Basement Waterproofing in Grand Rapids, MI

Review Logo 4.9 (904)

In Grand Rapids, basement waterproofing is essential, particularly due to the area's significant rainfall and fluctuating humidity levels. The local climate often leads to freeze-thaw cycles, causing soil expansion and contraction that can result in settling or cracking foundations. Homeowners may experience troubling signs of water infiltration, such as wet walls or the presence of mold in their basements. Our advanced waterproofing solutions, including the BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System and AquaStop™ Sump Pump, are specifically designed to prevent these issues and provide long-term protection against moisture and structural damage.

"Over two years ago i had another individual come out, check my foundation and preceded to tell me that my house was going to collapse if my 1/2 drop working towards the main drain, went any further. Saying the only reason the collapse had not occurred yet, was due to the solid poured concrete walls. No solution other than at this point the house will stay standing. With that knowledge my house was on the verge of falling in on itself I finally decided to call sometime later to see if the inevitable was here. Thank goodness I got Mark Dunbar! Wish I would have asked the first time he was out instead of waiting longer. Come to find out all the worry over the past two years was unnecessary! He took the time to explain in detail why the house was good and what to look for in the event something does need to be addressed. You can see Marks passion for delivering correct information while keeping customers interest first and foremost! I’ll definitely be calling him when we need to purchase our quality made whole house dehumidifier!! Thanks again Mark for the phenomenal customer service!!"

Types of Basement Damage in Grand Rapids

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Grand 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.
