A homeowner from Macomb, MI, contacted HomeSpec after discovering water leaking into their unfinished basement. They use the space in many different ways and wanted to continue doing so without worrying about water damage. HomeSpec sent project manager Joshua to provide a free inspection of the home.
After completing his inspection, Joshua found that the homeowners’ sump pump did not have a backup system. Without a backup sump pump, a basement is much more likely to flood. Based on what he observed, Joshua proposed that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to install an UltraSump® system. This would provide the additional protection needed to prevent water leakage. The UltraSump is also a high-capacity battery backup system, offering protection if the primary sump pump fails or loses power.
In addition, Joshua recommended installing an Interior Drainage System to direct unwanted water to the sump pump, helping keep the basement dry and free of excess water. To finish the project, he suggested adding a clean, reliable finish with BrightWall®. This would protect the walls by preventing moisture and mold from damaging the basement. Once the homeowner agreed to the repair plan, a team from HomeSpec, led by Mike and Kevin and accompanied by Rick, a plumbing specialist, got to work on the repairs. When the job was completed, the homeowner was pleased to have a reliable, worry-free basement.
A couple in Macomb, MI has lived in a house for the last 23 years, since it was built. Unfortunately, there has been water leaking in the basement through a concrete foundation wall. They knew that if their children were to inherit the house they would want to take care of any and all issues first. They definitely did not want to leave mold or potential for more to grow. To get their basement assessed, the homeowners called HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair.
HomeSpec sent Chris B., an inspector, for the evaluation. He did a walkthrough of the home and a lap around the outside to get a full understanding of the condition. After speaking with the homeowners about their concerns, he provided some suggestions. A sump pump and WaterGuard® drainage system would capture the water and pump it away from the home while the Everlast Wall Restoration System would prevent future leaks and insulate the space. The wall waterproofing material also includes a 50-year warranty and offers a clean look. The homeowners approved all of the recommendations and HomeSpec scheduled a crew to begin the work.
The foreman, Brandon H., led the team in getting the work done efficiently. After installing the interior drainage system the crew turned their attention to the Everlast Wall Restoration System. They carefully removed the bottom portion of the basement walls and fitted the waterproofing material into place. The team used baseboards to finish the project and tidied up after themselves. The homeowners were pleased with the final results, a dry and beautiful basement.

A senior project manager, David, inspected the basement and the areas of concern. He shared a repair plan with the homeowners starting with a new sump pump. This would be connected to an interior drainage system as well as an exterior discharge line. These products would ensure that any intruding water is pumped out and away from the home.
