Basement Waterproofing in Howell, MI

Review Logo 4.8 (331)

In Howell, MI, your basement serves as a valuable space for storage, recreation, or even a workshop, but it is vulnerable to water damage due to the area's clay soil and average annual precipitation of about 32 inches. This type of soil tends to retain water, which can lead to hydrostatic pressure against your basement walls after heavy rainfall or snowmelt, resulting in leaks and structural issues. Foundation Systems of Michigan offers effective basement waterproofing solutions such as interior drains, sump pumps, and wall vapor barriers to keep your basement dry and free from mold.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to assisting Howell homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator needs. Our commitment to high-quality home repair solutions is matched by our personalized service across Michigan. With a team of fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, FSM is here to ensure your basement remains a safe and functional space.

"FSM recently completed the waterproofing of our basement and crawl space, along with replacing our sump pump. Initially, we were a bit hesitant due to the potential disruption, but we knew it would add great value to our home. From the start, we had a wonderful experience. Brian provided our quote and thoroughly explained the entire process, putting our minds at ease. The team also handled all necessary permits, ensuring everything was done by the book. The execution team, led by Alex, was exceptional. Alex and his crew demonstrated outstanding work ethic, kept us informed at every stage, and were very careful to keep the premises clean. They truly went above and beyond, even taking extra care with cleaning up afterward. I'm typically not the kind of person who writes reviews, but given the scale and investment of this project—and the excellent job FSM did—I felt it was important to share my experience. I hope this review helps others in making their decision. I highly recommend FSM for your waterproofing needs."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Howell

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.
