Basement Waterproofing in Southgate, MI

Review Logo 4.7 (2,291)

In Southgate, your basement is at risk for water damage due to the region's clay soil and significant precipitation levels. With an average annual rainfall of 32 inches and snowfall of about 38 inches, the saturation of the soil can lead to increased hydrostatic pressure against your basement walls. This pressure can result in cracks and water intrusion, creating a breeding ground for mold 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 Southgate with top-notch foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator solutions.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Southgate

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.
