Why Troy basements take water
Troy filled in steadily through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and the result is a city of well-kept established subdivisions where the houses are old enough that their original foundation waterproofing has quietly reached the end of its service life.
These are generally solid homes with poured or block foundations on the same heavy clay found across the region. What we see is the predictable middle-age foundation picture: seepage at the cove joint after prolonged rain, older settlement cracks that have started weeping, tie rod holes leaking in poured walls, and sump pumps installed decades ago that are undersized for what the seasons now throw at them. Because Troy homes are typically well maintained, problems here are more often caught early than in some areas — which genuinely helps, since a weeping crack injected now is a far smaller job than a wall left to deteriorate for another five years.
Troy is about twenty miles from us and a routine trip. Free inspection, a straight explanation, and a written price before anything starts.

Questions Troy homeowners ask
Water is coming in through small holes in my poured wall.
Those are tie rod holes — the form ties used when the wall was poured leave a line of them. They were plugged at construction and those plugs fail over time. It is one of the more straightforward repairs there is: they are sealed individually, and it does not require a full system unless something else is going on.
How long should a sump pump last?
Broadly seven to ten years, less if it runs hard every spring. A pump from the original build in a 1970s or 80s home is well past that and living on borrowed time. Because they fail during storms — exactly when you need them — replacing an aging one before it goes is the cheaper path.
Can my Troy sump pump discharge onto the street or sidewalk?
The City asks that it not: Troy Code Enforcement lists sump discharge directed onto roadways or sidewalks as a hazard to be redirected. It is also the wrong place for the water from a basement's point of view — a line that ends at the curb or a few feet from the wall tends to send the same water back into the ground around the footing.
