Basement Waterproofing in Big Rapids, MI

Review Logo 4.9 (906)

In Big Rapids, homeowners face unique challenges when it comes to basement moisture due to the region's sandy loam soil and average annual precipitation of about 31 inches. This combination can lead to water seeping into basements, especially during heavy rain or snowmelt, causing damage and creating a perfect environment for mold growth. Our basement waterproofing solutions utilize interior drains, sump pumps, wall vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers to keep your basement dry and usable.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, specializes in helping homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator needs. Our top priority is providing high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service across the state of Michigan. With fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, FSM is here to restore your foundation or basement.

"We recently had our crawl space encapsulated by FSM and the results are very impressive. The crew consisting of Tim, Kody, and Sid kept us informed all along the way. These guys attended to the work with diligence and care. They were thoughtful and took care that the work area was neat as well as our home. We can't thank them enough for the professional way they executed the project. When all was complete, I inspected the crawl space and was overwhelmed with the attention to detail and how meticulous Tim, Kody, and Sid are upon me seeing the results of their labor. These guys demonstrated a pride in what they do and it shows in the way they interacted with us. If anyone ever asks me about what to do about their crawl space I will certainly recommend FSM most strenuously and certain tell them if they get the work done, to ask for Tim, Kody, and Sid."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Big Rapids

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
