Basement Waterproofing in Oak Park, MI

Review Logo 4.7 (2,317)

In Oak Park, your basement serves as a vital part of your home, whether it's for storage, recreation, or additional living space. However, the area's clay soil combined with its average annual precipitation of about 32 inches makes basements particularly vulnerable to water damage. Heavy rainfall and melting snow can lead to water accumulation around your foundation, causing the clay soil to expand and exert pressure on basement walls. This can result in cracks, water leaks, and mold growth, creating an unhealthy environment. Our expert basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, wall vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers, help keep your basement dry and safe.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing top-notch foundation repair and waterproofing services tailored to Oak Park residents.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Oak Park

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.
