Common Causes of Basement Water in Burton, MI

There are many different causes for the presence of water in your basement. Weather is one of the common issues. The soil your home sits on is another big contributor that can affect your basement and foundation. Different parts of Michigan have different soil types, and knowing which one you have can help you understand how it affects both your foundation and your home’s drainage:

  • Upper Peninsula & Northern Lower Peninsula: The UP area towns like Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Petoskey, Marquette, Escanaba, and Cheboygan, see mostly sandy and loamy soils, which drain better than other soils, but can shift over time and may cause settling issues.
  • Southern Lower Peninsula: The lower peninsula, towns like Midland, Fenton, Jackson, Detroit, Lansing, and Kalamazoo, see more clay and loam soils. These more dense soils can hold water better, which puts extra pressure on basement walls and can lead to more leaks.
  • Most Locations: Many Michigan homes sit on soil with a mix of silt, sand, and clay, and these combinations can create issues with drainage and shifting soil.

Because of these soil conditions that Michigan homes are built on, basements in Burton, MI often show signs of moisture, including:

  • Damp spots on walls or floors
  • Minor leaks or water pooling
  • Cracks in the foundation walls
  • Mold or mildew growth

Water can also enter your basement in the following ways:

  • Over the top of the wall
  • Floor drains
  • Tie rods
  • Cracks or damage in the basement wall
  • Cracks in the basement floor
  • Inadequate rainwater drainage around the home
  • Window wells
  • Broken water lines

No matter what the cause, our experts at StayDry® can evaluate and find the source of the problem and provide the correct solution to keep your home and basement dry and your foundation strong.
