HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, MI
Highland Township is rural lots, well water, and a water table that runs high in places. Long downspout runs and septic fields change how water gets to a foundation. Water in a basement is rarely only a basement problem — it feeds mold in the air upstairs and, given long enough, weakens the ground your foundation rests on.
NowDry has worked on Highland Township basements for more than 25 years. We are family-owned, licensed and insured, and we cover Highland, Milford and White Lake. You get a straight answer about what is wrong, a written fixed price, and a lifetime transferable warranty on the work.

Highland Township Basement Waterproofing Services
A wet basement in Highland Township almost always comes down to one of three things. Water pushing through the wall. Water coming up where the wall meets the floor. Or a sump pump that cannot keep up with a heavy rain. We work out which one you have before quoting anything.
Then we fix the cause rather than the symptom. That might be an interior drain tile line, an exterior system, a new pump with battery backup, or a crack injection. Most jobs are some combination. Here is what we handle:
- Leak Detection and Repair: We quickly identify and repair basement leaks, offering customized solutions to prevent water damage.
- Drain Tile Installation: Our effective drain tile systems redirect water away from your foundation, preventing buildup around basement walls.
- Sump Pump Solutions: We provide state-of-the-art sump pump installation and maintenance to keep your basement dry, even during heavy rain or floods.
- Basement Wall Repair: Our experts assess and repair cracked basement walls, enhancing your home's structural integrity.
- Foundation Services: We address issues impacting your home's stability with specialized foundation repair, preserving your property's structural integrity.
- Bowing Walls and Crack Correction: We offer dedicated services to rectify bowing walls and cracks in your basement, with customized solutions based on the issue's severity.
- Basement Transformation: We combine effective waterproofing with aesthetic refinishing services to turn your basement into a functional and comfortable living space.
Every job carries a lifetime transferable warranty, so it moves with the house if you sell. Inspections are free, and we will tell you when you do not need us. Call (810) 343-4789.
Efficient Basement Refinishing Specialists Highland Township, MI
Once a basement is dry, it is simply square footage you are not using. We finish basements across Highland Township: framing, flooring, paneled walls, drop ceilings and lighting.
We waterproof first, every time. Finishing over a basement that still takes water only hides the damage until it reaches your new drywall. In 25 years we have torn out enough of other people's work to be firm about that order.
FAQs About Basement Waterproofing in Highland Township, MI
These are the questions Highland Township homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, check our full FAQ page or call and ask.
WHY IS BASEMENT WATERPROOFING IMPORTANT FOR HOMES IN HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, MI?
Water in a basement does three things. It ruins what you store down there. It feeds mold in the air your family breathes upstairs. And over years it softens the soil holding up your foundation. Fixing a leak early costs far less than rebuilding a wall that has moved. A dry basement is also usable square footage, which a wet one never is.
DO YOU SERVICE AREAS OUTSIDE OF HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, MI?
Look for a musty smell, chalky white patches on the block, water stains along the joint where the wall meets the floor, standing water after a storm, or new cracks. That white powder is efflorescence, and it means water is moving through the block and leaving minerals behind.
If your sump pump runs nonstop in heavy rain, or you have had water more than once, that is a drainage problem rather than bad luck. It will not fix itself.
HOW LONG DOES A BASEMENT WATERPROOFING PROJECT TAKE IN MICHIGAN?
There are four. Interior drain tile collects water at the footing and sends it to a sump pump. Exterior waterproofing digs around the foundation and seals it from outside. Crack injection fills a leaking crack with epoxy or polyurethane. A sump pump with battery backup moves the water away from the house.
Most Highland Township basements need a combination, usually interior drain tile plus a pump that can keep up. One warning: interior sealants and paint-on coatings do not stop water that is under pressure. They hide it for a season, then it comes back through somewhere else.
WILL BASEMENT WATERPROOFING INCREASE MY HOME'S VALUE IN HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, MI?
It depends on how much wall is involved, how bad the water problem is, and which method actually fixes it. A single crack injection runs a few hundred dollars. A full perimeter drain tile system with a new pump runs into the thousands.
We will not quote a number over the phone without seeing the basement, because a guess helps nobody. The inspection is free, the estimate is written and fixed, and we offer financing. Call (810) 343-4789.
DO YOU PROVIDE WARRANTIES FOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING SERVICES IN HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, MI?
Some of it you can do yourself, and you should. Clean the gutters. Extend downspouts at least six feet from the house. Regrade soil so it slopes away rather than toward the foundation. Test the sump pump twice a year. Those steps cost almost nothing and solve a surprising number of minor damp problems. What you cannot do yourself is install drain tile, straighten a bowing wall, or seal a crack that is under hydrostatic pressure. Those need excavation, engineering, or both.
