Northville MI – Waterproofing Finished Basement
We had a homeowner on Applewood St. in Northville call us recently, concerned about a water issue in her basement. Knowing that the problem needed to be fixed, she gave us a call, but was concerned about the fact that the basement was finished.
This is a common sentiment with homeowners who are concerned that having a finished basement with drywall and carpet will make repairs prohibitively more expensive. This then leads to people putting off the problem longer, potentially leading to more damage and higher costs in the end.

A lot of factors can play a role in the lifespan of your existing basement waterproofing system, including soil conditions, climate, landscaping, grading and more. In Michigan, the life expectancy of the original basement waterproofing system generally lasts between 25-50 years in most cases. It only takes a little bit of water to cause major water damage, so when you start to notice moisture it’s only a matter of time until things get worse.
We sent an inspector out to give her a free estimate, and ensured her that we would indeed be able to make the necessary repairs. We installed a full perimeter waterproofing system, along with two battery back-up sump pumps.
We were able to remove the finished drywall to make all of the necessary updates, and replace it exactly as it was. We even moved a full bar and put it back, and when we were done it looked like we were never even there. And now the homeowner has a lifetime warranty on the basement waterproofing and the peace of mind that comes with that.
