In Sterling Heights, your basement is at risk for water damage due to the area's clay soil and significant rainfall.

This not only increases the pressure on your basement walls but can also lead to cracks and leaks, creating an environment conducive to mold growth.

"Great work! Had some bad cracks and settling in my garage and driveway, but Noah and Chad came out and quickly got it squared away. They communicated well, got confirmation in the week and business day leading up to the work, and they were able to knock it out in one go."

Types of Basement Damage in Sterling Heights

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Sterling Heights

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.
