Basement Waterproofing in Pontiac, MI

Review Logo 4.8 (328)

Your Pontiac basement is at risk of water damage due to the region's clay soil and significant precipitation levels. With an average of 31 inches of annual rainfall and 42 inches of snow, moisture can accumulate around your foundation, causing the clay soil to expand and exert pressure on your basement walls. This can lead to cracks and leaks, creating an environment ripe for mold and musty odors. At FSM, we offer effective basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, wall vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers to keep your basement dry.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to assisting Pontiac homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator needs. Our commitment is to deliver high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service throughout Michigan. With our experienced technicians, leading products in the industry, and nationally backed warranties, FSM is here to ensure your home's foundation and basement are secure and protected.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Pontiac

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.
