(586) 569-6327Professional basement waterproofing, foundation repair, and crawl space solutions for homeowners in Richmond, Macomb County. Insured and backed by our lifetime warranty.
Richmond is two housing stocks in one small city. There is a genuinely old core near downtown, with foundations that predate anything resembling modern waterproofing, and then newer subdivisions on the edges built on what was farm ground.
The old ones are the more interesting job. Stone and early block foundations were built to shed water, not to stop it, and many were never sealed on the outside at all — the assumption was that a basement would be damp and that was acceptable. Making one genuinely dry means working from the inside: drain tile at the footing, a sump where none ever existed, and careful repair of a wall that may be irregular, laid with lime mortar, and not at all square. The newer homes on the outskirts are the familiar clay-and-settlement picture instead, with poured walls, settlement cracks, and grading that has sunk since the build. We quote them differently because they are different jobs, and we will tell you which one your house is.
Richmond is six miles from the shop, so it is an easy one for us. We inspect free and give you a written number, whether it is an old stone basement or a fifteen-year-old poured wall.

Yes, though the approach is different from a modern basement. You do not try to seal a stone wall from the inside — it was never built to be watertight and coatings fail on it. What works is relieving the water: interior drain tile at the footing, a properly placed sump, and repointing where the mortar has failed. Done properly it is a permanent fix, not a patch.
Often. Plenty of older Richmond homes were built without one because nobody expected the basement to be usable space. Adding a sump means cutting a basin into the slab at the low point, tying it into new drain tile, and running a proper discharge — standard work for us, and usually the single biggest improvement an old basement can get.
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.
