Basement Waterproofing in Southgate, MI

Review Logo 4.7 (2,383)

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

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.
