Basement Systems of Michigan

Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair, Basement Remodeling,

About us

Call toll free 888.DRY.NOW8. Basement Systems of Michigan is a full-service waterproofing and foundation repair contractor. We are committed to providing the very best products, services, and techniques to provide you with a dry, usable, lower living level. Whole house health begins at the foundation. We pride ourselves on the professionalism of our staff and we will respond to your inquiry, arrive on-time for our appointment, do a thorough inspection, explain the options, and provide a written estimate to complete the repairs. We are a responsible company that takes many factors into consideration prior making a recommendation for your project. We are not a franchise and are not "locked in" to a particular product line. We are constantly improving our services, products, and procedures to bring you the very best solutions available. We carry a full builder's license, are fully insured, and use employees, rather than sub-contractors, to complete your project. Most of our work comes with a lifetime, transferable warranty so you can be assured the job will be done right and you'll have peace of mind when it comes time to sell your home. We are the first, and only, radon mitigation certified waterproofing and foundation repair company in Michigan. We are not radon certified because that is our main line of work. We are radon certified because it is the responsible thing to do. The typical waterproofing system installed by the typical waterproofing company can actually INCREASE the introduction of radon into the home. This can, albeit inadvertently, harm the homeowners. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and kills approximately 21,000 people in the United States every year. If you're a smoker, your risk increases by 900%. Radon is an odorless, colorless, tasteless radioactive gas that is a by-product of the decay of radium. It is present in all 50 states and is simple to test for and to mitigate. Don't take a chance with your family's health. Choose a company that goes "the extra mile" to ensure that the solution that is recommended to you is one that is truly in your best interest, not just the best interest of their pocketbook. We have many different solutions that can take your damp, dank, musty basement and completely transform it into a dry, clean, healthy lower living level that is just as much a part of the home as the living room or kitchen. Building scientists tell us that up to 50% of the air you breathe on the first floor comes from the basement or crawl space. What are you and your family breathing? Do you have a crack in your foundation? To paraphrase Sigmund Freud, "Sometimes a crack is just a crack." Sometimes it's more. Cracks "tell a story" and you don't want to put a "band aid" on a structural crack. You also don't want to perform major structural repairs on a simple shrinkage crack. Let our trained foundation specialists inspect your home and provide an honest assessment of the situation. When our inspector arrives, you will get a thorough inspection of your home, an explanation of the problem, potential causes, and options for repair. You will then get a complete, to the penny, written estimate. No high pressure sales techniques. You will feel comfortable with the solution, the price, and the timing or we won't schedule the job. Award winning.

The service didn't work out good at all. The owner showed up and he was very nice but I didn't get a report. I got verbal feedback not written feedback. The guy was very knowledgeable but forgot to follow through.

I have written 2 reviews online and one of your customer service staff called and had to give another review while I was at work, was on the phone with him for over 30 minutes with 100 questions on the review and you still send me reminders to give a review. Something needs to get fixed on your end with these obnoxious reminders

We scheduled an appointment and they did not show up. I got a hold of them a few weeks later and they said they would get somebody out. They never came and I am going to get a refund for the deal.

It turned out well. They were nice to work with. They were courteous, timely and professional. I don’t have any negatives. I contacted them through Angie’s List. It was a big deal purchase. They didn’t charge anything extra for the inspection. Overall it was excellent. They were little expensive on pricing. Quality was excellent.

The consultation went well; the workers were punctual and the quality of work was good but the clean up was horrible. The new concrete was not level and there were large pieces of broken concrete laying around the basement even under my washing machine and dryer.
Description of Work: The workers broke up the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installed weeping pipes to collect ground water.

After buying the angies deals, we contacted the service provider. They mentioned that they did these kind of inspections as part of them providing a estimate for free (without any cost). Thus, there is no use for this deal.

I contacted Basement Systems of Michigan and explained that we had a leak somewhere in our basement. They said we should call an infrared company to detect the leak. They told me that they aren't the right company to fix cracks or rod hole rot. The company they referred was very helpful and we appreciate that they were honest in telling us that they wouldn't be able to help us.

I was very disappointed with the service provided. The technitian didn't inspect anything as i have a partial finished basement. He wasn't willing to inspect even the non-finished part of the basement. All he told me that he need to tear apart the bathroom and walls to inspect anything. My question is why did he even bothered to come out to inspect if he can't do anything with the finished basement. I think i should get a refund for this service.

Initally contacted the company 2 months ago for an estimate and spoke with a person. They made a recommendation on getting a thermal imaging evaluation since I have a finished basement and wasn't sure exactly were the leak was. After taking their recommendation, was able to isolate where the leak was without tearing down a lot of walls. Reached out to the company 4 times over 10 days and left messages. I was trying to get them to do two basements for me and said as much in my messages. Not one returned call. Since the weather is changing, I can no longer wait for them. If this is how I ran my business, I wouldn't have one. Very dissapointing that Angie's list shows them with high ranking, but they are not responsive. I would not choose them until they get thier act together. All I asked for was a call back - they already had the job, just needed to call. I understand that companies can get busy, but not even returning a clall is unacceptable. I will be selecting someone else to do the work and I won't be recommending them to anyone else I know.

The Service Provider's initial visit was interrupted since we could not get into the rental home, but he provided an estimate without viewing the problem, which was not acceptable to me. On the second visit, the price had not changed, which almost totaled $6,000. Based on this estimate, I have decided to get three additional estimates to make certain that the problem was fairly assessed.

Awful. They are a totally unprofessional organization. The fan on our Radon System stopped working. We chose this group because of their mostly positive Angie's List reviews. Maybe something has changed, but it did not seem that they wanted our business. It took several weeks to get a quote. When this finally happened, we immediately responded with a signed agreement and tried scheduling the appointment. We sent several follow-up notes and phone calls. Maybe the business doesn't exist anymore or they chose not to do small projects, but a professional person would return the call. We're glad we've gone elsewhere.

Purchased through Angie's List Big Deal. Was contacted the next day by provider. Appointment was set for 2 weeks later. We waited and no one showed up - we called the provider and was told that there was a death in the family of the Technician. Another appointment was set - same story repeated - no one showed during the appointment window given to us, we called the provider after the appointment time had passed and were told that Technician's car had broken down and that the appointment would be rescheduled for a later date. We called again after a few days and left a message, but our call was never returned. Contacted Angie's list for a refund. Disappointed with the (non) service received from provider and lack of professionalism.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it turned out fine, they did the inspection. The guy who came out was friendly enough and seemed competent. All he did was look around and point out things that could possibly be improved and tell us what parts we did not have to worry about. I can't compare it to any other inspection so it was fine.
