Before & After Photos

A family in Marine City, MI was renting their home to another family member. This tennant had gone into the crawl space and quickly became aware of a burst pipe along one of the walls. There were puddles throughout the crawl space and the insulation had been damaged as well. The family wanted to have the home evaluated by a professional for things like mold and wood damage. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to get this process started.

One of the senior project managers, Zach, inspected the entirety of the crawl space and returned to the family. He shared the unfortunate news that the mold had compromised the integrity of the wood in the crawl space, including the main beam. The family was alarmed by this information and prepared to have it handled immediately. Zach suggested HomeSpec get rid of the mold using Mold-X2. He also suggested that instead of replacing the damaged beam, HomeSpec install a steel beam along side the wooden one and use steel SmartJack® support posts to reinforce the home. The family accepted this proposal and they were happy with the decision as soon as the work was completed.

Paul and Maryjo in Beverly Hills, Michigan contacted HomeSpec to repair their heavily damaged basement walls. The concrete block walls walls were cracked, broken and bowing – and even leaking water into the basement. 

To address these issues, foreman Vernon Bryan and his crew needed to stabilize the walls. They excavated the walls, pushed them back into place, and then waterproofed the exterior of the foundation. On the interior, the PowerBrace Wall Repair System was installed to stabilize the walls and prevent further movement. The cracks were all filled and sealed as well. 

Foundation issues are very serious and will only worsen over time if not properly repaired. These homeowners waited a long time before finally calling a professional to solve the issues, and they were glad they ultimately did! 

A homeowner in Dearborn, MI noticed that water was getting into the basement during heavy rains. The homeowner wanted to prevent any further water intrusion from occurring year-round and called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what options were available.

HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Keith, visited the home for an inspection. After looking both inside and outside of the home and speaking with the homeowner, Keith made some recommendations. This home was built using a block foundation and had tile flooring on top of concrete. To waterproof this type of space thoroughly, it is important to protect both the walls and the floor. The homeowner approved of the recommended products and a crew, led by foreman Vernon, was scheduled to install them.

As with many waterproofing jobs, HomeSpec used an interior drainage system comprised of WaterGuard® and a Sump Pump. To take this a step further, this homeowner utilized a sump discharge with freeze prevention. These elements protect the floor, while CleanSpace® protects the walls. Not only does it control leaking water, but it also provides a clean aesthetic for any basement or crawl space. The homeowner thoroughly enjoyed their experience with HomeSpec and left a positive review!

A homeowner in Fowlerville, MI discovered that the waterproofing system in their basement had failed and was not installed correctly. Because of these errors, water was beginning to enter the basement in multiple places. One of their biggest concerns was that the home would lose value due to water damage. They were eager to find a solution, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. 

HomeSpec sent one of their senior project managers, Ted, to conduct a free inspection. He thoroughly inspected the home and discovered more issues than the old waterproofing system. There were also structural concerns and unique soil conditions. The homeowner agreed to all of HomeSpec’s recommendations and the crews we scheduled for installations and repairs. The crews were led by foremen Brandon and Marshall.

An interior drainage system was installed with some adjustments due to the presence of iron algae. The IDS was then connected to a TripleSafe™ sump pump and sump discharge. The homeowner was very pleased with the results and the HomeSpec team because they took the time to explain what was being done and why.

A Hudson, MI homeowner saw that there was water coming through the vertical cracks of their basement walls. This concern led the homeowner to call HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for an inspection. The senior project manager, Ben, did a walk-through of the house as well as a walk-around to understand the full extent of the situation. There were more concerns than just water leaking through the basement wall cracks, the walls needed to be stabilized to prevent more cracks from forming as well as bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards. The homeowner agreed to repairs that would waterproof and stabilize the basement and HomeSpec scheduled their crews to return.

This Hudson, MI received a complete makeover. The foremen who led the work were Ryan and Eleftherios. Some of the products HomeSpec used include the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System to stabilize the foundation, WaterGuard® interior drainage system to collect leaking water, a new Sump Pump to expel the water collected, IceGuard® to prevent the discharge from freezing, CleanSpace® to encapsulate the walls, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control excess moisture and mold growth. The team also installed new gutters and downspout extensions to ensure protection outside as well.
