# Basement Waterproofing Birmingham, MI | NowDry ## BIRMINGHAM, MI · OAKLAND COUNTY In Birmingham, the Rouge River runs through town and the older neighborhoods all drain toward it. That puts steady pressure on basement walls and footings, and it is why a wet spring shows up on your basement floor long before anything looks wrong from the curb. Birmingham pairs 1920s homes with new construction that goes deeper below grade than anything around it. NowDry has kept Southeast Michigan basements dry for over 25 years. We are licensed and insured, we tell you honestly what your home needs, and every system we install is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.

Here is what we find most often on Birmingham service calls — and what we do about it. ### New builds beside old A deep new basement next door can change how groundwater moves under your lot — and your basement finds out first. ### Rouge River corridor Lots in the river's drainage path hold moisture long after the rain has stopped. ### Protecting finished space Most Birmingham lower levels are living space. We plan the repair around the finishes, not through them. ## Our services in Birmingham One crew, one warranty, and a written plan before any work starts. Nobody should live above a wet basement. ### Basement Waterproofing Interior and exterior systems that stop water at the source and keep it out for good. ### Drain Tile Systems High-capacity drain tile that outperforms traditional piping and resists clogging. ### Sump Pumps & Backups Properly sized pumps, sealed basins and battery backup for storm-season power loss. ### Foundation Repair Bowing walls, settling footings and structural support, corrected and warrantied. ### Cracked Wall Repair Epoxy and urethane injection that seals leaking cracks and tie-rod holes permanently. ### Crawl Space Encapsulation Sealed liners, drainage and dehumidification for dry, healthy air upstairs. ## Foundation repair built to last in Birmingham Water is rarely just a water problem. Left alone, it undermines footings, opens cracks and eventually bows a wall inward. Our team inspects the whole picture — grade, gutters, drainage, wall condition and the soil around your Birmingham home — then recommends only the work that solves the cause. We repair bowing and cracked basement walls, stabilize settling foundations, replace failing beams and posts, and install the drainage that keeps the repair permanent. Free inspections mean small problems get caught while they are still small. -  Licensed & insured local crews -  Lifetime transferable warranty -  Financing offered -  Honest inspections, clear recommendations ## Well reviewed by Birmingham & Southeast Michigan homeowners "Steve and his assistant were extremely knowledgeable, very fast at working and made minimal holes to our finished basement to repair many hidden tie-rod holes that had begun to leak.

Watch for dampness, musty odors, standing water, white powdery efflorescence on the walls, peeling paint, or cracks in the walls or floor. Any of those means water is already getting in, and the fix is cheaper before it reaches your finishes. WHAT DOES BASEMENT WATERPROOFING COST? It depends on the size of the basement, the severity of the problem and the method your home needs. We give you a written, itemized estimate after a free on-site inspection, and financing is available on larger projects. IS THE WORK WARRANTIED? Our basement waterproofing and foundation repair systems carry a lifetime transferable warranty. It protects your home for as long as you own it, and it transfers to the next owner if you sell. HOW LONG DOES THE WORK TAKE? Most interior drain tile and sump installations are finished in one to three days. Crack injection is often a single visit. Structural work takes longer, and we tell you the schedule up front rather than after we start. ## Also serving near Birmingham Your complete basement waterproofing and foundation repair experts across Oakland County and Southeast Michigan.
