Before & After Photos

This home in Grosse Pointe Woods had previously been waterproofed by another company, but they did not have a sump pump installed. As time went on, the homeowner noticed water leaking into the basement again and knew that HomeSpec was the best option to fix everything. HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, advised that a sump pump as well as a sump pump discharge system would address all of the homeowner’s concerns.

Once approved, HomeSpec’s crew, led by foreman Vernon, came out to the house to install the sump pump and other waterproofing materials. In this case, they used a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. It now sits comfortably out of the way in one corner of the basement.

A Grosse Pointe Woods homeowner was aware that their basement had been waterproofed in the past but was unaware that the company they used had not fixed all of the problems. It wasn’t until the basement began leaking water again that this homeowner learned they needed help once again. This time, they called HomeSpec.

HomeSpec had one of their inspectors, Erik, go out to the house to investigate. The homeowner was informed that the basement did not have a sump pump, like the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, or a sump pump drainage system. Erik recommended these solutions, as well as other waterproofing options, and the homeowner approved them. A crew, led by foreman Vernon, later came out to the home for installation. The homeowner now has a dry basement and an aesthetically pleasing yard!

HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair have been to this same Chelsea, MI home before to fix the crawlspace. Now, the homeowners plan to do a complete renovation of their house except for the foundation. It is important to them that they address any issues with the foundation before building on top of it. They were so pleased with their crawlspace that they called HomeSpec again to take a look.

The inspector, Erik, explored the unfinished basement with a poured and concrete block foundation. There was water entering where the basement floor meets the wall. The current partial interior drainage system, IDS, in the basement was not preventing damage to items being stored there. To address this, Erik recommended replacing the current IDS with WaterGuard® around the entire basement instead of only specific areas. Additionally, connecting the new system to the existing concrete basin would require drilling into the concrete. The homeowner agreed to this proposal and also requested removing the two concrete steps at the bottom of the basement. This was within HomeSpec’s abilities and so they scheduled a crew, led by foreman Josh, to do the repairs.

Everything went according to plan. The interior drainage system would capture any water that intruded and direct it away from the house. The homeowner was pleased with the results and able to move on to other matters for rebuilding their home.

The homeowner was looking for a long-term solution for keeping his basement dry after water started coming through the floor of his 100-year-old home.

A homeowner in Dexter, MI with a persistent leak in their basement called us out to reinfect a crack that was causing water to leak into the basement and cause them trouble. Our crew used High Pressure Urethane Crack Injection to seal the crack and prevent any more water from entering the home.
