"I met Brian Maike in August when he came to talk to me about the Aquastop Perimeter Drain System. A friend had already had 3 estimates on her basement and when Brian gave me the cost, it was a little lower and what sold me is the lifetime warranty on the home.
David and his crew came out early on a Monday (Dom & Matt) and did a fantastic job making sure the dust from removal of the cement was taken care of and cleaned up afterwards. I noticed the musty smell which was causing mold was taken care of. After 2 inspections by my city, they returned on a Friday to cement the trench. (Eric instead of Matt this time.). They did a great job again carrying all the buckets of cement and again a great clean up job.
I’ve already passed along their info because of the great job done by all 5 of them. Brian was very helpful with answering all my questions before, during and at the end of the job."
Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Fort Gratiot
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.
