Dry finished basement with interior perimeter drainage and a sump pump

Saginaw · Midland · Bay City · Freeland

Basement waterproofing for Great Lakes Bay homeowners

Wet floors after a storm, seeping block walls, a sump pump that runs constantly — these are fixable. Saginaw Basement Solutions inspects the basement, finds where the water is getting in, and puts a drainage plan in writing.

Basement problems we're called about most

Mid-Michigan basements deal with heavy clay soil, a high water table near the Saginaw and Tittabawassee rivers, and freeze-thaw cycles that open cracks a little wider every winter. Most water problems trace back to a handful of causes.

Water on the floor after heavy rain

Storm water backing up at the footing pushes in through the wall-floor joint. Interior drainage moves it to a pump instead of across your slab.

Damp, musty air downstairs

Humidity coming through porous block and concrete keeps a basement smelling damp even when you never see standing water.

Cracks that weep

Vertical poured-wall cracks and cold joints leak under pressure. They can be injected and sealed without excavating the yard.

A sump pump that can't keep up

Old pumps, undersized pits and missing check valves are common reasons a basement floods during a spring thaw.

Efflorescence and flaking block

That chalky white residue is a sign moisture is moving through the wall and depositing salts as it dries.

Window wells that fill

Egress and hopper wells without drainage turn into buckets. Well drains and covers keep that water out of the basement.

How an inspection works

Tell us what you're seeing

Send the form with a short description and photos if you have them. It helps us come prepared.

On-site inspection

We walk the basement and the outside grade, check the pump and discharge, and find where water is entering.

A written scope and price

You get the recommended repair in plain language, what it addresses, and what it doesn't. No pressure to decide on the spot.

The work gets done

Crews protect the space, do the install, and walk you through how the system drains and how to maintain it.

Where we work

We cover the Tri-Cities and the surrounding townships. Pick your city for details on the soil, the housing stock and the drainage issues we see there.
