Getting The Proper Foundation For Your Home in Michigan

Homeowners need proper foundation drainage in all areas, especially in Springtime with the heavy rain falls. These heavy rainfalls put stress on your Michigan basement walls. Hydrostatic pressure causes cracks in your basement, dampness, and mold in your basement walls which in turn increases as the surrounding soil becomes saturated with rainwater. This means the soil becomes heavier and causes more hydrostatic pressure. We specialize in basement waterproofing and can install interior drainage as well as exterior drainage systems. For all basement waterproofing Michigan problems, we have a resolution for you. 


Make sure you have a good waterproofing system set into place in Michigan that will allow excess water to be driven away from your houses foundation. This will reduce the hydrostatic pressure on your walls. This can be done by installing footing drains that run the perimeter of your house. It will deposit excess water into a sump pit. Internal basement waterproofing systems in Michigan can help with visible problems like mold or wet walls, but they won't eliminate hydrostatic pressure problems like external systems can.
