Basement Waterproofing from a local Metro Detroit team
Water can reach a basement through several paths, including foundation cracks, wall or floor joints, surface drainage, and groundwater pressure. The right solution starts with understanding where the moisture is coming from. DeWitt considers the home, grading, gutters, downspouts, and interior conditions before recommending work.

Basement Waterproofing FAQ
Why is water entering my basement?
Possible causes include grading, gutter discharge, cracks, wall or floor joints, and groundwater pressure. An on-site evaluation is needed to identify the most likely source.
Will waterproofing make my basement usable?
A drier basement can support future use, but waterproofing is only one part of a finished-space plan. Existing damage, humidity, ventilation, and building requirements may also need attention.
Should gutters be checked when a basement is wet?
Yes. Overflowing gutters, short downspout discharge, and poor surface drainage can contribute to water collecting near the foundation. DeWitt considers those factors during the evaluation.
Can basement waterproofing be financed?
Multiple financing options are available for qualified homeowners. DeWitt work is backed by a lifetime guarantee covering labor, parts, and materials with one-time transferability.
