Before & After Photos

Owners of a home in Southfield, MI were worried about their sinking sidewalk and driveway. Water was pooling in front of the house and turning into a sheet of ice during the cold months. The homeowners had sought help from HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair just a year prior to address the water in the basement. They were happy with their sump pump solution and knew that HomeSpec would provide the right option for this issue as well.

A project manager named Elon went out to the home to investigate the sinking concrete during a free inspection. He took detailed notes and then discussed his findings with the homeowners. Installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe would capture water that had been pooling and direct it away from the concrete and home. To address the concrete that had already sunken, Elon recommended lifting the slabs with PolyLevel® Injection Foam. After lifting to an even level, the crew would seal the joints using NexusPro sealant and apply SealantPro, a protective layer. The homeowners approved of this repair plan and it was seen to completion by the teams of Fred and Rick.

A homeowner in Southfield, MI originally reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with interest in external waterproofing solutions. Unfortunately, water was entering their basement and causing trouble. HomeSpec did help with waterproofing the home thanks to the foremen, Vernon and Ryan, and their team. All was well that could be seen. However, hiding behind a section of drywall in a new area, there was a large foundation crack that later began to leak. 

The homeowner reached back out to HomeSpec and a project manager soon visited. This project manager inspected the crack and came up with a plan to fix the leak. They proposed to the homeowner that HomeSpec use a high pressure urethane injection to stop the leak. The injected material would fill the space behind the foundation wall that was allowing water to enter the basement. The repair team would then seal the crack on the inside of the wall to further prevent leaks.

HomeSpec regularly works with property management companies to ensure their homes remain dry and safe. One such company in Southfield, MI reached out for help with a leaky bi-level basement and full basement. It was clear that water had been streaking down the walls, leaving stains and cracked paint in its wake. HomeSpec sent a senior project manager named Keith to take a look at the home and derive a plan based on its condition.

During the free inspection, Keith took note of where the water was entering from. He noticed a plethora of rod holes throughout the foundation. Keith determined that the best solution would protect the home using a handful of waterproofing products. First, the rod holes should be repaired with high pressure urethane injections by a skilled technician, like Domonique. Next, an internal drainage system should be installed using WaterGuard® French drains. This system would connect to a sump pump that would then discharge any water away from the foundation. 

Finally, the walls would be lined with CleanSpace® vapor barrier to direct water into the system. The completed project resulted in a drier, more aesthetically pleasing basement!

Our team waterproofed the basement and installed an interior drainage system to prevent further water issues. 

These Dearborn, MI homeowners had reached out to HomeSpec to waterproof their basement. Water had damaged wall coverings, baseboards, and carpet. This concerned the family not only about the damage but also about mold and air quality. Their goal was to turn the basement into a safe area for their children to enjoy. With the threat of active water intrusion solved, the homeowners began to wonder about next steps. They contacted HomeSpec once more with the intention of installing basement finishing products for the walls and floors. 

David, the same project manager who helped this family waterproof their basement, came back to the home to discuss options available. He recommended installing Basement to Beautiful™ Panels to insulate the walls and ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring. This combination would keep the basement dry, warm, and make the space feel usable again. The homeowners agreed to this combination and were happy with the finished results! The crew that installed these products were led by Jon, a talented foreman.
