Before & After Photos

This homeowner was looking to have some natural light and air filtration in their basement, they were unsure how to proceed, but after reaching out to us, we came up with a custom solution that fit the needs of this homeowner.

Homeowners in Monroe, MI were due for new vent space cover as well as a crawl space encapsulation. This led them to reach out to us for a quick assessment and installation of the CleanSpace Systems. 

A Sand Creek, MI homeowner was concerned about water coming through their basement walls and flowing down the stairs. While they do not typically use the space, they still worry about water getting in and causing damage. They needed a solution to prevent a damp basement without breaking the bank, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Yann, inspected the basement, stairs, and other areas of the home to offer the best solutions. He recommended installing a TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe at the bottom of the stairs and lining the staircase walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier. This system could then feed into the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, sump pump, and sump discharge. The homeowner agreed to these repairs and HomeSpec scheduled foremen Jon and Vernon to lead their teams in the installations. They were pleased with the final product and knew their basement would stay dry.

Spring is by far the worst time for basements and below-grade spaces. First the snow melts at the end of winter and the soil around foundations becomes waterlogged, and then it rains for several months straight. This means major seepage in our basements, or worse - flooding. This homeowner in Morenci, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec for this very reason.

The homeowner would find puddles in her basement all throughout the year, but it was worst in the spring. The water was seeping in at the joint where the floor and the wall meet, which is very common since there is a gap there. One year, her basement even flooded. As she got older, this became more stressful to deal with and she needed a permanent solution. That's where HomeSpec comes in.

Our team installed an interior drainage system to waterproof the basement. This system collects the water before it can leak in, and deposits it into the sump pump. The sump pump can then direct the water up and away from the home to prevent water intrusion. 

The homeowner was happy to report that even after a rainy spring, she found no leaks in her basement!

A Palmyra, MI couple found their forever home 25 years ago. As they have aged together, getting up and down the basement stairs has become more of a challenge. They did not want to have to keep checking on the state of their basement which was suffering from moisture problems. Together, they made up their minds to get the basement in the best condition possible. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for solutions.

Elon, a project manager for HomeSpec, went out to the home for an inspection and conversation with the homeowners. He learned that the moisture issues were originating from the windows and proposed the couple install SunHouse™ Window Wells as the remedy. Elon explained that these SunHouse™ Window Wells add a protective barrier that keeps out rain, snow, and debris which prevents leaks from the windows. The homeowners approved of this plan and had the HomeSpec crews out for the installations. The two foremen leading the crews were Brandon and Ryan. The homeowners were happy with their work and their newly protected windows!
