Basement Waterproofing in Birmingham, MI
Birmingham basement waterproofing — older brick foundations, finished basements, and a high water table downtown. We've worked the entire 48009 and 48025 zip codes since 1992.
Birmingham's older neighborhoods — Quarton Lake, Poppleton Park, and the streets east of Old Woodward — were built between the 1920s and 1950s on what used to be wetlands. The water table is closer to the surface than most homeowners realize, and the original brick-and-block foundations weren't engineered for modern drainage standards.
We typically install interior perimeter drainage tied to a Zoeller-grade sump with battery backup, plus rod-hole sealing on the brick joints. Most Birmingham homes also benefit from a finished-basement-friendly install — we cap the channel with a paintable concrete edge so the basement stays usable as living space.
Birmingham finished basements are a major investment, and the warranty has to outlive the install. Ours does — lifetime transferable, signed on a single page in plain English.

What Detroit homeowners
actually say.
“They told me I didn't need a full system — just two crack injections. Saved me about $14,000. Three years later, still bone dry.”
“Crew showed up on time, laid down protection on every floor, finished in two days. Wrote me a written warranty I could read without a lawyer.”
“Three other contractors quoted excavation. Quali-Dry did interior drainage for a third of the price. Basement's been dry through two springs.”
