Before & After Photos

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.

A Palmyra, MI couple found their forever home 25 years ago. As they have aged together, getting up and down the basement stairs has become more of a challenge. They did not want to have to keep checking on the state of their basement which was suffering from moisture problems. Together, they made up their minds to get the basement in the best condition possible. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for solutions.

Elon, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home for an inspection and conversation with the homeowners. He learned that the moisture issues were originating from the windows and proposed the couple install SunHouse™ Window Wells as the remedy. Elon explained that these SunHouse™ Window Wells add a protective barrier that keeps out rain, snow, and debris which prevents leaks from the windows. The homeowners approved of this plan and had the HomeSpec crews out for the installations. The two foremen leading the crews were Brandon and Ryan. The homeowners were happy with their work and their newly protected windows!

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.

After moving into a 1970s house in Britton, MI, the homeowner discovered water in the basement. When it rained, water intruded and damaged the floor and walls. Two months after this discovery, the problem got worse. The homeowner was eager to protect their new investment and called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.

HomeSpec sent one of their trained project managers to conduct an inspection of the basement. They spoke with the homeowner about their concerns and then explored both the interior and the exterior of the house. After a thorough review, the project manager proposed a repair plan. They recommended installing an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® French drains throughout the basement. This system would then connect to a new sump pump and discharge line, escorting the unwanted water out of the basement and away from the house. The homeowner agreed to this repair plan and scheduled it for execution by a HomeSpec crew.
