Trusted Solutions for Southeast Michigan Homes

We serve not just Royal Oak, but also surrounding communities throughout Southeast Michigan, including smaller areas like Ferndale, Oak Park, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, Berkley, Clawson, and Southfield. No matter where you live in the region, we’re here with long-term, professional solutions.

Royal Oak is surrounded by many tight-knit Southeast Michigan communities that face an array of foundation and moisture issues. In Ferndale and Oak Park, post-war homes often lack proper drainage or have aging basements prone to seepage. Clawson’s cozy neighborhoods experience similar problems, especially after spring thaws or heavy summer storms. Southfield’s larger lots and varied terrain can bring unique challenges with surface water and runoff. Smaller neighborhoods like Green Acres, Sherwood Forest, and the Woodland Park area also contend with basement moisture and settling foundations.

Wherever you are in Royal Oak or Southeast Michigan and whatever issues you’re facing, we’re ready to help. With a full array of services to solve issues with wet basements, musty crawlspaces, and shifting foundations, we can help protect your home in any situation.

Foundation Repair Services

With Royal Oak’s mix of older homes and newer construction, different properties face different challenges. That’s why we tailor every service to your specific property and concerns. Our team has experience with a wide range of foundational and structural issues common throughout Southeast Michigan, including:

  • Wall Straightening and Stabilization: If your walls are bowing, bulging, shearing, or otherwise showing signs of instability, it’s important to straighten and stabilize the walls as soon as possible. We use the strongest and most effective technology available to stabilize your walls long-term.
  • Steel Brace Reinforcement: If your basement walls or foundation are showing signs of serious shifting, we use our StayWall™ technique. This method attaches steel I-beams between the floor joists and the concrete floor to provide maximum stability.
  • Wall Rebuilds: If the walls are cracked, crumbling, or otherwise in serious disrepair, we can still save the building. With total or partial wall rebuilds, we can make it like-new again.

Basement Waterproofing Solutions 

With close proximity to water features like the Red Run Drain, the Rouge River watershed, and several smaller creeks that snake through Southeast Michigan, it’s easy to see why water control and foundation integrity are essential for homeowners in Royal Oak and Southeast Michigan. With many older homes lacking drainage systems, and many other homes surrounded by fluctuating weather and a high water table, basement flooding and water intrusion can quickly become a big problem. We provide a comprehensive array of basement waterproofing solutions to keep your basement dry.

  • Interior and exterior waterproofing: We provide both interior and exterior waterproofing to protect your home in the best way possible. Depending on the grade around the home, the type and level of moisture issue, and your goals, we can determine the best solution for your home.
  • French drain systems: French drain systems are one of the most effective ways to stop moisture issues in your basement. These systems are time-tested and shown to be effective in a variety of situations. We use the best French drain systems to ensure long-term performance and the best results.
  • Sump pump installation and backups: A working sump pump is the best way to move water away from your home. We install and repair sump pumps of all types, making sure they are right-sized and working properly. We also install battery backup sump pumps to make sure your system continues to perform in the event of a power outage.
