Professional basement waterproofing, foundation repair, and crawl space solutions for homeowners in Grosse Pointe, Wayne County. Insured and backed by our lifetime warranty.
The Grosse Pointes have some of the best-built older housing in the region, and some of the deepest basements. Both are worth protecting properly rather than patching.
Most of what we work on here was built between roughly 1910 and 1940 — substantial homes with full, deep basements, often finished at some point over the last century. Two things drive the water problems. The lake keeps the water table high, so there is steady hydrostatic pressure against walls sitting well below grade. And a century of freeze-thaw has worked on the original mortar and the cove joint, so the water has somewhere to go. Because these basements are frequently finished, the damage is often well underway before anyone sees it — the first sign is a musty smell or basement mold behind panelling rather than visible water. We are careful in finished spaces: we trace the entry point before opening anything up, and scope the work so you are not tearing out more than the repair actually requires.
Grosse Pointe is about twenty-five miles from our New Haven shop — a straightforward run down Jefferson, and worth it for the kind of work these homes need. We inspect in person, explain what is causing the water rather than just where it shows, and put a real number in writing before anything starts.

Usually, yes — and it is the first thing we look at. We trace where the water is actually entering before opening anything, so the work is scoped to the entry point rather than the whole perimeter. Sometimes an interior drain does need the bottom of a wall opened up; when that is the case we tell you before we start, not halfway through.
Because the basements are usually finished. Moisture moves through the wall into the framing and drywall behind the panelling, feeding mold growth long before enough gets through to puddle on the floor. A musty smell in a Grosse Pointe basement is worth investigating early — it is often the only warning you get.
