Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Harbor Beach, MI had their house inspected, and it was revealed that their foundation needed repairs. After looking into different options, the homeowner decided to reach out to HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair.

HomeSpec sent one of their inspectors, Erik, to take a look as well. It was during HomeSpec’s inspection that they learned there was more that could be done for this home aside from the necessary foundation repair. Erik brought forward the ideas to encapsulate the crawl space, waterproof the basement, get a dehumidifier, and get an air purifier. The homeowner agreed and scheduled a HomeSpec crew to come out for the work.

The crew was led by foreman Jim, to work on all of the projects simultaneously. The SmartJack® system began by cutting square holes into the basement floor and partially filling it with concrete to make a stable base. They positioned the steel column under the home's support beam to stabilize it and filled the remainder of the hole with more concrete to be level with the rest of the floor. As part of the basement waterproofing project, ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring was placed covering part of the concrete square.

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.

A homeowner in Flint, MI was dealing with persistent water leaks and mold growth in their basement. The problem had become overwhelming, and they realized they needed a permanent, professional solution. They reached out to HomeSpec for help. Ted, a senior project manager, provided a free inspection of the home. He confirmed the ongoing water intrusion and mold issues and explained how HomeSpec could resolve them.

Ted recommended installing a SuperSump® pump system to manage the water leakage and control moisture levels that were contributing to mold growth. To make the solution more effective, he also suggested adding an Interior Drainage System to capture unwanted water and direct it to the sump pump. The homeowner agreed to the plan, and a HomeSpec crew led by Vernon got to work. After the installation was completed, the homeowner was thrilled with the results and relieved to finally have a dry, healthy basement they no longer had to worry about.

A homeowner in Southfield, MI, was experiencing water leakage around their sump pump. They wanted to carpet their basement, but realized they needed to fix the water issue first. They called HomeSpec for help. A HomeSpec project manager inspected the basement, confirmed the water problem, and recommended a solution.

HomeSpec proposed replacing the current basin with a TripleSafe™ basin to ensure a new, functional sump basin accompanied the installation of an Interior Drainage System to direct any unwanted water to the sump pump. To complete the project, HomeSpec suggested finishing with the EverLast™ Finished Wall Restoration System, which provides a clean, finished look and protects the basement walls. The homeowner agreed to the plan, and the HomeSpec team promptly completed the work. The homeowner was very pleased with the results and glad to be able to finish their basement.

A homeowner from Dearborn, MI, was experiencing basement leakage every time it rained. Their basement was partially finished, and they did not want water to ruin any of their belongings. They contacted HomeSpec for assistance. Senior Project Manager Keith conducted an inspection, confirmed the leakage, and assured them that HomeSpec could help.

Keith proposed installing a  SuperSump® Premier Pump System to prevent water leakage and an Interior Drainage System to direct unwanted water to the sump pump. He also suggested completing the project with a CleanSpace® Wall System to prevent further leaks and give the basement a clean finish. The homeowner agreed, and a team led by Michael completed the work. The homeowner was pleased with the final results and relieved to have peace of mind about their basement.
