Flint homeowners often face challenges with basement water intrusion due to environmental conditions and the region's soil composition. The clay loam soil prevalent in Flint can retain moisture, leading to increased pressure against basement walls during periods of heavy rainfall. With Flint's average annual precipitation of approximately 30 inches, water can seep into your basement, resulting in cracks and leaks that create a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Foundation Systems of Michigan offers effective basement waterproofing solutions using interior drains, sump pumps, wall vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers to keep your basement dry and safe.

"FSM recently completed the waterproofing of our basement and crawl space, along with replacing our sump pump. Initially, we were a bit hesitant due to the potential disruption, but we knew it would add great value to our home. From the start, we had a wonderful experience. Brian provided our quote and thoroughly explained the entire process, putting our minds at ease. The team also handled all necessary permits, ensuring everything was done by the book. The execution team, led by Alex, was exceptional. Alex and his crew demonstrated outstanding work ethic, kept us informed at every stage, and were very careful to keep the premises clean. They truly went above and beyond, even taking extra care with cleaning up afterward.
I'm typically not the kind of person who writes reviews, but given the scale and investment of this project—and the excellent job FSM did—I felt it was important to share my experience. I hope this review helps others in making their decision. I highly recommend FSM for your waterproofing needs."
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.
