Before & After Photos

A Sterling Heights, MI homeowner noticed multiple leaks throughout their unfinished basement. While there were no visible cracks, it was clear that water intrusion was still occurring. Their primary concern was the water getting into the basement near the electrical box. They did not want to risk things worsening, so they contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Jeremiah, a project manager for HomeSpec, inspected the basement and devised solutions for the homeowner’s concerns. He discussed his ideas with the homeowner and together they finalized a plan. The homeowner agreed to install a new sump pump which would connect to an interior drainage system using WaterGuard® French drains. Additionally, CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier would be installed to protect the walls and the electrical box. A team led by Brandon completed these projects aside from the plumbing which was done by Rick. The homeowner approved of their work and was happy with the final results.

Like many people, these homeowners were plagued by a wet, humid basement. They had leaking cracks and rod holes that needed repairing as well. Many belongings were stored in their basement so they needed a reliable, permanent solution to fix their problem. That's where HomeSpec came in to save the day!

The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed to waterproof the basement. This was connected to a brand new TripleSafe sump pump since the one they had was quite outdated. Then a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed to keep the relative humidity at a healthy 55%. The homeowners also wanted a CleanSpace vapor barrier installed over the walls after the cracks and rod holes were sealed. This blocks humidity and water vapor from entering the basement.

HomeSpec gave this basement the ultimate protection from water issues, and the homeowners are very pleased that no water has leaked into their basement since! 

Our team installed an interior drainage system in a basement where water was coming through the floor.

A homeowner in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI had worked with HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in the past to fix a crack in the basement wall. Unfortunately, the basement had flooded more than once. While the house was being inspected by one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Ted, he also suggested new flooring. The homeowner contemplated this option at the time of the crack repair but decided to tackle one issue at a time. A couple of months later, the homeowner reached out to HomeSpec again, this time prepared to install new flooring.

The flooring HomeSpec offers is not your average hardwood or tile flooring. ThermalDry® Basement Floor Tiles are made of waterproof materials that are designed to stay warm and comfortable while also staying dry and mold-free. This homeowner chose the carpet version in the color Mocha. They witnessed the basement transform as Jim and his team installed carpet tiles. They were happy with the finished product and could rest easy knowing the floors would never buckle or peel off of the floor.

A homeowner in Grosse Pointe, MI, was experiencing water leakage throughout their basement. It was creating moisture and mold. They decided to call HomeSpec to get a free inspection of their home. HomeSpec's project manager, Bill, went to give the inspection. He confirmed the water leakage and knew HomeSpec could help.

Bill proposed installing a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to provide protection to the basement, accompanied by an Interior Drainage System to guide the unwanted water to the sump pump. The homeowners accepted this plan, and Rick from HomeSpec got to work on the installations. The homeowners were glad to have peace of mind regarding their basement.
