Basement Waterproofing in Dearborn, MI

Review Logo 4.7 (2,322)

Dearborn homeowners often face challenges with water seepage in their basements due to the region's clay and loamy soil coupled with significant precipitation. With an average of 32 inches of rain and around 42 inches of snow annually, the moisture can accumulate around your foundation, leading to increased pressure on basement walls and resulting in cracks and leaks. Foundation Systems of Michigan provides effective basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, wall vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers to keep your basement dry and mold-free.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to helping Dearborn residents with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator needs. We prioritize delivering high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service throughout Michigan.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Dearborn

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.
