Before & After Photos

To be honest, wet basements are annoying for everyone. Whether your basement is fully finished or simply a storage room - no one wants water seeping in and causing damage. These East China homeowners used their basement for the latter - they stored old furniture and boxes of belongings, and only ventured downstairs to do the laundry once a week. 

For years though, water was seeping into the basement at the joint where the floor and the walls meet. Sometimes they'd even find cardboard boxes sitting in a puddle of water. After years of dealing with this headache, they finally decided to contact HomeSpec to look into their options. 

Our specialist recommended an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. Since the water was entering around the perimeter of the basement, this system is the best option. It would collect the water before it seeps into the basement and direct it to the sump pump, which would then expel the water away from the home. 

The homeowners are very happy with the results, and reported no leaks even after many heavy rains! 

This son contacted HomeSpec because his 94-year-old mother was experiencing water issues in the lowest level of her quad-level home. 

Water was seeping into the home's lower level at the joint where the floor and the wall meet. To solve this problem, HomeSpec installed an interior drainage system. This system is installed around the perimeter, preventing water from getting into the home.

We also installed a grate drain outside of the lower-level door since it's below grade. This will prevent water from pooling at the door and leaking into the home!

Egress windows come with a ton of benefits - from all the natural light they allow into basements, to the emergency exit they provide to keep your family safe. But without a proper window well and drainage, they are very susceptible to leaking. That's why this Marysville homeowner contacted HomeSpec. 

JoAnn's window well was leaking for two main reasons: 1) water was pooling in the well because of inadequate drainage and 2) absence of a window well cover to keep out water. 

To solve this problem, HomeSpec replaced the old wooden well with our Rockwell window well with proper drainage. We also installed a cover to keep out water and debris! 

Many people neglect their crawl spaces, especially the crawl space door. But it's much more important than you think, especially if your crawl space is already encapsulated - it's supposed to prevent water, humidity, and even critters from infiltrating. The door should fit perfectly, and provide an airtight seal. 

The door on this Palmyra crawl space was wooden and damaged by water. Bricks were placed in front just to hold the door shut. After encapsulating, HomeSpec installed our EverLast™ Crawl Space Door to waterproof the entrance. It's made of high-quality, inorganic material so it won't attract mold or rot over time. 

Our crews encapsulated a crawl space in Saline. We also installed an interior drainage system.
