Before & After Photos

Nothing is more stressful than finding water in your partially finished basement. That's what happened to these homeowners in Southfield, Michigan. After a few days of heavy rain, they discovered moisture in their basement. After removing a few wall panels, they found leaking cracks and rod holes, AND water seeping from the floor/wall joint. This is when they called the experts at HomeSpec.

Project manager David Kingsley went out and inspected their issues. He informed the homeowners that an interior drainage system with a new, high-capacity sump pump would waterproof the basement for good. The homeowners wished to fully finish the basement, and never wanted to stress about water intrusion again – so they were excited about a waterproofing system! 

Foreman Jerry Blevins and his crew got to work. They installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. Together, these collect water before it leaks into the basement, and funnel it away from the home. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to filter the air and keep the relative humidity at a healthy 55%. 

Now these homeowners can finish their basement and don't have to worry about water damage. 

A homeowner in Southfield, MI originally reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with interest in external waterproofing solutions. Unfortunately, water was entering their basement and causing trouble. HomeSpec did help with waterproofing the home thanks to the foremen, Vernon and Ryan, and their team. All was well that could be seen. However, hiding behind a section of drywall in a new area, there was a large foundation crack that later began to leak. 

The homeowner reached back out to HomeSpec and a project manager soon visited. This project manager inspected the crack and came up with a plan to fix the leak. They proposed to the homeowner that HomeSpec use a high pressure urethane injection to stop the leak. The injected material would fill the space behind the foundation wall that was allowing water to enter the basement. The repair team would then seal the crack on the inside of the wall to further prevent leaks.

This home in Warren, MI was experiencing an issue with water in the basement. The homeowner heard from a neighbor that they had been struggling with the same type of problems. Knowing they would have to call a company just as their neighbor had, who better to call than the same company? They gathered the contact information and gave HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair a call.

The inspector, Elon, recommended a handful of products including a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This Before and After shows how important it is to have a functional sump pump. While HomeSpec was installing the new drainage system, the sump pump began to fill with water because the water that caused the homeowner concern was already being rerouted. Once the sump pump was fully installed and active, it was able to properly discharge the water out of the basement. Thanks to the work of HomeSpec’s crews, led by Foremen Vernon and Brandon, the basement is dry and the homeowner is happy! Happy enough to leave HomeSpec a five-star review!

Not all homes are going to be cookie-cutter rectangles. Some basements, like this one in Warren, MI have a plethora of angles that are all equally important to have waterproofed. Luckily, this homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair who is always up to the task.

The inspector, Elon, did a walkthrough of the home, discussed issues, and went over goals with the homeowner. Together, they decided that the best course would be to waterproof the walls and floors. This included an interior drainage system made of WaterGuard®, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, a sump pump discharge that has freeze protection, a wall vapor barrier using CleanSpace®, and ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring. HomeSpec’s crew was led by Foremen Vernon and Brandon to complete all of these projects at the same time. The work was completed in only a couple of days and the homeowner was very happy with the results. They were happy enough to give a five-star rating!
