Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Superior Twp, MI had been experiencing a leak from a crack in their wall after they had tried to seal it up themselves. That's when they reached out to us to come and reinfect the crack with our High Powered Urethane Crack Injection to seal off the crack for good and prevent any further leaking into the basement.

A couple in Ypsilanti, MI struggled with every basement owner’s nightmares, cleaning up flood waters in the middle of the night. During a massive line of storms, a crack in the basement wall became a water spout. They were left cleaning up the water until 2 a.m. The couple has lived in this home for the last 11 years and they plan on it being their forever home. As such, they wanted to take care of it and protect their items stored in the basement. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Erik, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, went out to inspect the home and discuss the couples’ concerns. Aside from wanting to stop the leaks, they were also concerned about having bad allergies. After learning the situation firsthand, Erik was able to offer a repair plan. He proposed installing an interior drainage system using WaterGuard®, a sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This would then be connected to a new sump discharge and dry well, a type of water basin. The family was happy to hear about this combination of products and even happier after foreman Brandon and his team installed them.

A Milford, MI homeowner was experiencing water in their basement during heavy rains. They had also noticed cracking in the foundation walls. They had been in the home for nearly ten years and wanted to ensure it was taken care of if they decided to sell in the future. The homeowner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to inquire about a free inspection. After speaking with the call center team, they scheduled an appointment with a senior project manager named Erik. 

Erik visited the home and investigated where the water was entering from as well as any possible structural issues. After a thorough analysis, he returned to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan that fit their needs. Erik suggested installing an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® as well as installing a new basin. The homeowner agreed to this plan and a team was scheduled out to complete the work. 

The best part about basement waterproofing systems – such as French Drains and Sump Pumps – is that they keep your basement or crawl space DRY. They do this by collecting water before it seeps into the basement, and then funneling the water away from your home. But where does the water go?

The water needs to be pumped away from the home through the discharge line. It's best for it to be buried to hide the unsightly pipe and prevent tripping hazards. The further the discharge is from the home, the better – so the water coming out won't have a chance to leak back into the basement. 

That's what HomeSpec did for this homeowner in Willis, Michigan. The discharge line was extended and buried, and when it was finished, you could barely tell the grass was removed! 

This sump pump discharge line was extended a whopping 18 feet to connect to the storm basin! The interior drainage system collects water coming into the basement and deposits it into the sump pump, which then pumps the water away from the home through the discharge line. By burying the discharge line, it elmininates unsighlty pipes and tripping hazards.
