Who this record is for A family-owned basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space, and concrete-leveling contractor based in Westland, in business since 1994. Their public record is unusually complete for this category: they publish a legal company name, an owner, and a contractor ID, and they list themselves as an affiliated dealer in the Basement Systems and Foundation Supportworks networks. That fits owners of older Downriver and western Wayne homes dealing with water after rain, foundation cracks, or settling concrete. Every fact below is labeled with its source and the date we checked it.

Not every basement problem is a waterproofing job. A strong sewage smell at a floor drain is usually a plumbing issue, call a licensed plumber. A bowing, cracked, or visibly shifting foundation wall is a structural issue, get a structural engineer before any water fix. A waterproofing contractor treats water intrusion, not the pipe or the wall itself.

Shading shows where basement-flood risk concentrates within the service area this company states on its own website (checked Jul 4, 2026). It reflects our risk index for those communities, not this company's job volume. Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Monroe, and Adrian are also stated but sit outside the three-county index.

Their service area concentrates in the older Downriver river communities, Wyandotte (79), Trenton (55), and Southgate (54), where pre-1960 housing and combined sewers make interior drains and backwater valves matter most, alongside their home city of Westland (38). These suburban scores are modeled from housing age and labeled as such. See methodology or the full 116-community ranking.

Questions to ask this contractor

Based on the open items in this record and the risk profile of the area they serve
  1. "What is your current Michigan residential builder license number and its status?"Their site footer shows a Contractor ID, and an older page shows a different builder license number. Ask for the current one, then verify it free at LARA's license search.
  2. "Which legal entity will be on my contract, Home Inspections Plus, Inc.?"HomeSpec is a trade name. The company's stated legal name is Home Inspections Plus, Inc. The entity on the contract is the one your warranty lives with.
  3. "Is the warranty transferable if I sell, and does it cover both the waterproofing and any foundation or concrete work?"They do several trades. Get the coverage and transferability of each in writing, especially in older, higher-risk communities.
  4. "Do you recommend a backwater valve for my block, and is it in the quote?"Much of their Downriver service area sits in combined-sewer territory, where city-main backups, not just seepage, are the flood path. See our combined-sewer overlay.
  5. "Will the crew be your own employees, not subcontractors?"Their site states they do not subcontract their work. Confirm it in writing, and see our guide to choosing a contractor for the other red flags.
