Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted us because her poured concrete walls were cracked and leaking water into her basement.

Our crew solved her problem by first repairing the cracks with our polyurethane sealant. Then we covered the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect against moisture. Finally, we installed an interior drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and drain it away from the foundation. 

The homeowner was later able to finish her basement, and easily install carpet and drywall over the system!

The WaterGuard Drainage System is designed to keep basements dry and free from water damage, and it offers numerous benefits to these homeowners. For starters, it acts as a barrier against water intrusion and seepage, preventing water damage to valuables, furniture and important possessions stored in the basement. Furthermore, it helps to create a healthier indoor environment by reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can negatively impact the air quality in the basement and the overall health of the family. Ultimately, the WaterGuard Drainage System was a smart investment for this family who wanted to safeguard their basement from water damage and improve the overall quality of their home.

This homeowner in Detroit, MI was experiencing water leaking into their basement which was causing mold to grow and leading to further health issues, we solved this issue by re-flooring the basement and installing a WaterGuard Drainage system to prevent any further damage.

A homeowner in Detroit, MI, reached out to HomeSpec about their basement. They explained that they wanted to replace their support beams with something newer and more reliable. HomeSpec knew they could help and sent Elon, a senior project manager, to inspect the home. Elon quickly identified the problem and created a repair plan.

Elon suggested that HomeSpec replace the support beam with a SmartJack® support post. This replacement was ideal given the condition of the existing beam. The SmartJack® installation would provide stable, dependable support for the home. After the homeowner approved the plan, a team led by Jon quickly and efficiently completed the job. The homeowner was pleased with the final result and glad to have new, reliable support in place.

These homeowners contacted HomeSpec because they were suffering from a wet basement in their old Detroit home. They had made attempts to fix the drainage, but everything failed. Water was seeping through the block foundation walls after heavy rain, causing the paint on the walls to peel. The floors would also be damp. The basement was in bad shape and the homeowners didn't want to stress about any longer. 

Our team solved this problem by completely waterproofing the basement with an interior drainage system, vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and two new sump pumps. The vapor barrier over the walls will prevent water vapor and moisture from entering the basement and instead direct it down to the drainage system. After the water drains into the drainage system, it'll be directed toward the sump pump and expelled away from the home, preventing water issues.
