Wet walls, cracks and sloping floors have different causes. Know where water enters or how the wall has moved before comparing quotes, and consider an independent structural engineer for large repairs.
Basement waterproofing is a licensed Maintenance and Alteration trade, and structural repair falls under a Residential Builder license. Structural work usually needs a building permit.
How we check credentials →Method, quantities, engineering, permit responsibility and warranty terms, including whether the warranty transfers to a buyer, matter as much as the estimate.
Use this page to request quotes from foundation and waterproofing pros, then compare them on the same scope. Start with the problem you see, such as a wet basement, bowing walls or settling, and check each company's status using the dated checks described in How We Vet.
Note when water appears, where cracks are, and whether they are growing. Photos and measurements help pros quote the same job. For large structural repairs, an independent evaluation by a licensed structural engineer gives you a scope you can bid out. Start with a foundation inspection if you are unsure.
Michigan LARA licenses Basement Waterproofing, Concrete and Excavation as Maintenance and Alteration Contractor trades, and a Residential Builder license covers structural repair. Work above a threshold set by state law must use a licensed contractor. Ordinary repairs skip a permit only when they do not alter structural parts, so most foundation repairs need a building permit. Any digging requires a free MISS DIG 811 request at least 3 business days ahead.
Compare the method, linear feet or number of piers and anchors, engineering, who pulls the permit, cleanup and restoration, and the written warranty. Ask whether the warranty transfers when you sell, and check each license on the LARA lookup.
Pros serve Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, St. Clair, Livingston and Lapeer counties. Permits come from the legal municipality, which may differ from your mailing city; in Detroit that is BSEED. Clay soils, older block walls and freeze-thaw make wall movement and seepage common here, and downspout and sump discharge rules vary by city.
