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.

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.

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.
