Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to have their walls finished and the WaterGuard Drainage System installed in their basement so they could remodel it in peace without the worry of water damage to their belongings. 

These Drayton Plains homeowners contacted HomeSpec because water was seeping into their basement in two ways: 1) Through cracks and rod holes in the foundation walls 2) Through the joint where the floors and walls meet. 

Their project manager and inspector decided that after the cracks and rod holes were repaired, the best route to waterproof the basement would be a WaterGuard® Below Floor Drain. This installs around the perimeter of the basement to stop water intrusion from the walls and said joint. This was connected to a SaniDry™ XP Dehumidifier and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This system will keep the basement dry and pump water far from the foundation.

A CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier for unfinished walls was installed as well to block moisture and water vapor from entering the basement, and instead directs in to the drainage system. This Drayton Plains home now has the ultimate protection against water intrusion, and the homeowners couldn't be any more pleased. 

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!
