, he explained that sinking foundations can be caused by shifting soils that are no longer able to support the weight of the foundation. This happens over time, and if not addressed properly, can cause structural damage to the home and lead to a loss in property value. Our Project Manager proposed the Helical Pier Support System as the best way forward for this family and their foundation settlement problems.

This homeowner needed their porch raised back to level and the Helical Pier Support System helped stabilize this home by connecting to the foundation with steel brackets. The weight is then transferred from unstable soils to newer, load-bearing soils, through the piers, bringing it back to proper level. The welded helical plates are designed not to add weight to the unstable soils or crack under the weight of the foundation; this solution addressed the root cause of their foundation issue and in return, caused the homeowners to regain their peace of mind. 

With the foundation successfully restored, and these homeowners' fears put to rest, they were pleased with the professional work done by our crew.

A recent homeowner had plans to remodel their kitchen; the only problem was that the kitchen floor had sunk to the point where it was noticeable in the basement. Determined to finish the remodeling, they set out to look for the best foundation repair companies in Detroit, Michigan. Having consulted a friend that recently had crawl space repair done by us, they recommended HomeSpec BasementFix as a reliable contractor for the project.

A Project Manager, who specializes in foundation repair, was sent to complete a detailed inspection of the property and further discuss home improvements with the owner. During the free inspection, our Project Manager noted the sinking floors and explained that over time, due to wood rot, mold, and humid conditions, traditional supports can no longer support the floors in the living space. With the homeowners intention to remodel, and increase property value, sagging floors can take away from the home's value and cause greater damage to the living space if left unaddressed. This led our Project Manager to propose a custom solution that involved SmartJack Supports in order to bring the floors back to level and allow the homeowner to complete the renovations.

The SmartJack Support System consists of specially engineered galvanized steel rods that are capable of supporting loads up to 60,000 lbs. In addition, the corrosion-resistant support system is unlike traditional supports in the sense that it will not be damaged by the harsh conditions. In order to permanently solve this homeowners problem, the SmartJack Crawl Space support jacks are installed beneath the floors and affixed to the beams under the floor. These support jacks, which are capable of bringing the kitchen floor back to proper level, are adjustable year-round to accommodate the needs of the home over time.

With the foundation repair complete, and property value restored, the homeowner could complete the renovations to their kitchen without the fear of running into another sagging floor problem.

A long time homeowner in Brownstown Township, MI had been struggling with cracks in their foundation for a number of years; with their life getting busier, they never had time to fully address the root of the problem, which was their settling foundation. Finally, one weekend they decided to address the foundation settlement by contacting HomeSpec BasmentFix, who were recommended to them by a friend who recently had basement waterproofing done.

Foundation settlement, if left unaddressed, can cause major structural damage to the home over time; this is why Keith, a veteran in foundation settlement repair, was sent to the property to discuss the homeowners concerns in more detail and provide a detailed inspection, free of charge. When the soils dug out to build the foundation wash out, due to too much moisture, or dry up, due to insufficient wetness, their ability to support the weight of the foundation is compromised. This creates an empty space that the foundation settles into, causing the walls to crack and even doors to jam. Over time, this leads the home to lose value and compromises the structure from withstanding harsher climate conditions. After the homeowner was made aware of the effects of their foundation settling , Keith recommended a Helical Pier Support System to lift the foundation back to level and return stability to the home.

The Helical Pier Support System gets its name from the helical plates that are welded to the shaft of the piers; these are advanced to the appropriate depth and attached to the home with steel brackets. The piers are screwed into deeper load bearing soils in order to transfer the weight of the foundation, through the piers, to newer soils that are more capable of supporting the home. The Helical Pier Support System addresses the root cause of this homeowners problem by providing a permanent solution that firmly stabilizes the foundation and raises it back to the appropriate level preventing further settlement and cracks from forming in the future.

The homeowners were happy to finally address the crack repair issue at the source before it evolved into a more involved structural project. They knew a bandage on a symptom wouldn't address the problem overall, so they were happy with the long-term solution.

A landlord who owned a property in Detroit, MI had recently vacated a troublesome tenant and wanted to repair the damage done over the years. The foundation wall had cracked in several places, and the outside brick walls were also beginning to show signs of foundation settlement. Wanting to address the problem as soon as possible, the landlord set out to search for the best foundation repair companies nearby. This led them to HomeSpec BasementFix being the foundation repair contractor of choice for this job.

A sinking foundation is usually caused by the soil underneath the foundation losing their ability to support the weight of the home. This process happens over time and can cause long-term damage to the property and lead to a loss of value. When the soil beneath the foundation completely washes out or shifts, it creates a void that the foundation settles into, creating cracks in the walls and uneven settlement. After explaining to the homeowner what the possible solutions were, our Project Manager, who was experienced in foundation settlement repair, recommended the Helical Pier Support System in order to raise the foundation back to level and solve this homeowner's problems.

The Helical Pier Support System is designed with homeowners in mind. The helical plates welded to the shaft of the piers are screwed into the ground, acting like an anchor. After the piers are attached to the home with steel brackets, the foundation is lifted, transferring the weight of the home to newer, load bearing soils through the piers. The piers are engineered to be corrosion resistant with the galvanized steel plates and shaft, which work seamlessly to advance to deeper soils without disturbing the weaker soils above. This permanent solution is ideal for this homeowner because the Helical Pier Support System provides peace of mind without compromising the structural integrity of the home. Our crew's excellent installation and finishing process, ensures a clean installation with little to no signs of having had the work done.

With the foundation settlement repaired and the home raised back to level, the landlord was satisfied with the work done by our crew and happy to leave a review stating how professional HomeSpec BasementFix was in this repair.

A homeowner in Highland Park, MI had just moved back to his Michigan residence from Tampa, Florida, when they realized an issue they left unaddressed for years had been acting up again. The following year, the homeowner began to notice how the floors had been visibly sagging and showed signs of caving in. Wanting to make the home safe for his 8 children when they move back in with him, the homeowner began to look for crawl space repair contractors nearby. This led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix as the best crawl space repair company for the job.

Elon, a Project Manager with us, who had experience in crawl space repair, was sent to the residence to discuss concerns with the homeowner and complete a detailed inspection of the crawl space. When Elon arrived, he immediately noticed how the sagging floors were affecting the quality of life for this homeowner and possibly even damaging property value. When he entered the crawl space, Elon could see how the support beam was cracking and starting to show signs of failure. Over time, due to age, moisture or pest damage, traditional supports can sink into the shifting soils below or start to crack and lose their integrity; this leads to sagging floors in the living space and uncomfortable living conditions for the family involved. Elon proposed a solution for this homeowner that involved sistering the support joists and installing a SmartJack Support System to raise the floors back to level. 

The traditional wooden supports in the crawl space are incapable of withstanding the test of time, mainly due to them being susceptible to wood rot and pest damage which greatly reduces their ability to support the floors. The SmartJack Support System solves this with the engineered fill that acts as a base for the support jacks, preventing them from sinking into the ground, and the galvanized steel beams that are capable of supporting loads of up to 60,000 lbs. This crawl space support system is adjustable year-round to accommodate the needs of the homeowner over time, allowing them to retain peace of mind and benefit from a permanent solution.

With the living space floors fully restored back to their original level, the homeowner could now invite their family over without the fear of the home being unsafe for his children. HomeSpec BasementFix was happy to provide this family with exceptional service and results they can witness firsthand with the homeowner who was more than happy to recommend us to any neighbors in need of repair.

The basement plays an important role in the structure, and health of the home. That's why when this homeowner in Detroit, MI started to experience a decline in their health, they took a look at the basement, and upon further inspection, found mold growing which was causing them trouble breathing and the water leaking through the cracks was causing the mold to grow exponentially. Realizing the importance of getting their basement waterproofed, they reached out to HomeSpec BasementFix for a solution.

Mark, who has experience in basement waterproofing, was sent to the home in order to discuss this homeowner's concerns in more detail and provide a solution to their leaking basement. While discussing the leaking basement, Mark explained that insufficient draining from traditional drainage systems can cause the water to pool and overflow into the living space, which has further potential to cause more problems for the home, and in this homeowners case, the mold growing in the basement. After explaining to the Project Manager about their desire to finish the basement and turn it into an extra room for the family, Mark recommended a solution that involved installing a Waterguard Drainage System to drain the water into the SuperSump Sump Pump in order to waterproof this family’s basement.

The first step in installing the WaterGuard Drainage System is to dig a trench around the perimeter of the basement to fit the french drain system. French Drain Systems, like the WaterGuard, are unlike traditional drainage systems because they sit on the foundation footing, placing it above the “mud zone” which is where clogging from soil and debris tends to occur. The way WaterGuard is engineered plays a big role in ensuring the basement stays dry and the homeowners worries are put to rest. WaterGuard drains the water from the basement walls into the SuperSump Sump Pump, which is capable of expelling 2,200 gallons of water an hour, providing the proper drainage needed to keep this basement dry and free of mold. 

With the family noticeably feeling the effects of a waterproofed basement, and the mold eradicated, they were more than happy with the job done by HomeSpec BasementFix and excited to begin renovating the basement of their home.

A homeowner recently converted their home and had decided to make additions in order to raise the property value and improve their living space. While working on these additions, they became increasingly concerned that the amount of work done to the home was causing the supports to fail. After doing some research into foundation support systems, this homeowner began to search for the best foundation repair companies near Ecorse, MI. This led them to contact HomeSpec BasementFix as the best fit for their needs.

AJ, a Project Manager, who also has related experience in crawl space foundation repair, was sent to Ecorse to discuss the homeowners concerns in more detail while also providing an inspection, free of charge. While explaining the renovations, it was brought to the Project Managers attention that the support posts were cracked and in need of repair, as well as the foundation showing signs of cracking due to the failing cinder block supports. Traditional support posts are prone to failure over time, especially with the addition of newer concrete adding extra weight to the support system. This is because traditional supports are sometimes incorrectly spaced along the beams, thereby making them unable to distribute the weight evenly and causing the cinder blocks to crack. They are also subject to pest damage and humid conditions can speed up the process of them failing. This is what led AJ to propose a permanent solution that involved installing the SmartJack Support System in order to bring the structural integrity back to its original condition. 

The SmartJack Support System was ideal for this crawl space repair service because of its ability to support loads over 60,000 lbs. ensured the extra weight from this homeowner's additions would not cause stress on the crawl space support jacks. SmartJack is installed on a base of engineered fill in order to prevent the support jacks from sinking into the ground or shifting unnecessarily, which could potentially cause future problems for the homeowner. Due to its permanent nature, SmartJack is adjustable year-round to meet the needs of the home over time and help the homeowner retain their peace of mind when it comes to making renovations.

With the crawl space foundation repair successfully completed, and this homeowners fears of a failing support system put to rest, they were impressed with the work done by our team and were happy to recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to friends and family in need of foundation repair services.

A family was looking to make improvements to their home in Grosse Ile, MI. This led them to undertake the task of finishing their basement, while clearing out the storage; they noticed cracks in the foundation walls where the foundation slab sits and this caused them concern. Not wanting to slow down their progress, they went on with their work and soon forgot about it until a few months later when the cracks started to get bigger. Understanding this was a sign of a foundation issue, they reached out to friends in order to find the best foundation repair companies in Grosse Ile. After doing their own research and locating repair contractors nearby, they were recommended to HomeSpec BasementFix by a friend, who recently had crawl space repair services done by us.  

One of our Project Managers, with experience in foundation repair, was assigned to this project in order to best fit the needs of this family. After consulting with the homeowners about their concerns, he began his detailed inspection of the basement. During the inspection, the Project Manager noted how the basement had two slabs on opposite ends of the basement and were cracking in both directions. This foundation shifting is caused when soils underneath the foundation can no longer support the weight of the home and wash out, leaving a void that the foundation sinks into. With this, our Project Manager proposed a solution that involved Helical Support Piers to bring it back to level and return structural integrity back to the foundation. 

The Helical Pier Support System is an ideal solution for this project because the helical plates that are welded to the shaft of the piers are screwed deeper into the ground to provide support and act as an anchor. Helical Piers are attached to the foundation with steel brackets to ensure the slabs do not shift, and once they are adjusted and advanced to newer load bearing soils, the Helical Piers will maintain the structural integrity of the foundation. The Helical Pier support System addresses the root cause of this familys problem and puts their fears to rest with this permanent solution. 

After the foundation repair was solved, this family was happy to get back to their project without the fear of foundation settlement causing them problems in the future.

A common sign of supports failing in the crawl space are the floors in the living space beginning to sag, and that's exactly what this homeowner in Van Buren, MI was experiencing. The uneven floors had begun to sink away from the walls and were leaving cracks in the floors. This caused the homeowner a level of distress which led them to do some research into crawl space repair services nearby. With the intention to remodel the interior of the house with new windows, sliding doors and a brand new kitchen, this homeowner contacted HomeSpec BasementFix to level out their home. 

One of our Project Managers, Jesse, who has experience in crawl space repairs, was called out to Van Buren to consult this homeowner on their concerns while providing a free inspection that yielded detailed feedback of the results. Jesse explained that the integrity of the floors depends heavily on the supports that are located beneath the home, and when these are compromised; due to wood rot, mold, or pest damage, it can cause the floors in the living space to become uncomfortable to walk on. During the inspection, Jesse noted how some of the doors in the home would not open and close properly, which led them to believe this was a failing support issue. When our Project Manager recommended the SmartJack Support System to raise the floors back to level, the homeowner was pleased to have found a solution that fit their needs.

The SmartJack Support System is a specifically engineered set of support jacks that rest on a base of concrete fill to prevent it from sinking. The zinc plated steel beams prevent the jacks from corrosion and even mold or pest damage. The SmartJack is capable of supporting loads of up to 60,000 lbs. which worked well for this homeowner because it was a permanent solution to their sagging floors. Add to that, the year-round adjustable nature of the support jacks and this homeowner was more than happy to have their problem solved by our crew.

With the crawl space repair successfully completed and the homeowner more than happy with the work done, they were finally able to begin the remodeling process and recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to neighbors and friends in need of repair services. 

When mold starts to show up in the basement, and water leaking through the floors and walls becomes noticeable, it sounds like the waterproofing system in the basement is no longer doing its job. When this homeowner in Detroit, MI was getting tired of moving their belongings from the basement to higher ground to prevent water damage from destroying them, she reached out to HomeSpec BasementFix to find a permanent solution that would satisfy their concerns.

Mark, who has experience in basement waterproofing, was called out to Detroit in order to further assess the situation and provide a detailed inspection of this homeowners property. After hearing the homeowners plans to remodel the basement and addressing their concerns about the mold and water damage, Mark recommended the WaterGuard Drainage System to replace the old one, and a brand new SuperSump Sump Pump to expel the water out of the area. 

Mold thrives in humid, wet environments, and that's why when this homeowner called in with health concerns, our crew had the ideal solution to prevent further damage to the property and the family. The WaterGuard Drainage System was the perfect solution for this homeowner due to specific engineering allowing it to rest on the foundation footing and collect moisture and water seeping through the walls. WaterGuard is designed to be installed around the perimeter of the basement, and then drain into a sump pump. The next step in this basement waterproofing repair was to install the SuperSump Sump Pump in order to collect and expel the water collected by the drainage system. SuperSump is capable of expelling up to 2,200 gallons of water per hour, so even under heavy stress, SuperSump ensures the basement stays dry. This complete basement waterproofing solution provided peace of mind and a visible difference this family could see once it was installed. 

With the air noticeably cleaner, and the damp basement no longer causing this homeowner any concern, they were very pleased with the professional and easy experience provided by HomeSpec BasementFix.

Uneven floors often compound into many problems within a home; aside from the uncomfortable living conditions, it spells a greater problem with the support systems located in the crawl space. This homeowner in Romulus, MI was beginning to experience these side effects when they noticed how some of the floors in the home were no longer able to reliably support the weight of some furniture. Having had basement waterproofing done by HomeSpec BasementFix on their other property, this homeowner reached out to provide a solution that would fit their needs.

Mark, who previously had done work on their other property, was specifically asked for on this project due to his related experience in basement repair services. After discussing the probable causes of the sinking floors, Mark recommended the support posts in the crawl space be replaced with our SmartJack Support System.

The support posts that stabilize the floors in your home, among other things, greatly affect how the home feels. When the support posts are improperly spaced, or fail, due to woodrot, pest damage etc.. it can cause the floors above to sink. SmartJack solves this by introducing corrosion-resistant steel beams that are capable of supporting loads of up to 60,000 lbs. Which works perfectly for this homeowner. The SmartJack Support System is adjustable year-round to provide easy access to accommodate the needs of the home whenever they arise. After the support jacks were installed on a base of engineered fill to prevent them from sinking, this homeowner immediately noticed the difference in their floors and was satisfied with the crews work.

With Mark successfully restoring this homeowners peace of mind, and restoring the floors back to their original condition, he was glad to have helped them on another one of their projects and happy to hear the homeowner was ready to recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to any friends in need of basement repair services.

When this homeowner in Detroit, MI wanted to leave their house to their two sons, they wanted to first address the leaks and cracks in the basement. Not wanting to pass the problems on, they contacted HomeSpec BasementFix as the best fit for this basement waterproofing job. 

When Dave, a Project Manager with experience in basement waterproofing, was called out to the property, he noted during his inspection the hairline cracks in the wall as well as the large vertical crack on the floor that was letting water seep in. After explaining that a faulty drainage system in the basement can lead to water leaking in, he recommended the WaterGuard Drainage System to drain the water and the SuperSump Sump Pump to remove the water from the basement. Dave also recommended the CarbonArmor Wall Brace to address the cracks in the wall and to prevent them from spreading further.

The first step in fixing the basement for this homeowner was to install the WaterGuard Drainage System. WaterGuard is a french drain system that doesn't clog like traditional drains. It rests on the foundation footing and is installed around the perimeter of the basement via brackets that can be adjusted to check for clogs. The next step is to install the SuperSump Sump Pump which is specifically designed. The WaterGuard drains into the SuperSump and with the ability to pump over 2000 gal/hr, which ensures the basement stays dry. The final step in this basement repair was to install the CarbonArmor Wall Supports. CarbonArmor is designed with Carbon Fiber straps that are attached to the supports at the top of the basement in order to hold them in place. This prevents the walls from bowing inwards or cracks from spreading. 

With the drainage system successfully installed and the walls reinforced with CarbonArmor, this homeowner was pleased with the work done by our crew and finally ready to leave the house the their two sons, with their peace of mind intact. 

Foundation support problems can be a nuisance to deal with, the sloping floors; cracks in the walls, doors not opening or closing properly all affect how a homeowner sees their home and sticks with them. When this Homeowner in Grosse Pointe Park, MI was beginning to experience these side effects, they reached out to their neighbors for a possible solution to their problem. That's when HomeSpec BasementFix was recommended, by a neighbor who recently had basement waterproofing done, as the best fit for this project. 

In order to better address this homeowners' concerns, Mark, one of our Project Managers, was sent to provide a detailed inspection of the home. During the inspection, Mark noted how the floors were sloping in one direction and the walls were showing signs of cracks. This is what led him to recommend the Helical Pier Support System to permanently fix this homeowners sinking foundation. 

The Helical Pier Support System solves the underlying issue of foundation settlement by utilizing the helical plates welded to the shaft of the pier. These plates act as a screw, digging deep into newer load bearing soils that wont shift or settle over time. Once the foundation is lifted back to its original height, the homeowners fears of it sinking again can be put to rest. 

Happy that HomeSpec BasementFix was able to restore their peace of mind, this homeowner welcomed the referral discount and thanked their neighbor for the recommendation.

A property manager was experiencing some structural problems with one of their rental properties in Waterford, MI. More specifically, the foundation was beginning to sink and this caused the crawl space support posts to sink lower, which was making it nearly impossible for them to support the floors above. After doing some research into the best foundation repair companies nearby, they came across HomeSpec BasementFix and reached out to schedule an appointment.

When the ground underneath the foundation is unstable, it can lead to the foundation sinking over time. Due to excess water, or excess dryness, the soil beneath can wash out and cause a void that the foundation sinks into over long periods of time. When our Project Manager, Zach, was sent out to this property to inspect the damage, he noticed how the sill plate in the crawl space was beginning to show signs of faulting. After explaining the possible causes to the owner, Zach recommended The Helical Pier Support System in order to raise the foundation, and The SmartJack Support System to bring the floors back to level.

The first step in repairing this homeowners foundation is to install the helical piers. Once the piers are attached to the foundation via steel brackets, the helical plates, from which the piers get their name, are screwed into the ground, acting like an anchor. These piers are adjusted to the appropriate depth to ensure the foundation is supported permanently and finally a lift procedure is performed to raise it back to level. The next step in this process was for our crew to install The SmartJack Support System. These corrosion-resistant jacks are ideal for this homeowner because they offer an adjustable permanent solution to the sagging floors. With the ability to support over 60,000 lbs. these support jacks are more than capable of raising the floors back to level and keeping them there. 

With the property manager satisfied, and the rental unit restored to its original condition, the owner was pleased to once again be able to rent it out. 

A homeowner in Lincoln Park, MI, was unhappy with the way their kitchen floor was starting to sag; the sagging floors had caused the cabinets to come off the walls, and was overall leading to a bad experience. Fearful of a greater problem within the house, they searched for the best repair companies nearby, and came across HomeSpec BasementFix. After doing some research, they reached out to schedule an appointment for their crawl space repair. 

Ben, who has experience in crawl space repairs, was sent to this home to discuss their concerns further and provide a free detailed inspection of the property. During his inspection, Ben noted how the floors were sagging towards the middle, which led him to believe this was a crawl space support post fail. When the support posts in the crawl space fail due to age, or even water damage because of the humid environment, it causes them to sink and therefore leads to the floors above sagging.

With this in mind, Ben recommended The SmartJack Support System as the best solution to this homeowners problems. The SmartJack works as a permanent solution to this homeowners problems because of the specifically engineered fill that the jacks are rested on in order to prevent them from sinking. These support jacks are custom fit to the crawl space and can be adjusted year round to meet the needs of the homeowner should they arise. After The SmartJack Support System was installed, the crew proceeded to clear the debris from the site and provide this homeowner with a clean, dry crawl space. 

With their floors raised back to level, and the kitchen cabinets no longer falling off the walls, this homeowner was pleased to leave a review and recommend HomeSpec BasementFix to any neighbors in need of crawl space repair. 

A Family in Allen Park, MI had been dealing with a persistent problem of water buildup and mold in their unfinished basement for years and were growing concerned with the large cracks in the walls and floor that were allowing water to seep in and create a breeding ground for mold and mildew. The damp and musty smell in the basement was not only unpleasant but also a health hazard for their family. After doing some research, they were determined to solve this problem once and for all. This led them to reach out to HomeSpec BasementFix and schedule their free inspection.

That's when our experienced Project Manager was sent to the residence to discuss their concerns in more detail and find a solution for her basement. After a thorough inspection, we recommended the installation of the WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump System, and the SaniDry Sedona.

The WaterGuard Drainage System is a low-profile, underground system that captures water seeping into the basement through cracks or holes in the foundation and channels it away to a sump pump for removal. Our crew installed the system along the perimeter of the basement, ensuring that all water was captured and removed before it could cause damage. To ensure that the water was removed quickly and efficiently, we also installed the TripleSafe Sump System. This system features a heavy-duty sump pump that quickly pumps water out of the basement and away from the foundation. In the event of a power outage or pump failure, the system also features a battery-powered backup pump that kicks in automatically to ensure that water continues to be removed. Finally, to address the mold and mildew problem, our crew installed the SaniDry Sedona. This advanced dehumidification system utilizes a powerful air filter to remove excess moisture from the air, preventing the growth of mold and mildew and reducing musty odors. The system also features an automatic draining system that removes the collected water and a built-in air purification system that captures allergens, dust, and other contaminants, making the basement air healthier to breathe.

With the combination of these three systems, this family’s basement was completely dry, and the musty smell was gone from their memory. With the mold and mildew no longer raising an issue this family can begin work to finish their basement without any health hazards. These homeowners were extremely satisfied with the results and grateful for the peace of mind that comes with a dry, healthy basement.

A homeowner in Romulus, MI who had noticed their foundation cracking and showing signs of sloping to one side was concerned about the structural integrity of their home and knew that they needed to address the problem as soon as possible. After consulting friends and family, they came across HomeSpec BasementFix as the best fit for this project.

Upon arriving at the home, our experienced Project Manager conducted a thorough inspection of the foundation and identified the areas that were in need of repair. He noted the foundation was not only cracked and sloping, but there was also water seeping into the basement causing excess damage to the home. To address the issue of the cracked and sloping foundation, he recommended the Helical Pier Support System and the PowerBrace Wall Support System. He also recommended the WaterGuard Drainage system to solve the issue of water seeping into the basement. 

The Helical Pier Support System consists of helical plates that are welded to steel beams which are then screwed into the ground using a hydraulic motor. The piers are designed to reach stable soil layers, providing a solid foundation for the home. Our crew would begin the installation process by drilling holes in the foundation and then screwing the piers into the ground. The piers were then tightened using a hydraulic jack, which helped to level and stabilize the foundation. Next, our crew would install the WaterGuard Drainage System, this system consists of a perimeter drainage channel that is installed along the foundation walls, a SuperSump Sump Pump to pump water out of the basement, and a discharge line to direct the water away from the home. Our crew started by digging a trench around the perimeter of the foundation, and then installing the drainage channel. They connected the channel to the SuperSump sump pump, which was also installed in the basement and then a discharge line was run from the sump pump to the exterior of the home to direct water away from the foundation. Finally, our crew would install the PowerBrace Wall Support System. This support system consists of steel beams that are attached to the walls of the basement using a series of brackets and anchors. The beams are then tightened, which applies pressure to the walls and helps to straighten them. Our crew installed the PowerBrace system along the entire length of the basement walls, tightening the beams as needed to straighten the walls. These three systems work together to provide a comprehensive solution to foundation problems and basement waterproofing that is designed to keep the home safe and dry for years to come.

Once all of the work was completed, the homeowner was more than satisfied with the results. The foundation was now level and stable, and there was no longer water seeping into the basement causing them unnecessary trouble. The basement walls were also straightened and secure. The homeowner was now able to retain their peace of mind knowing that their home was safe from future foundation related problems.

A family in New Boston, MI, was having trouble with the moisture in their crawl space. The dampness was causing mold and mildew to grow, and they were noticing musty odors in the home. On top of that, they were also concerned about the potential for pests and the impact on the home's structural integrity. This led them to reach out to HomeSpec BasementFix in order to best provide a permanent solution to their recurring problems.

After one of our experienced Project Managers was sent to the home to perform a  thorough inspection of the crawl space, they determined that the best solution for this family would be to install the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, SilverGlo crawl space encapsulation system, and SmartJack support system. Additionally, they noticed that the floors in the home were not level and decided to install the SmartJack support system to bring them back to level.

Our crew began by installing the SaniDry Sedona. This powerful dehumidifier was able to remove up to 100 pints of water per day, effectively controlling the humidity levels in the crawl space. With the built-in filtration system also helping to improve the air quality in the entire home by capturing allergens and particles. Next, our crew set out to encapsulate the crawl space with SilverGlo. This insulation and radiant barrier system helped improve the energy efficiency of the home by reducing the amount of air leakage between the crawl space and the rest of the home. Additionally, it assisted in preventing moisture from entering the crawl space, reducing the chance of mold and mildew growth. Finally, the SmartJack Support System was installed. This system consists of steel support posts that were placed at strategic points in the crawl space beneath the home and adjusted to lift and level the floor above. The SmartJack support system is strong and durable, able to support the weight of the house and withstand movement of the soil. This permanent solution is also adjustable, meaning that it can be fine-tuned and readjusted year round to maintain the level of the floors.

With the combination of the SaniDry Sedona, SilverGlo encapsulation, and SmartJack Support System, this family's crawl space was now dry, healthy, and energy efficient.

A homeowner in Wyandotte, MI was experiencing persistent health issues, including frequent headaches and respiratory problems, which they attributed to mold growing in their damp and leaky basement. Despite repeated attempts to clean the mold and fix the leaks, the problem persisted. Concerned for their health and the value of their home, they called us to solve the issue once and for all.

Our Project Manager arrived at the home and conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, including a detailed evaluation of the source of the water leaks.

At first, they had thought it was just a minor issue that they could fix on their own, but the problem persisted and began to cause them concern. Every time it rained, more water seeped into their basement, leaving a damp and musty smell that was difficult to ignore. This family feared that the water damage could lead to mold growth, which would be detrimental to their health in the long term. Additionally, they were worried about the long-term structural damage that could occur if the problem wasn't addressed as soon as possible. This led them to reach out and schedule an inspection with us to help find a solution to their basement leaking.

Upon learning more about the homeowner's troubles, one of our Project Managers was sent to their home to conduct a free inspection and assess the damage.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI was constantly worried about their leaking basement. Whenever it rained heavily, water would seep into the basement, leaving a musty smell and creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew. They had tried various DIY solutions, but nothing seemed to work effectively. Once their frustration had reached its peak, they decided to call in the professionals for help. After a quick online search, they were able to find us, and were more than happy to find out we offered a free consultation. 

After a thorough inspection, our Project Manager, Keith, discovered that the foundation of the house was not strong enough to support the weight of the structure. This had caused the foundation to sink and shift, creating gaps and cracks in the walls and floors. As a result, water was seeping into the basement through these gaps. He recommended the installation of the SmartJack Support System, which is designed to strengthen and stabilize the foundation of the house while also recommending the WaterGuard Drainage System and the SuperSump Plus. 

This homeowner agreed to have all three systems installed in their basement, and our crew got to work. They installed the SmartJack system first, it consists of adjustable steel columns that are installed in the basement and connected to the main beams and joists. This provides additional support and prevents further sinking and shifting of the foundation. Next, they installed the WaterGuard Drainage System, which consists of a specially designed channel that is installed around the perimeter of the basement floor, just beneath the floor slab. The channel is connected to the SuperSump system that pumps the water out of the basement and away from the house. Finally, our crew would install the SuperSump Plus Sump Pump, it includes a high-quality pump, a backup battery system, and a built-in alarm system that alerts homeowners if there is a problem. All this provided the homeowner with a reliable and powerful group of systems that works to keep the basement dry and free of musty or moldy problems.

They also enjoyed the added benefit of having a more stable and secure foundation thanks to the SmartJack.

A homeowner in Livonia, MI had always prided themselves in their ability to handle most of the household repairs on their own. So when they noticed water pooling on the floor of the basement bathroom, they immediately sprang into action. At first, they thought it might be a leaky sink or toilet, so they removed both fixtures and carefully inspected the pipes beneath them. But even after hours of investigation, they couldn't seem to pinpoint the source of the problem. Frustrated and worried about the damage the water could be causing, they decided to seek professional help. They started by reaching out to a few different contractors in the area, but none of them seemed to be able to provide a clear solution. Some suggested they replace the entire plumbing system in the basement, while others recommended expensive excavation work to repair the foundation. Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next, the homeowner stumbled upon our company's website. After reading through some of our case studies and reviews, they decided to give us a call and see if we could provide a viable solution.

When our Project Manager arrived at the home, he immediately got to work inspecting the basement and the bathroom. During the inspection he made sure to pay close attention to any areas where water seemed to be pooling or seeping in. After carefully examining all of the plumbing fixtures and pipes, he noticed that the water was actually coming in through a small crack in the foundation wall. After explaining his findings to the homeowner, he recommended installing our WaterGuard Drainage System and CleanSpace Wall to prevent any further leaks from forming. The WaterGuard system would effectively capture any water that entered the basement and channel it into a sump pump, which would then pump the water outside of the house. The CleanSpace Wall would act as a vapor barrier, preventing any moisture from seeping through the walls and causing further damage.

Our crew got to work immediately, carefully installing the drainage system and CleanSpace wall. The entire process took just a few days, and they made sure to clean up after themselves and leave the basement in better condition than they had found it. When they finished installing the systems, they made sure to show the homeowner how to maintain the WaterGuard system to ensure that it continued working efficiently. 

The homeowner was relieved that they no longer had to worry about water leaking anywhere in their basement. They made sure to thank us for our hard work and professionalism and promised to recommend our company to anyone they knew who was experiencing similar issues.

Recently, we received a call from a homeowner in Trenton, MI who was experiencing water seepage in their basement. They had told us the water was a murky brown color and was seeping through the wall, running down and collecting at the bottom of the floor. The homeowner also informed us that there was no visible crack in the wall, which made it challenging to determine the source of the water leakage.

Upon receiving this information, we sent one of our Project Managers to the homeowner's location to assess the situation and determine the most appropriate basement waterproofing solution. When he arrived, he inspected the basement and confirmed that the water was seeping through the wall, which was made of poured concrete. The homeowner further revealed that the area where the water was entering was unfinished, which made it even more susceptible to water damage. To address this, our Project Manager recommended installing the WaterGuard system, a state-of-the-art waterproofing solution that is designed to capture water seepage before it reaches the basement floor. In addition to the WaterGuard, he also recommended the installation of the SuperSump Plus sump pump system. The SuperSump Plus is a high-performance sump pump that is designed to keep basements dry and free from water damage. 

The WaterGuard was first installed along the perimeter of the basement, beneath the floor, which collects any water that seeps through the wall or floor and drains it to a sump pump. Then the SuperSump sump pump was installed and connected to the drainage system to ensure no more water could enter through the walls. 

The homeowner was delighted with our services and expressed their gratitude for our prompt and efficient response. They were also pleased to know that the basement was now protected from any water damage and could be finished whenever they were ready without any worries.

A homeowner in Canton, MI was renovating their house for their daughter because she had plans to move back in. However, they had been struggling with a persistent issue in the basement for some time and it was beginning to affect their renovations. Every time it rained, water would seep through the cracks in the walls and floor, making the air damp and musty. This not only created an unpleasant environment but also caused health issues for the family, including allergies and respiratory problems. At first, they tried various DIY solutions to seal off the cracks but none of them seemed to work effectively. The musty odors still lingered and the air felt damp. After a few months of dealing with this issue, they realized professional help was needed to address the issue once and for all. After doing some research, they came across our website and decided to give us a call. 

When one of our Project Managers arrived at the home, they could immediately smell the odor coming from the basement. Upon further inspection he determined it was a drainage issue that was causing the water to pool and fester. After consulting with the homeowner,  he recommended that they install the WaterGuard Drainage System in their basement to help keep the water flowing. The WaterGuard system is a French drain system that collects water from the walls and floor and directs it to a sump pump, which then pumps it out of the house. After explaining the benefits of the drainage system, this homeowner decided to proceed with the project.

On the scheduled day, our crew arrived and began the process by digging out a trench around the perimeter of the basement in order to place the french drain system on the foundation footing. This placement allows the drain to sit above the “mud zone”, an area where traditional drains tend to clog. After the WaterGuard is installed, and the gravel is placed on top to help the water flow easier, it is connected to the sump pump system where it allows the water to be drained away from the home. 

Once our crew had cleared up the debris from the work area and left, the homeowner immediately noticed a change in the air quality. It no longer had a powerful odor and they could feel the difference. With their peace of mind restored, they could finally finish the renovations knowing their basement was protected.

A family in Dearborn, MI had been living in their house for several years when they decided it was time to finally make some changes to the basement.  The water leaking in had caused them concern because they were unsure where it was coming from. All they knew was that every time it rained, there would be puddles all over the floor the next morning. At first, they tried to identify the source of the water by examining the basement walls and floor. They even attempted to fix the issue themselves by sealing the area where they thought the water was coming in. Unfortunately, despite all their efforts, the water kept coming in and the problem persisted. Wanting to finally address the problem once and for all, they reached out to us to schedule an appointment. 

When he described the problem to us over the phone, we knew we had seen issues like this before and immediately sent out a Project Manager to assess the basement and determine where the water was coming from. When he arrived, he began his thorough inspection of the basement and described how insufficient drainage is what could be causing this issue for the homeowner. When he discovered the cracks in the joint where the floor and wall meet, he knew it had to be a drainage problem for sure and recommended that this family have the WaterGuard installed. 

After explaining that the system works by collecting any water that seeps into the basement and channels it into a sump pump, which would then pump the water out of the basement and away from the home's foundation, they agreed to have the work done.

When our crew arrived, they began by carefully removing a small section of the basement floor around the perimeter so the WaterGuard System had a shallow trench to rest in. The WaterGuard System was then secured in place using high-strength polyurethane cement and finally fresh concrete was poured over the WaterGuard System, leaving a small gap between the wall and the floor to allow any water to drain into the system.

With the issue finally resolved, this family was happy to finally have their peace of mind restored and a dry, odor free basement.

A homeowner in Plymouth, MI had been using their basement as a gathering space for friends on the weekends and a place for family during the week.

To solve this problem and provide a permanent solution, our Project Manager recommended the WaterGuard Drainage System. This system is specifically designed to channel water away from the basement and prevent it from seeping through the walls and foundation. 

When our crew arrived to install the drainage system, they began by carefully inspecting the area around the chimney to identify the source of water intrusion.Then they excavated a small trench along the perimeter of the affected area, ensuring that it slopes downward to allow proper water flow. This system consists of a specialized drainage channel made of high-quality materials that remain hidden beneath the basement floor, providing an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution. 

By implementing the WaterGuard Drainage System, we addressed this homeowner's concern and provided them with peace of mind knowing their basement was protected. This solution not only safeguards the basement from potential water damage and mold growth but also preserves the homeowner's love for their basement space.

A homeowner in Taylor, MI had been experiencing a recurring issue every time it rained heavily. Water would mysteriously seep into the basement where the floor met the walls, causing dampness and a musty smell. This was starting to ruin the overall ambience of their entertainment area, and they were determined to find a solution to this persistent problem. Although they had inspected the walls thoroughly, they couldn't identify any visible cracks or signs of leakage. The water intrusion seemed to originate from beneath the floor, leaving this homeowner puzzled and concerned about the potential damage it could cause in the future. After a while, they realized that simply drying the area after each rainfall wouldn't address the root cause and would only provide a temporary fix. They finally decided it was time to seek help to restore their basement to its former glory. After conducting some research, they came across our website, intrigued by our expertise they decided to contact us and schedule a consultation. 

Upon arriving at the home, our Project Manager inspected the basement thoroughly, taking note of the water entry points and evaluating the existing drainage system. He acknowledged the challenge posed by the finished walls, which made it difficult to identify the source of the water intrusion, and after carefully analyzing the basement's layout and discussing the homeowners concerns, he proposed a solution. He explained the best way forward for this situation would be to install the WaterGuard Drainage System. The WaterGuard would be installed discreetly beneath the basement floor, ensuring minimal disruption to their finished walls and flooring. This french drain system consisted of a specialized drainage channel that would be installed along the perimeter of the basement, intercepting any water seepage and channeling it to a sump pump for removal.

When our crew arrived on the day of installation, they began by carefully removing a small portion of the basement floor along the perimeter, making sure not to damage the walls in the basement. Then they installed the WaterGuard drainage channel, securely sealing it to the foundation walls to create a seamless and watertight barrier.

With the installation completed, our crew took extra time to ensure they restored the small portion of the basement floor they had removed, leaving no trace of the intervention. The homeowner was more than happy with the results and relieved they no longer had to worry about the smells or damage that rainstorms would cause in the past.

A homeowner in Livonia, MI had been experiencing water seeping in where the floor and wall met, causing them great concern. To exacerbate matters, their daughter had discovered a small crack on the basement floor and expressed worries about the potential growth of black mold. Determined to address these problems promptly, the homeowner sought our assistance.

Upon receiving a call from the homeowner, our Project Manager made arrangements to visit the property. His primary goal was to diagnose the root cause of the water infiltration issue and provide a lasting solution. After assessing the homeowners basement, he determined the source of the water infiltration was hydrostatic pressure. This pressure had been forcing the water into the basement through the vulnerable joint between the floor and the wall. Realizing the urgency of the situation and the homeowner's concern about mold growth, he devised a comprehensive solution to tackle their problem once and for all. He recommended they have the WaterGuard Drainage System installed as well as the TripleSafe Sump Pump for added protection.

When our crew arrived and began the work, they carefully excavated a shallow trench along the perimeter of the basement's interior walls, then they placed the specially engineered WaterGuard drainage channel into the trench, securely attaching it to the foundation walls. Our crew made sure the WaterGuard system was sloped towards a designated collection point, where they would later install a sump pump to discharge the captured water. To address the homeowners concerns about mold, they installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, a powerful pumping system capable of handling high volumes of water. The TripleSafe Sump Pump consists of three separate pumps, each with a unique function. The primary pump discharges the water collected by the WaterGuard system, while the secondary pump acts as a reliable backup in case of power outages or primary pump failure. Additionally, the third pump is equipped with a battery backup system, guaranteeing continuous operation even during power outages.

With both systems successfully installed, the homeowner was relieved to learn they no longer had to worry about black mold growth or water damage affecting their health or the home.

A homeowner in Southgate, MI had always dreamed of having a fully finished basement, a place where they could entertain guests, set up a cozy home theater, and create a play area for their children. With this vision in mind, they embarked on the exciting journey of finishing the basement. As they began the transformation process, they encountered an unexpected hurdle. While inspecting the basement walls, they discovered a few troublesome cracks and, to their dismay, a small hole that was causing water to seep through and pool on the floor. Concerned about the potential damage and the risk it posed to the basement, they knew they needed to contact a waterproofing company. After conducting extensive research and seeking advice from friends and professionals, they came across us. After reading some of the reviews, they wasted no time and reached out to us, explaining the situation and scheduling a consultation.

The next day, we sent an experienced Project Manager to the home. He began the free, detailed inspection of their basement by inspecting cracks and taking a closer look at the leaking hole. Once he confirmed his findings, he discussed them with the homeowner. He explained to the homeowner that the best solution for their basement was to install the WaterGuard Drainage System. This french drain system would effectively collect and redirect water away from the basement, preventing any further leakage and ensuring the longevity of their space.

First, our crew prepared the basement floor by excavating a small trench along the perimeter walls. This excavation allowed them to create a path for the WaterGuard Drainage System, ensuring it would collect any water that seeped through the walls or floor. Next, our crew cleaned and sealed the cracks in the basement walls, ensuring that no water could penetrate the surface in the future. They also applied a specialized sealant to the small hole, guaranteeing that it would no longer serve as an entry point for water. With the preparation complete, our crew began installing the WaterGuard Drainage System. They carefully placed the specially designed drainage channels into the excavated trench, ensuring a perfect fit against the walls.  Once the WaterGuard was securely in place, our crew backfilled the trench with clean gravel. This provided a sturdy and efficient foundation for the drainage system, allowing water to flow freely towards the designated sump pump area.

With the WaterGuard Drainage System in place, this homeowner's basement became a safe and dry haven, free from any worries of water damage or mold growth. They were happy to return to their renovation project with the peace of mind that water damage would not affect the outcome.

A family in Ann Arbor, MI was experiencing a persistent water problem that was preventing them from storing their valuables in the basement. Located on the garage side of the house, their basement had a poured concrete foundation, however, water had been seeping into their basement through two main areas: a vertical crack on one wall and the floor joint where the floor and wall met. The consistent water damage made it impossible for them to use the basement in the way they wanted to, and they were beginning to grow even more concerned about mold growth if the problem persisted any longer. With plans to sell their home in around three years, they reached out to us for help.

After inspecting the family's basement and discussing their goals, our Project Manager determined the best course of action for this family would be to install the Waterguard Drainage System, The CleanSpace Wall System and the TrenchDrain to address their specific issues. 

To begin the waterproofing process for this family, our crew started by carefully excavating a narrow trench along the perimeter of the floor, right against the walls of the basement. The WaterGuard system consists of a specialized drain pipe with built-in channels that collect water and direct it away from the basement. They made sure to position the WaterGuard in such a way that it intercepted the water entering through the vertical crack. Next, our crew addressed the water seepage at the floor-to-wall joint by installing the CleanSpace Wall System. This acts as a vapor barrier, preventing moisture from entering the basement while also creating a cleaner and more attractive space. The CleanSpace Wall System is made of a durable liner that completely covers the basement walls, transforming their space into a clean and bright environment. Lastly, we tackled their problem of water accumulating near the garage by installing a TrenchDrain. This is specifically designed to capture surface water, such as melting snow or rainwater runoff, and divert it away from their basement. 

By addressing the vertical crack and the floor-to-wall joint, our crew eliminated the sources of water seepage and significantly reduced the risk of mold growth. The installation of the CleanSpace Wall not only prevented moisture from entering the basement but also created a clean and visually appealing space that this family could finally utilize and enjoy. Whether they chose to create additional living areas, a home gym, or a recreational space, This family was happy to have their peace of mind restored.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI was facing a persistent issue with moisture in their basement. Water was seeping in from behind the walls and damaging their belongings. Concerned about the mold growth and wanting to ensure a healthy environment for their family, they decided to seek us out to address the problem.

Upon inspection, our Project Manager identified a large vertical crack in one of the basement walls as the main area where water was entering. After discussing his findings with the homeowner, he recommended they install the WaterGuard Drainage System and the SuperSump Plus.

The first step in resolving the moisture problem was for our crew to install the WaterGuard. First, they applied a layer of crushed stone to the bottom of the trench to create a stable base for the WaterGuard. The drainage channel was then securely installed along the interior edge of the basement's footing. The WaterGuard features a unique flange that extends slightly above the basement floor, allowing any water seepage to enter the channel while preventing debris from clogging the system. Once the WaterGuard was in place, our crew sealed the trench with fresh concrete, then moved on to installing the SuperSump Plus. This high-performance sump pump system is designed to handle heavy water intrusion and provide added protection against basement flooding. Our crew began by excavating a small pit in the basement floor near the lowest point, where the water naturally accumulates, then they placed the SuperSump inside, making sure the sump liner was properly sealed.

To ensure the system's functionality during power outages or in case of primary pump failure, our crew also installed a battery backup system alongside the SuperSump Plus. This backup system would automatically activate and take over pumping duties, providing continuous protection against flooding.

The Smith family was confident that the combination of WaterGuard and SuperSump Plus would prevent water intrusion and maintain a dry, mold-free environment in their basement.

A homeowner in Westland, MI had inherited a home from their mother, who had recently passed away. The house had countless memories and sentimental value to the homeowner, but they soon discovered that it had some big issues that needed attention. One of the major concerns was the water leaking in the basement. They noticed that every time it rained, water would come up through the floor joint by the chimney. It was a distressing sight, and they knew it had to be resolved to prevent further deterioration. To get a better understanding of the extent of the problem, the homeowner sent us a photo of the area where water was seeping through. The image showed a small but consistent flow of water that was causing dampness and potential damage to the basement area. The situation was clearly in need of professional intervention.

To address these concerns and offer a permanent solution, our Project Manager arrived at the house and began by inspecting the extent of the water damage, identifying and taking notes on the areas that required the most attention. After completing the free inspection, he determined the best solution for this homeowner was to have the crack filled with High Powered Urethane Crack Injection and the Carbon Fiber Power Grid to further reinforce the structural integrity of their foundation.

When our crew arrived on the day of installation, they began by filling the crack. This involved injecting a specialized urethane material into the crack. The high-pressure application ensured that it reached deep into the fissure, effectively sealing it and preventing any further water intrusion. This approach not only stopped the immediate problem but also provided a long-term solution to keep their basement dry. Next, our crew began installing the Carbon Fiber Power Grid. This worked by reinforcing the structural integrity of the foundation, especially in areas prone to water infiltration. The carbon fiber straps are applied to the walls, creating a durable bond that would prevent any bowing or cracking caused by hydrostatic pressure.

Once our crew had completed the project, the homeowner was relieved to finally have found a permanent solution and the basement of the newly acquired home was now transformed into a dry and usable space, ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI was facing a recurring and frustrating problem, over the years, they had noticed cracks appearing everywhere. To make matters worse, during heavy rainfall or snowmelt, water would seep through these cracks, causing leaks and creating standing water in the basement. The homeowner found themselves constantly having to manually remove the water by using a suction device to prevent it from pooling and creating a breeding ground for mold. Determined to find a solution that would solve their problem once and for all, they reached out to us.

Upon inspecting the homeowners basement, our Project Manager identified the primary sources of water intrusion: the cracks in the basement walls. To manage the water and prevent future leaks, he recommended a full waterproofing system consisting of three things: The WaterGuard Drainage System, The SuperSump Plus, and a new sump discharge system.

The first step of the project involved our crew installing the WaterGuard. This interior French drainage system is designed to sit on the foundations footing and address water infiltration. The process involved our crew carefully excavating a narrow trench along the perimeter of the basement's floor, and ensuring the trench sloped downward, directing any water towards the sump pump. Next, our crew began installing the SuperSump Plus sump pump system. The SuperSump Plus is a high-performance sump pump that's capable of pumping huge volumes of water out of the basement and towards the discharge. Finally, our crew replaced the old, worn-out discharge pipe with a more robust one. The new discharge system featured a freeze-resistant design, preventing any potential blockages or issues during the colder months.

Once the final touches were in place, the homeowner felt relieved in knowing they found a long lasting solution. The combination of WaterGuard, SuperSump Plus, and the new discharge system provided them with a comprehensive waterproofing solution that suited their needs. They no longer had to worry about mold, standing water, or the constant hassle of manually removing pooled water. 

A family in Van Buren Township, MI had been experiencing a persistent water intrusion problem in their home for some years. More concerningly, they had taken notice of a large vertical crack in the north wall of their basement. Coupled with their fear of mold growth, the structural integrity of their home was also being called into question. After having the leak persist for a few months and the water damage causing them to move their belongings to higher ground, they attempted to do some DIY work and solve the problem themselves. This involved grabbing some Flex Seal and lathering it over the crack in an attempt to seal off the leak. This worked for another month until the crack in the wall got bigger and started to leak from another area. Frustrated that they had run into the same issue they started with, they decided it was time to call in a professional for help. Once they had done enough research into basement waterproofing companies nearby, they found us and reached out for a consultation. 

When our Project Manager arrived at the home to perform the free inspection, the first thing he noticed was how the homeowner had attempted to, but unsuccessfully, seal the crack. Explaining that the fissure was too large and deep for the Flex Seal to be effective was just the beginning of his assessment. After taking some notes and going over every inch of the crack, he came up with a game plan to solve this homeowner's persistent water issue. In the custom solution he designed, he recommended they have the crack filled with High Power Urethane Crack Injection and the foundation wall reinforced with the Carbon Fiber Power Grid.

On the day of installation, our crew arrived at the property and set up for the sealing and reinforcing of the foundation wall. The first step was to prep the wall for the Carbon Fiber Power Grid, they did this by applying the High Power Urethane Crack Injection into the crack, sealing it completely. While they waited for it to dry, a special epoxy adhesive was added to either side of the crack and then the carbon fiber straps were placed across in order to bind it together completely. 

After our crew had successfully stopped the leak, the homeowner was more than happy to recommend us to their friends and neighbors in need of basement waterproofing.

A couple in Garden City, MI had been living in their home for over 50 years. Countless memories had been created within those walls, and their basement held a special place in their hearts. However, a persistent issue had caused them  concern for a few years now– water seeping through the basement walls and puddling on the floor. The homeowners wanted to utilize their basement more, but the constant dampness prevented them from doing anything. In an effort to protect their belongings from water damage, they had resorted to piling everything high off the floor. The basement was cluttered, and they couldn't help but worry about the potential growth of mold and the damage it could cause to their many collectibles. Frustrated by the persistence of the issue, they decided it was time to seek a permanent solution for their basement. After doing some research, they came across us at HomeSpec, and reached out. We quickly scheduled a visit to assess the situation and propose an effective solution for the couple.

Upon arrival, our Project Manager examined the basement walls and identified the points of entry. To address their problem, he recommended a combination of three things: The WaterGuard, SuperSump Plus, and ZenWall.

The first step in this full basement waterproofing project was to install the WaterGuard system. This involved our crew cutting a narrow trench along the perimeter of the basement floor, carefully avoiding any disruption to the couple's belongings. The WaterGuard system was then securely placed within the trench and attached via wall flanges. This channel would collect any water seeping through the walls and direct it towards SuperSump Plus.

Next came time to install the SuperSump Plus. This sump pump system was specifically designed to handle high volumes of water. It included a pump capable of expelling up to 2500 gallons/hr, a reliable backup battery system and an airtight lid to prevent water vapor from escaping into the basement. Finally to enhance the basement's overall look and provide additional protection, our crew installed the ZenWall paneling. These durable, waterproof panels were specifically designed to resist moisture and mold growth. Not only would ZenWall create an appealing finished look for their basement, but it would also act as a vapor barrier, preventing any remaining moisture from reaching the valuables in their space.

As the days turned into weeks, the couple began to experience the transformative effects of having the waterproofing system installed. Their basement remained dry, and they gradually started rearranging their belongings, confident that their collectibles were safe from water damage and mold growth.

A family in Garden City, MI was experiencing troubles over the past year, their once dry and inviting basement had become a victim of rainy weather, as a large persistent crack in their basement wall had been causing water to seep through and create a small but continuous leak. Determined to protect their home and ensure a dry basement, they decided to seek our assistance to resolve this issue.

Understanding the urgency of their situation and the potential consequences of leaving the issue unaddressed, we swiftly sent over one of our Project Managers to assess the problem firsthand. He carefully inspected the crack and confirmed that it was indeed the cause of the water intrusion. To seal the crack and prevent any future leaks, he decided to employ a two-step approach that involved utilizing the High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection and Carbon Fiber Power Grid.

Firstly, our crew started the crack repair process by implementing the High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection, a technique that permanently seals the crack in concrete. They injected a specially formulated urethane sealant into the crack. The pressurized injection ensures that the sealant penetrates deep into the crack, effectively filling it from within and creating a durable, waterproof barrier. With the crack sealed, our team moved on to reinforce the section of the basement wall to provide additional structural stability and prevent any potential future cracking. To achieve this, they used the Carbon Fiber Power Grid. The Carbon Fiber Power Grid is a solution that combines the durability of carbon fiber with an epoxy bonding agent. This grid-like material is applied to the surface of the repaired area, effectively creating a reinforced layer that enhances the overall strength of the basement wall.

Upon completing the installation of both the High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection and the Carbon Fiber Power Grid, the homeowners were relieved to witness their once-leaking crack transformed into a robust and waterproof seal, accompanied by a reinforced wall structure that would withstand the test of time.

A homeowner in Garden City, MI had an unfinished basement with a block foundation that had seen little to no trouble over the years. However, an unfortunate incident occurred that left them concerned about the structural integrity of their basement walls. It happened when the owner's neighbor accidentally crashed their car into the side of their home. Although the collision didn't cause any immediate damage, it left a mark in the form of smaller cracks that began to snake their way across the basement walls. Worried about the long-term consequences, the homeowner reached out to us for professional help.

Upon arrival, our experienced Project Manager carefully examined the basement walls, taking note of the web of fine cracks that had formed as a result of the car collision. Fortunately, he determined that there was no bowing on the walls at that time, which indicated that the foundation had not shifted significantly. To fortify the homeowners walls and prevent any further damage, he recommended the Carbon Armor—a product designed to reinforce and stabilize cracked or bowed foundation walls.

The installation process began by having our crew thoroughly clean and prepare the cracked areas on the basement walls. Our crew repaired the cracks using specialized epoxy injections, ensuring a solid foundation for the Carbon Armor installation. Next, they measured and cut strips of Carbon Armor, which are made of incredibly strong carbon fiber fabric. These strips were then adhered to the prepared wall surfaces using a high-strength epoxy resin. The Carbon Armor acted as a reinforcement system, effectively distributing the structural loads and preventing the cracks from spreading or worsening over time. To maximize the effectiveness of the Carbon Armor, our crew overlapped the strips at key stress points along the basement walls. This technique ensured that the entire wall surface received comprehensive reinforcement, leaving no room for cracks to develop.

With the installation of Carbon Armor and the necessary measures in place, the homeowner could now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their basement was safeguarded against the uncertainties of the future.

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 family in Northville, MI who was in the process of downsizing, contacted our company regarding a concerning issue they discovered in their garage. They had been noticing smaller horizontal cracks in their garage get larger over the years. Compounding the problem was the fact that the wall was situated against a bank, meaning it was below grade. Recognizing the importance of addressing this issue before putting their home on the market, the homeowner sought our help to increase their property value. 

When our Project MAnager arrived at the home, it was evident that the presence of horizontal cracks in a below-grade wall indicated water pressure exerting force on the structure, which could have led to serious damage if left unattended. To address the root of the problem and ensure a permanent solution, he proposed the installation of a Geo-Lock.

The first step in the process involved excavating the exterior area adjacent to the wall in question. Our crew dug down far enough to expose the foundation wall and created a suitable working space for the installation. Once the excavation was complete, they cleaned the exposed foundation wall, removing any debris, loose material, or dirt that could hinder the adhesion of the Geo-Lock system. Next, they carefully applied a waterproofing cover to the wall's surface. This membrane acts as a barrier, preventing the intrusion of water and moisture into the foundation. With the waterproofing measures in place, our crew proceeded to install the Geo-Lock system. The Geo-Lock consists of robust steel wall anchors that are strategically driven through the foundation wall and into the compacted soil on the exterior side. These anchors are designed to stabilize the wall, counteracting the lateral pressure exerted by the surrounding soil and preventing any further horizontal movement or cracking. The anchors are securely fastened to steel wall plates placed against the interior surface of the wall. The plates distribute the pressure evenly, reducing stress on the foundation and providing long-term stability for the home.

With the project complete, this homeowner could now potentially have the value of their property increased while also ensuring the future homeowners had a safe environment.

A mobile homeowner in Shelby Township, MI had reached out to us because they had concerns with their driveway.  However, as the conversation unfolded, it became apparent that there were other concerns that needed attention. They had noticed some water seepage in the area surrounding the home and wanted to address those concerns as well.

Understanding the importance of addressing all of their concerns, our Project Manager devised a custom solution for this homeowner. The Curtain Drain would act as a trench to funnel the water away from the home and into an exterior discharge. While the PolyLevel would act as a mechanism to level the driveway and return it to its original evenness. 

To begin the process, our crew carefully evaluated the topography and layout of the property. They identified areas where water tended to collect and potentially infiltrate the foundation to determine the best application for the Curtain Drain. Next, our crew started the installation process. They first excavated a trench deep enough along the agreed upon route of the curtain drain. Then they erected temporary barriers and utilized tarps to shield the area dry throughout the project. With these precautions in place, the homeowner could easily maintain their peace of mind knowing the work area was safe. Once the trench was fully excavated, our crew placed a perforated pipe at the bottom of the trench. This pipe would act as the main conduit for channeling water away from the home's foundation. To ensure the best possible drainage, the pipes are placed with the perforations facing the soil. Then, our crew covered the pipe with a layer of gravel. This gravel acts as a filter, allowing water to seep into the pipe while preventing soil and debris from clogging it. To further enhance the effectiveness of the curtain drain, our crew began the process of installing the PolyLevel. This compound raises the concrete slabs of the driveway back to their original level without causing any exterior damage or replacing any concrete. 

Once the installation was complete, the homeowner was glad to have their driveway restored to its original level and the water damage would no longer affect the leveling issues they had been facing. 

In a small neighborhood in Dearborn, MI there was a homeowner who was already planning for the future. They envisioned creating a comfortable and healthy living space for their family and knew that in order to achieve this, they needed to address the moisture issues in the crawlspace. Organic growth like mold and bacteria had become a big concern for them in recent months due to the heavy rains, especially with their young daughters and elderly parents living under the same roof. Although allergies weren't the primary concern, they just couldn't ignore the discomfort of cold floors in the kitchen area during meal times with family. After looking into crawl space repair companies nearby, they came across our website and scheduled a visit as soon as they could. 

Upon arriving at the residence and listening to the homeowners concerns, our Project Manager proceeded to inspect the crawl space thoroughly. He made sure to take note of any mold that was starting to show signs of growing. After completing the free inspection, he recommended the best way to protect the home was to have the crawl space sealed with the CleanSpace Encapsulation and to address the kitchen floors, the EverLast Door would be the perfect choice for their home.

The CleanSpace Encapsulation System is designed to address moisture and organic growth issues in crawl spaces. Our crew began the process by thoroughly cleaning the debris in order to prep the area for installation. Then, they installed the multi-layered vapor barrier, which locks out moisture and prevents any mold or bacteria from growing. The encapsulation not only protected this home from long-term damage but it also ensured a healthier living environment for the family.

Next on the list was the EverLast Door to tackle the cold floor problem in the kitchen area. Our crew identified the area with the most noticeable temperature fluctuations and replaced the old, inefficient exterior door with our EverLast Door. This door boasted better  insulation properties like preventing heat loss and maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the home. 

Having finally completed the project, the homeowner was glad to have future-proofed their home for many years, and could rest better knowing they wouldn't have to worry about mold or cold floors for a very long time.

A couple in Dearborn Heights, MI had recently been noting a persistent flow of water through a floor-to-wall junction in their basement. Although it had caused no damage to their belongings yet, the vertical cracks in the walls prompted them to address the issue once and for all. As they had been planning to move closer to their daughters in the next five years, they wanted this issue taken care of as soon as possible. After asking around for advice, they were directed to us at HomeSpec as the best fit for the project. 

Upon contacting us, we scheduled a visit with one of our experienced Project Managers who carefully inspected their basement and recommended a custom solution for the couple. The WaterGuard Drainage System and the TripleSafe Sump Pump would be the best course of action to prevent damage from occurring in the future and solve their current problem of water leaking into the basement.

The WaterGuard Drainage System, is a product installed on the foundation footing, which keeps it away from the "mud zone," ensuring debris does not clog the drainage channel over time. The TripleSafe is a specialized sump pump with three separate pumps that provide multiple layers of protection against basement flooding and water infiltration. The first pump handles the standard pumping, the second assists the first with high volumes of water, and the third pump, equipped with a backup system, guarantees continuous functionality even during power outages.

Our crew arrived at the couples home and immediately began by installing the WaterGuard System. They started by excavating a shallow trench along the perimeter of the basement walls to create space for the WaterGuard and then removed the flooring to expose the foundation footing. The WaterGuard is then installed within the trench, secured firmly against the basement walls with special flanges to ensure water is directed away from the basement and into the sump pit. Its clog-resistant design ensured no debris would affect the drainage system for many years. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was positioned in the sump pit, with the battery backup system set in place. Our crew then carefully resealed the trench, restoring the floor to its original state, leaving no visible trace of the installation, except for the added peace of mind it brought to the couple.

Upon completing the installation, our crew tested the systems to ensure they were working together properly and took extra time to explain to the couple how to maintain and monitor the system in the future. They could now plan their move with the reassurance that their basement was protected from water damage.

A couple in Detroit, MI were tired of the water pooling relentlessly where their old sump pump once stood, and despite having a secondary drain, it seemed to be struggling to cope with the continuous flow. The couple noticed that during heavy rainfall, water even began to seep through the walls, causing them to worry that the soil might be expanding and exacerbating the issue. Determined to find a solution and protect their beloved home from water damage, they asked around for the best waterproofing companies nearby, this led them to scheduling a free inspection with us to assess the damage and provide a custom solution for them.

When one of our experienced Project MAnagers arrived at the home, they immediately took note of the large puddles along the basement floor and this was a clear sign of a drainage  problem in their basement. After inspecting the rest of the foundation, he recommended the WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect water away from the basement, preventing it from pooling in large puddles. 

During the installation process, our crew began by excavating a trench around the perimeter of the basement and clearing out any debris. The WaterGuard sits above the foundation footing which made it ideal for this couple because it would cause minimal disruption to their basement. The WaterGuard was then carefully installed into the trench, ensuring it would remain free from clogging with dirt or debris. Once secured in place, our crew connected the WaterGuard to the homeowners' existing sump pump system, ready to direct water away from the house.

With the job completed and the superheroes of waterproofing victorious, the couple could rest easy, knowing their basement was now a dry, secure haven. The WaterGuard would prevent the homeowners from having to worry about water damage in their basement while also ensuring their peace of mind.

A family in Canton, MI had just purchased thier dream home three years ago, complete with a basement made of poured concrete. The basement was partially finished with drywall, making it an ideal space for recreational activities and storage. However, their excitement was short lived as they noticed water seeping in where the floor met the wall, causing them to research extensively. They learned that the basement was vulnerable to water intrusion due to the presence of vertical cracks. Although the previous homeowners had repaired these cracks, they were still causing recurring leaks, leaving this family with the task of cleaning up the mess each time. They were also worried about the potential growth of mold and damage to their belongings, not to mention the integrity of the foundation itself. Once they had reached out to us, we scheduled a free inspection to assess the issue and provide a solution for this family.

After a thorough assessment of his basement, our Project Manager recommended a complete basement waterproofing solution, the WaterGuard Drainage System, the SuperSump Plus sump pump and High Pressure Urethane Crack injection to seal the cracks permanently.

The first line of defense was the WaterGuard, an interior drainage system that sits above the foundation footing. Our crew installed the WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement floor, directly against the walls. This system would intercept any water trying to make its way inside and direct it towards the SuperSump Plus. To address the water accumulation, our crew installed the SuperSump Plus, a sump pump system designed to pump high volumes of water away from the foundation, ensuring its protection. This high-capacity pump was placed in a corner of the basement to collect water from the WaterGuard system and expel it away from the home through a discharge line. Finally, to tackle the vertical cracks that remained a concern, our crew used High-Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal them up for good. This involved injecting a specialized urethane material into the cracks at an incredibly high pressure. As the material seeped deep into the cracks, it formed a waterproof barrier, effectively sealing them and preventing any further water from leaking through into the basement.

Once all the products were installed, the family finally felt a sense of relief and reassurance. From that day on, they no longer worried about rain storms or snow melt causing water issues in the basement.

A homeowner in Grosse Ile, MI had been facing some serious concerns that were causing them more and more sleepless nights. Their once solid foundation had started showing signs of wear and tear, leading to various issues that were affecting their daily lives. The first concern revolves around their basement, where water has been finding its way through cracks and openings and causing puddles that would give the room a musty odor. The persistent leakage has created a damp and unpleasant environment, rendering the space unpleasant. The homeowners have tried multiple attempts at temporary fixes, but it's evident that the problem will not simply vanish on its own – it's not gonna get better without professional intervention. Another worrisome aspect for the homeowners is the uneven patio just outside their home. The concrete slabs on the patio have started sinking down in some areas, causing a tripping hazard. As the homeowner enjoys hosting gatherings and having friends over, the safety risks are simply not acceptable to them. Determined to restore the stability and ensure the safety of their home, the homeowners reached out to us for a permanent solution to their problem.

When our crew arrived to begin the process, they started by carefully drilling small, unobtrusive holes in locations on the concrete slabs. These holes serve as access points for the PolyLevel to be injected. Next, our crew injected the PolyLevel foam into the holes. This high-density polymer foam expanded, filling voids and lifting the sunken concrete slabs to their original position. As the foam expanded, it also compacted and stabilized the underlying soil, ensuring a long-lasting solution for these homeowners.

With the slabs lifted and leveled, our crew turned their attention to the basement. They applied PolyLevel to the foundation gaps and cracks, sealing off the pathways for water intrusion. This prevents future water issues, leaving the homeowners relieved that they would no longer have to worry about water invading their basement space.

Our PolyLevel solution not only provided a level patio and a dry basement but also ensured that their friends and loved ones can walk around their property without any tripping hazards. The homeowners were grateful to restore the comfort, safety, and peace of mind they deserve in their home.

As the heavy rain poured down relentlessly, homeowners in Northville, MI found themselves facing a persistent and concerning issue in their basement bathroom. Water had begun to infiltrate through a vulnerable wall, rendering the space unusable during those bouts of incessant rain. The continuous downpour of rainwater not only disrupted their daily routine but also sparked anxiety about potential escalation of damage within the home. With the bathroom now off-limits in order to prevent further water intrusion into the basement, the homeowners were determined to find a lasting solution. Their priority lay in preventing any further expansion of the damage caused by the persistent water infiltration. The fear of increased structural damage and mold growth loomed large, prompting them to seek professional assistance to address this issue.

To offer an effective remedy, our Project Manager introduced the homeowners to the CleanSpace Wall solution. This chosen for its unique properties designed to combat moisture-related problems. The CleanSpace Wall was the ideal choice to address the water infiltration issue plaguing these homeowners.

The CleanSpace Wall, a robust material, acts as a durable barrier between the basement's interior and the external elements. Its impermeable nature ensures that water, moisture, and dampness are kept at bay, thwarting any potential water intrusion from the heavy rainfall.

Our crew began the installation process by ensuring every step was executed with maximum effectiveness. The CleanSpace Wall was carefully placed along the problem-prone wall, creating an impermeable shield against any potential water infiltration. This installation was carried out methodically, ensuring a tight seal that would prevent moisture from seeping through.

The homeowners found relief in witnessing the transformation of their compromised basement bathroom. With the CleanSpace Wall in place, their concerns about water damage and its far-reaching consequences were finally alleviated. The bathroom that was off-limits due to water intrusion was now ready for use, even during the heavy rain seasons.

A homeowner in Taylor, MI with two growing children and a deep sense of attachment to their space, had noticed an issue that demanded their attention. Their home's crawl space, accessed from the exterior, was causing some concern. While the crawlspace had a height of over 2 feet and featured a concrete block foundation, it had been accumulating an excessive amount of moisture. This moisture buildup had given rise to carpet beetles. These pests were finding their way into the home, posing a threat to the family's health and the quality of their living environment. While the Johnsons didn't notice any musty smells, they knew that the excess moisture could lead to potential issues in the future. They also understood that a damp crawl space could contribute to inefficiencies in their home's heating and cooling systems. Driven by their dedication to ensuring a healthy and comfortable living space, the homeowners recognized that addressing the moisture was the next project on their list. After doing some research into basement repair companies nearby, they came across us at HomeSpec.

When our Project Manager arrived at the home to perform the initial inspection, he immediately noticed the cause of the damp and musty crawl space was the lack of any insulation/protection. This is where he recommended that the family have CleanSpace installed. CleanSpace is an encapsulation system designed to transform damp, mold-prone crawl spaces into dry, clean, and energy-efficient areas. The product's thick, durable liner acts as a moisture barrier, preventing water vapor from seeping through the walls and floor. It also provides an airtight seal, which helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the home, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills.

Our crew began this project by assessing the condition of the crawlspace, examining the moisture levels, and potential entry points for pests. Next, to prepare the crawlspace for the CleanSpace installation, our crew addressed any existing moisture issues, such as water leaks or drainage problems. They also cleared the area of debris and cleaned the surfaces for proper adhesion. Finally, the star of the show – CleanSpace – was installed throughout the crawlspace. Our crew laid down the durable liner, carefully sealing the seams and edges to create a complete barrier against moisture and pests. This step was crucial in safeguarding the crawlspace against the carpet beetle infestation that had been troubling the family. Once the installation was complete, our crew ensured proper ventilation by installing vent covers to regulate airflow. Additionally, they inspected the insulation and repaired or replaced it as needed to further enhance energy efficiency.

The transformation was remarkable. The Homeowners crawlspace, once plagued by moisture and pests, was now fortified against both. With CleanSpace in place, they could rest easy, knowing that their home was not only more comfortable but also better protected against potential issues. The carpet beetles were no longer infiltrating their living space, and the Family was on track to enjoy lower utility bills due to improved energy efficiency.

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.

In Detroit, MI a returning customer found herself grappling with an increasingly frustrating problem - her driveway. Having previously experienced the impressive results of PolyLeveling a few years ago, thanks to the expertise of our Project Manager Justin Deese, this homeowner decided it was time to once again call upon our trusted team to address her driveway woes. Their driveway, once a smooth and inviting path, had fallen victim to the passage of time and the relentless wind and rain. It had become marred with uneven slabs and unsightly cracks, leading to an unappealing appearance and a constant discomfort whenever she drove over the area. The situation was exacerbated by the unsettling rocking sensation she felt as her tires crossed over the misaligned slabs. Seeking a solution that combined durability, aesthetics, and safety, they turned to us who had previously proven our ability to transform her living space.

With a clear understanding of the challenge at hand, our crew arrived equipped with a plan that involved the application of PolyLevel, and the NexusPro Crack Repair. These products were chosen with the homeowners specific requirements in mind, promising a transformative solution that would not only restore her driveway's structural integrity but also its visual appeal.

Our crew started the restoration process by addressing the uneven slabs using PolyLevel, a cutting-edge polyurethane foam. This material is renowned for its lightweight yet incredibly strong properties, making it ideal for lifting and leveling sunken concrete surfaces. Our crew drilled small holes into the affected slabs and injected the expanding foam beneath them. As the foam expanded, it gently raised the slabs to their original position, eradicating the unsettling rocking sensation that had been plaguing Valesta. PolyLevel's ability to provide a stable foundation and prevent future settling ensured a lasting solution to the unevenness that had plagued her driveway. However, our crew didn't stop there. To tackle the unsightly cracks that had formed over time, they employed NexusPro Crack Repair. This formula is designed to seal cracks with unmatched flexibility and durability. Our crew began by cleaning out the cracks, ensuring a clean surface for optimal adhesion. Then, they skillfully applied the NexusPro solution, which not only sealed the cracks effectively but also provided a smooth, uniform appearance that enhanced the driveway's visual appeal.

In the end, the homeowners journey from frustration to contentment was a testament to the transformative capabilities of PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair, and the commitment of our crew to deliver a solution that exceeded expectations. With a driveway now as smooth and inviting as the day it was first laid, the homeowner could once again take pride in her home's exterior, knowing that she had entrusted her space to a team that understood her needs and had the tools to deliver exceptional results.

Imagine discovering that your floors are slowly sinking – not a pleasant thought for any homeowner. That's exactly what happened to a homeowner in Detroit, MI, who planned to stay in their house for a very long time. They noticed that the floors on the first floor were starting to slope down, and it was causing them some worry. 

A homeowner who loved their house, began to notice a problem – their first-floor floors were starting to sink a little. It wasn't causing big issues like cracked walls or doors that wouldn't open properly yet, but the homeowner wanted to take care of it before things got worse. They also had big plans to renovate the first floor, but knew they couldn't do that until the floors were fixed.

To understand the homeowners situation, we need to know more about the house. The home had a block foundation, an unfinished basement, and, apart from the sagging floors, there were no obvious signs of trouble. Even though the basement wasn't finished, it turned out to be the key to solving this homeowners problem.

The homeowner wanted a solution that would not only fix the immediate issue but also make sure their home stayed in good shape for many years. Their plans to spruce up the first floor were closely tied to this commitment.

The homeowner started looking for a solution to their sagging floor problem, and they found us at HomeSpec. After our Project Manager arrived to complete the inspection, he recommended the SmartJack on Footing. This was just what the homeowner needed. It could fix their sagging floors without tearing the house apart or costing a fortune.

SmartJack on Footing is a set of strong metal columns that are installed under the problematic areas of the house. These columns are adjusted to lift and support the sagging floors, making them level again. What's great about SmartJack on Footing is that it gets the job done quickly and without causing a lot of disruption to the home.

After the SmartJack on Footing was installed, the homeowner saw a big change in their home. The floors were level again, and the first floor was stable. This not only solved the immediate problem but also allowed them to start the floor renovation project they had been dreaming of.

A home in Grosse Pointe Woods has been owned by a family since 1995. It had been waterproofed before and had an interior drainage system installed in 2011. However, they never worked underneath the staircase in the basement or had a sump pump installed. These proved to be problematic for the homeowner when water began leaking again. Knowing they would be moving in a few weeks, they wanted to make sure it would not be an issue for the next tenant. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to get a free estimate.

HomeSpec sent their inspector, Erik, to evaluate the damages and come up with solutions. The first step was to install a sump pump, specifically TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This would connect to a new interior drainage system made of WaterGuard®, and a sump discharge line. This combination is a HomeSpec specialty that ensures the basement stays dry and water leads away from the home. The homeowner approved of these suggestions and scheduled with HomeSpec to begin the work.

Foreman Vernon led the crew in waterproofing the basement. They dug a hole in one corner of the concrete as a space for the sump pump and trenches along the base of the walls for the interior drainage system. They also connected the sump discharge line through a wall so it would drain far into the yard outside. This line was buried so it was neither a tripping hazard nor an eyesore. With the work complete, the basement remains dry, clean, and visually appealing!

A couple bought their Trenton, MI home in 2022. The homeowners learned that the previous owner had covered the outside crawl space access when they added a new pavement driveway. This sparked the couple’s curiosity about installing a new crawl space access and getting an assessment of the crawl space after so much time had passed. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

The senior project manager, Chris, went out to the home and explored the perimeter. He identified where the most beneficial location to install the new access would be based on the surroundings of the house. Chris shared with the homeowners that he believed the best place would be in the back of the house and recommended installing an EverLast™ crawl space door. This would create a seal so pests and critters could not enter the crawl space through the new access. Once the access was created and a door was installed, then a project manager would be able to go into the crawl space and inspect it properly. That project manager would then create a repair plan for the rest of the crawl space that aligned with the couple’s needs. This plan made sense to them; however, they needed time to make a decision.
