Basement Systems of Michigan

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

They seemed okay. They came out when I called, but they didn’t want to do anything while they were out.

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.

They came out for an estimate, I booked the service, then they never showed up or called to reschedule.  Later I found out they tried to oversell me significantly.

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.

I purchased a Big Deal for a radon test. Everything was fine.

He told us we did not have a foundation leak problem, then made suggestions about what was actually needed.  How wonderful not to be cheated since I know nothing about cement.

They were extremely to get in touch with. They canceled their first appointment and didn't show up to the second appointment. When I do call its always a machine and they never contact me back.

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.

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.

The kit came in quick and was easy to use. Test results did not come in automatically and I had to call in to get the report, although that was rather easy and quick.

Nick arrived promptly at the appointment, and I told him about our experience with some wet carpet in our basement. I showed him the basement and the areas. He inspected cracks in the floor and wall and gave his honest assessment of the condition of our basement. Fortunately, we have nothing to worry about immediately. He described the process of how to correct cracks when the time comes and gave a ballpark estimate of the costs involved. He also suggested that we have the basement tested for radon as a routine procedure every three years or so. Nick was very knowledgeable, and I felt like I was given useful information and an honest assessment of what we have.

My husband said he enjoyed talking to the gentleman. He seemed to know what he was talking about. There is a crack. There's a couple of different opinions from people of what we should do about it. He's waiting for this guy to call and tell us what he can do. It was over a month from the time I called to make the arrangements before they could come out. That was kind of disappointing.
