Basement Waterproofing in Detroit, MI

Review Logo 4.7 (2,379)

In Detroit, the combination of an average annual precipitation of about 31 inches and the presence of clay-heavy soil can lead to significant basement issues. Homeowners often face challenges such as basement flooding, mold growth, and musty odors, particularly during the rainy season. The clay soil retains moisture, which can seep into basements and create an unhealthy living environment.

"Project was completed when scheduled. Marco M., Noel G., John M. were the guys that completed our basement waterproofing. They were prompt, professional and hard working. They completed the job efficiently and turned out better than anticipated. Would definitely recommend their service. Before and after pictures. We had paneling up that had to be removed(reason for 2x4s)."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Detroit

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.
