Before & After Photos

These homeowners had water leaking into their basement through cracks, rod holes, and between the floor and the wall. The usual suspects! 

Our team of experts repaired the cracks and rod holes, and then installed an interior drainage system to solve their water problems permanently. The drainage system will collect the water, and then the sump pump will pump it up and away from the foundation. 

To be honest, wet basements are annoying for everyone. Whether your basement is fully finished or simply a storage room - no one wants water seeping in and causing damage. These East China homeowners used their basement for the latter - they stored old furniture and boxes of belongings, and only ventured downstairs to do the laundry once a week. 

For years though, water was seeping into the basement at the joint where the floor and the walls meet. Sometimes they'd even find cardboard boxes sitting in a puddle of water. After years of dealing with this headache, they finally decided to contact HomeSpec to look into their options. 

Our specialist recommended an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. Since the water was entering around the perimeter of the basement, this system is the best option. It would collect the water before it seeps into the basement and direct it to the sump pump, which would then expel the water away from the home. 

The homeowners are very happy with the results, and reported no leaks even after many heavy rains! 

The discharge for a sump pump in Armada, MI clogged and caused an overflow. The water was threatening the foundation of the home. The homeowners also noticed a leak in a basement wall whenever there were heavy rains. They knew these issues needed to be fixed if they were going to move out of state like they planned. So, they decided to reach out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

A senior project manager, David, inspected the basement and the areas of concern. He shared a repair plan with the homeowners starting with a new sump pump. This would be connected to an interior drainage system as well as an exterior discharge line. These products would ensure that any intruding water is pumped out and away from the home. The homeowners accepted this plan and had HomeSpec’s team install the project. The team was led by foreman Vernon. The homeowners were really happy with their work!

Egress windows come with a ton of benefits - from all the natural light they allow into basements, to the emergency exit they provide to keep your family safe. But without a proper window well and drainage, they are very susceptible to leaking. That's why this Marysville homeowner contacted HomeSpec. 

JoAnn's window well was leaking for two main reasons: 1) water was pooling in the well because of inadequate drainage and 2) absence of a window well cover to keep out water. 

To solve this problem, HomeSpec replaced the old wooden well with our Rockwell window well with proper drainage. We also installed a cover to keep out water and debris! 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because she wanted an egress window installed in her basement. 

There are safety reasons for egress windows - to provide a safe escape from the home in case of emergency, and for a way for firefighters to enter. But they also let in lots of natural light to a place that's normally very dark. 

Our team installed the egress window for the homeowner, as well as a window well with proper drainage to prevent the window from leaking. A clear cover was installed over the well to still let it light, but make sure water and debris don't get in. 

Now the basement has a brand new egress window, and the homeowner was very happy with the final results!
