"Choosing The Crack Team for our basement waterproofing was a great decision. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and took the job seriously. They walked us through the process and answered all questions patiently. After multiple rainstorms, there?s been no moisture at all. The improvement is noticeable and reassuring."

"I had several quotes for a fairly extensive leak in my poured basement wall resulting from poor workmanship during the original construction. Several contractors told me the foundation would have to be dug up to do a proper repair. I was hoping for another solution so I called this company. They came out to look and I was immediately impressed with their professionalism and candor. The first rep did not try to pressure sell me and even expressed skepticism that they could fix the problem. He called in other resources from the company to inspect it and offer their assessments. After careful examination and consultation with each other they determined that sealing the wall from the inside was feasible. I waited until now to write this review so I could be honest about how it turned out. Well, it hasn't leaked a drop! I would recommend this company to anybody. They earned my trust and they saved me a lot of money and grief."

"ErieHome waterproofed my basement. The crew was polite, kind, and came in, did an excellent job in 3 days by digging a trench on the inside of the basement, removing the dirt from the bottom of the foundation, installed corrugated tubing, rock and then cement. They also installed a Humidex airpurifier and new sump pump with a backup pump. They cleaned up afterward. Any questions I had were answered in a respectful manor. I now have peace of mind knowing that I no longer have to monitor weather forecasts for rain or have to clean up anymore incoming water. The system is warranted for the life of the house and included within the price, which increased the value of my home."

"Russ did an exceptional job dealing with waterproofing issues at our home in Troy. He was prompt, responsive and professional. More importantly, he dealt specifically with the actual problem, as opposed to competitors who were determined to offer extraordinarily costly and unnecessary drainage systems, which were absolute overkill to the actual problem. If I have an issue again, I'm calling Russ. He consistently had a thoughtful response to what I was seeing."

"West Water were ready to begin the contract with only one business day of notice. Very convenient. The contractor arrived on time. They estimated the work would take two days. One to dig and replace line in my back yard and one to dig and replace the connecting line in the alley. On day two they discovered the line was buried deeper than the machine on hand could dig. This resulted in an extra day of work at no additional cost to me, while contractor called in a machine capable of finishing the work. Work was completed without any further complications. Contractor ensured that none of the sewer line was exposed. Dirt was returned on top of where it was excavated. They accepted a personal check for the estimated cost . This contract went very well for me. I will contact West Water again if I require further related work."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Grosse Pointe, careful preparation of older stone or brick foundation walls is vital—skipping proper cleaning or using incompatible sealants can lead to early failure. Installing drainage systems like French drains requires precise grading to prevent water from pooling near the foundation. Sump pump selection and correct placement are also crucial, as is applying exterior waterproofing membranes that can withstand local freeze-thaw cycles and high groundwater.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Grosse Pointe should check if their property falls within a historic district, as this can affect exterior waterproofing and excavation options. The area’s high water table and dense clay soil often require enhanced drainage solutions, such as deeper French drains or additional sump pumps. Before starting work, confirm local permit requirements and coordinate with utility services to avoid disruptions from underground lines in older neighborhoods.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Grosse Pointe sometimes overlook the need for exterior drainage improvements, focusing only on interior fixes. Attempting DIY repairs without understanding local soil conditions or foundation repair best practices can lead to recurring issues. Skipping required permits or failing to schedule work during optimal weather windows often results in rushed or incomplete waterproofing. Neglecting regular sump pump maintenance and using materials unsuited for Michigan’s climate are also frequent pitfalls.

Helpful?

Grosse Pointe’s frequent freeze-thaw cycles and spring runoff put extra stress on foundation walls and basement moisture barriers. High humidity from Lake St. Clair can slow the curing of waterproofing materials, so scheduling projects during drier months helps ensure optimal results. Planning ahead for Michigan’s short construction season reduces weather-related delays and allows time for proper installation of drainage and vapor barriers.

Helpful?

In Grosse Pointe, foundation walls—especially in pre-1960 homes—are prone to water intrusion due to aging mortar and porous materials. Basement floor cracks, window wells, and utility penetrations are common entry points for moisture. North and east-facing exterior walls often experience more seepage from prevailing winds and rain. Crawl spaces and partial basements also tend to develop persistent dampness if not properly sealed.
