Before you hire in Brighton
Mid-century and newer systems
Most homes here date from 1986 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.
Michigan basements
Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.
Permits: check with the Brighton building department before work starts.

Basement Waterproofing in Brighton: 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.

It depends on the scope. Ask the Brighton building department, and expect a licensed contractor to pull any permit the job needs.
