Basement Waterproofing in Clinton Township, MI

Waterproofing in Clinton Township, from people who work here

Clinton Township is one of the biggest communities in Michigan, and most of its housing went up between the 1960s and the 1990s. That puts a very large number of foundations at the age where the original waterproofing — if there was ever more than a coat of tar on the outside wall — has simply reached the end of its life.

Exterior damp-proofing applied at construction was never meant to last fifty years, and it does not. As it fails, water starts finding the cove joint, old cracks reopen, and block walls begin wicking moisture through the cores. Add the Clinton River running through the township and the low ground around it, and there are whole neighborhoods where the groundwater table is the deciding factor. What actually solves this is relieving pressure from the inside: drain tile at the footing, a sump with real capacity, and repair of the specific entry points rather than a coating over the top of them. Where a wall has started to bow from years of lateral clay pressure, that gets addressed structurally before any waterproofing goes in — sealing a moving wall is money wasted.
