Before & After Photos

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!

A homeowner was having an issue with water leaking into their 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.

Your sump pump should always be pumping water away from your foundation. Especially if you live in an area with a high water table or a high level of water around your foundation, you need a reliable sump pump to keep your basement from flooding. This Melvindale homeowner did not have that - sometimes her sump pump wouldn't work at all. This made her constantly worry, until she finally contacted HomeSpec.

Our crew installed a brand new TripleSafe sump pump. This provides triple the protection with 3 powerful pumps that expel 2,000 gallons of water every hour. 

Now the homeowner doesn't have to worry about her basement flooding, knowing it's in good hands. 

Jenny W. from Birmingham, Michigan contacted HomeSpec after finding water leaking into her basement after a bad storm through the floor/wall joint and cracks in the walls. 

HomeSpec had a solution for her wet basement woes: a waterproofing system. This includes a WaterGuard Drainage System that installs around the perimeter to collect water before it leaks into the basement. This then deposits water into the TripleSafe Sump Pump (with 3 pumps for triple the protection) which funnels water away from the home. 

We also installed our Foamax Basement Wall Panels to hide the unsightly foundation walls, brighten up the space, and drain any water leaks into the drainage system.  

The basement's transformation was astounding and Jenny couldn't be any happier with the results!
