Basement Waterproofing in Dewitt, MI

Review Logo 4.9 (898)

A dry basement is crucial for maintaining a healthy home. In DeWitt, the combination of clay loam soil and significant annual precipitation makes basements particularly vulnerable to water damage. When rain or snowmelt saturates the soil, it expands and exerts pressure on your basement walls, leading to cracks and leaks. This moisture can create an environment for mold growth and unpleasant odors. Foundation Systems of Michigan offers effective basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, wall vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers, to keep your basement dry and functional.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing homeowners in DeWitt with comprehensive foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator services. Our mission is to deliver high-quality home repair solutions with a personalized touch. With a team of fully trained technicians and industry-leading products backed by national warranties, FSM is committed to restoring the integrity of your home's foundation and ensuring your peace of mind.

"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 Dewitt

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
