How to Choose a Michigan Basement Waterproofer You Can Trust

Wet basements are not fun! Flooded basements are a homeowner’s nightmare. If you are suffering from constant worry about the health and safety of your basement, it’s time for a change. If you’ve tried DIY efforts to fix pooling water, cracks in your foundation, leaky basement windows, or high humidity, it’s time to find an experienced, professional waterproofer you can trust. A wet basement wastes valuable living space, damages building materials and stored possessions, pollutes the indoor air, risks the health of those living in the home, and puts your investment in your home at risk. That adds up to considerable risk.

Look for expertise, training, and experience.

When you choose a basement contractor in the Basement Systems network, you get a local company trained in and committed to the best waterproofing practices. Each contractor listed here is an expert in the diagnosis of sub-grade moisture problems as well as the design and installation of proper drainage, moisture and humidity control, and basement materials. Say good-bye to your wet basement with the best basement waterproofing in your neighborhood!

Why do Michigan Basements Get Wet?

Michigan’s significant water resources - over 26,000 inland lakes and 120 major rivers, many of which flow into the surrounding Great Lakes – contribute to the risk of flooding when snow melt and saturated soils coincide with spring rains (source: Michigan State University). Beyond the record-breaking flash floods like the 1975 spring flooding in Lansing, recent flooding such as the Grand Rapids River in 2013 and the Detroit River in 2014, put personal safety and homes at risk. These extreme events are less common, but you don’t have to experience a major flood event to be anxious about your basement.

Whether your home is in Muskegon, Marquette, Lansing, or Dearborn, a short heavy rainfall when the sump pump goes on the blitz can damage your basement. Water from the soils surrounding your home can seep through basement walls. Cracks in the foundation, rusty windows, a clogged sump pump, or deteriorating exterior drainage system can contribute to structural damage in your basement.

If your basement is a true “Michigan basement,” it likely has a dirt floor and rock walls. Created out of former crawl spaces by expanding downward and digging to a depth of 5 to 7 feet, Michigan basements offer greater storage and usability (State of Michigan glossary). However, they are also more challenging to keep dry, given the moisture-laden soil, especially if there are no installed vapor barriers. The same techniques and products your local Basement Systems contractor uses to encapsulate and dry out a crawl space is useful in a Michigan basement.

    Corey provided an excellent presentation as well as a couple courses of action to fix the problem. He was very knowledgeable and practical. The installation crew arrived on time and did a great job cleaning up. We are very happy with the whole process. Corey was very professional and the crew did a terrific job. I was very pleased they were able to unclog my old system. Corey indicated they would try, but I was not sure how "hard" they would try. They got it working and also did great work in installing the new system. A professional job in all aspects. Thanks!

    Sure Dry did an awesome job. I am very pleased with the work. I do feel bad about the snow storm but the crew still came and got the job done. Thank you. I was impressed Dave helped me carry my full wet dry vac up the steps and helped me empty it outside. My sump pump had stopped working and the sump hole was full of water. He made me understand the product I was getting in my home.

    The two reasons we chose NBS was for their excellent reputation and that their work is backed up with a warranty. Our sales representative did an excellent job explaining how our water problem could be repaired. He was very personable and professional. The crew arrived as discussed, they even called to let us know they would be arriving ahead of schedule. The installation crew was awesome. They were hard working and polite. The clean up was great. They left the job in A-1 condition. The office staff was also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend NBS. There's been a lot of rain here lately, and the best part is our basement is finally dry...the 1st time in years!

    It just seems that I did not receive straight talk in about the back fill and warranty discussions. Especially when the manager I talked to told me that clay was a better backfill. Clay is what caused the walls to crack in the first place. especially when you're putting lumpy clay in as back fill. It will take years to settle. Even though I put yes above, I would be hesitant to use Sure-dry again.
