At Basements Plus, we specialize in interior waterproofing systems that keep your basement dry, healthy, and ready for finishing.
You don’t need standing water to have a real problem. Here are five signs that water is getting into your foundation:
If you’re seeing even one of these, it’s worth having someone take a look. Small problems have a way of becoming expensive ones and a basement that smells musty or shows water damage is one of the first things a home inspector will flag. That can cost you when it’s time to sell, either in negotiating power or in buyers walking away altogether.
The reason waterproofing quick fixes don’t work is because they treat symptoms, not the source.
If you’ve already tried crack filler, waterproof paint, or foam injections, you’re not alone. Most homeowners try these first. They’re cheaper and they seem logical, but they don’t relieve the hydrostatic pressure building up around your foundation. A ‘quick fix’ will stop the leak temporarily, but the hydrostatic water pressure will just create another crack or start bowing the foundation wall – and comprise the structure of your home.
An interior basement waterproofing system doesn’t try to block water out — it manages water before it can cause damage. It captures it, routes it to a sump pump, and discharges it safely away from your home.
A properly installed system:
The result is a basement that stays dry, not just during the next rainstorm, but consistently, year after year.
Getting quotes can be stressful. You hear different solutions from different contractors, see a wide range of pricing, and end up more confused than when you started. For more than 20 years, Basements Plus has worked to make that experience straightforward. Here’s how it works with us:
Financing is available, and full-perimeter systems start around $10,000 depending on the size and scope of the project.
Yes. Qualifying Full-Perimeter Waterproofing Systems installed by Basements Plus include a transferable warranty that can be passed on to the next homeowner.
That transferability matters in Southeast Michigan’s housing market — it gives prospective buyers confidence that the basement has been professionally waterproofed and is backed by an established local company. It can make your home more attractive and better protected on resale.
A warranty is only as valuable as the company standing behind it. Before choosing any waterproofing contractor, read their Google reviews and look for evidence that they honor their commitments long after installation is complete.
It’s a system installed inside your basement that collects groundwater and channels it into a sump pump system to prevent flooding and seepage.
Costs vary based on square footage and system components but start around $10,000 for full-perimeter systems. Financing is available.
Yes! A dry, usable basement boosts resale value and protects your foundation — two major selling points for Michigan homes.
Absolutely. In fact, many homeowners choose to waterproof before finishing to ensure their investment is protected.
We’ll help you address both. Exterior drainage corrections may be needed alongside an interior system for complete protection.
If your basement has been a problem or even just a worry, the best thing you can do is get a clear answer. Schedule your free inspection and we’ll tell you exactly what’s going on and what it will take to fix it.
