Why your neighbors trust Foundation Systems of Michigan

We've earned 2,143 five star reviews.

"We had waterproofing and a sump pump installed in the basement. The team of Austin W., Nathan W., Devon W. and Isaac R. did an outstanding job. The amount of hard work that goes into a project of this type is off the charts. This team never stopped and worked incredibly hard the entire time they were on site. From prepping the site, to removing concrete, to the installation process - everything went like clockwork. Our job required a 50 foot pipe installation in the backyard. One person was responsible for digging the trench by hand. When he was finished, you could barely tell the yard had been dug up. Every person was polite, professional and skilled. We are so pleased this team handled our project. Thank you!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Royal Oak

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.
