Especially in Michigan, where many basements are finished and are used as living spaces, the costs can quickly add up when problem areas are not addressed.

Here are a few reasons why we suggest scheduling an inspection on your basement, at least once a year:

• Ensuring that batteries on backup systems are in working order

Here are a just a few areas we address during our basement inspection process: 

• Pump Checks – Ejector pump, sump pumps, etc.
• Battery Checks – High water alarms, backup battery systems, etc.
• Yard checks – Drainage issues, downspout issues and extensions
• Window Well Checks – Cleaning any debris, damage, or excess accumulation in this area
• Cleaning of Sump Pump – Debris can accumulate over time and build up, resulting in sump pump that isn’t working at its’ full potential
• Water Testing – By flushing out water that could potentially come into your basement, we can evaluate if the discharge lines are damaged or dirty
• Foundation Testing – Any cracks, seepage, or damage will be seen and evaluated during this time
