Pre-war construction
17% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Basement Waterproofing in Almont: FAQ
Exterior waterproofing stops water at the wall but requires digging around the house. Interior drain tile manages water that gets in and is less disruptive; many Metro Detroit homes are good candidates for either, depending on access and wall condition.
Get two or three quotes on the same scope, check each Maintenance and Alteration or Residential Builder license on the LARA lookup, and ask each company to show where water is entering before it sells a system.
Snowmelt and spring rain saturate clay soil and raise groundwater around the foundation. Check gutters, downspouts and grading first, since fixing surface water is often part of the solution.
