Professional basement waterproofing, foundation repair, and crawl space solutions for homeowners in Macomb Township, Macomb County. Insured and backed by our lifetime warranty.
Macomb Township grew faster than almost anywhere in Michigan, going from farmland to one of the state's largest townships in about two decades. Nearly all of that housing sits on heavy clay that used to grow crops, and clay is the reason so many of these basements have water.
Clay does two things badly. It refuses to drain, so rainwater sits against the foundation instead of moving away from it. And it expands and contracts hard with moisture, which puts cyclical pressure on foundation walls year after year. On a subdivision home that is usually twenty years old or less, that shows up as vertical or diagonal settlement cracks in a poured wall, water at tie rod holes, and a sump pump running constantly every spring because it is handling more water than it was sized for. The fix is rarely dramatic: relieve the pressure with proper interior drain tile and an adequately sized sump, inject the cracks so they stop being an entry point, and correct the grading and downspout discharge so you are not delivering roof water straight back to the footing.
We work in Macomb Township constantly — it is under eight miles from the shop and a large share of what we do. Free inspection, a written scope, and a straight answer about whether your sump is genuinely undersized or just working hard.

Our two owners have more than twenty-five years between them waterproofing Southeast Michigan basements.
Clay soil and young backfill. The clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which flexes the foundation wall on a seasonal cycle, and the fill around a newer home is still settling underneath that. Vertical and diagonal cracks in a poured wall are the normal result. They are very repairable — injected properly, they stop leaking and stay stopped.
It means it is doing its job, but it is worth checking whether it is sized correctly and how old it is. A pump running continuously through a wet spring wears out fast, and the failure usually comes during the next big storm. We check capacity, cycle rate, the check valve and the discharge line, and tell you plainly whether it needs replacing or just a backup.
We come out, look at the basement, and trace where the water is actually getting in rather than guessing from the driveway. You get a written scope and a real number before any work starts — no pressure, and no obligation to book on the spot.
