Take Care of Your Basement Wall Cracks

As you take care of your home, there are many things you can do to help keep your home safe, secure, and livable in the long run. Waterproofing your basement in Metro Detroit is one of the most important things you can do,and this isn’t just because we are waterproofers!

Everyone here at Mr Rooter Basement Waterproofing has seen what happens without proper waterproofing in Michigan, and it makes waterproofing something we definitely recommend to everyone.

Because floods and leaks happen in Michigan! Even if you haven’t had a water problem yet, it doesn't mean you will not have a major issue right around the corner. Floods and leaks are a mess, a hassle, and they can be expensive to clean up and repair.

Your builder was not a waterproofer. While withstanding moisture should be a consideration that your home builder takes into account, it isn’t the primary focus. When your home was built, waterproofing was most likely not done, and if it was, the work most likely is not up to the quality one would get with a professional waterproofer in Michigan.

Your home shifts and settles. Over time, your home’s foundation can settle and shift. Usually this is due to the changes in moisture levels in the surrounding soil, but sometimes this is sped up because of improper planning by the builder, poor construction techniques, or lower quality materials.

Whatever the reason, these things happen, and they can lead to basement cracks and other changes in your home that can allow more moisture and even leakage into your basement.
