Residential Services

From excavating a new basement to waterproofing an existing one — we handle the concrete and foundation work that keeps Michigan homes standing strong for generations.

Foundation Excavation

Full basement, crawl space, and slab excavation for new custom homes and additions. We grade, backfill, and prepare the site for your foundation contractor or handle the complete package.

New Construction
Poured Concrete Foundations

Poured-in-place concrete walls, footings, and floor slabs for new homes and additions. We form, pour, and strip to spec — plumb walls, level floors, every time.

Foundations
Waterproofing Systems

Exterior waterproofing membranes, drain tile, dimple mat, and sump systems installed during construction or as a repair/retrofit on existing foundations.

Waterproofing
Basement Lowering & Underpinning

Lower an existing basement floor to gain ceiling height without disturbing the structure above. We underpin walls and pour a new slab — transforming unusable crawl spaces into livable basements.

Specialty
Driveways & Flatwork

Concrete driveways, garage floors, patios, walkways, and steps. Properly sub-graded, reinforced, and finished to last Michigan winters without heaving or cracking.

Flatwork
Structural Renovations

Foundation crack repair, wall replacement, beam and post upgrades, and structural modifications for older Michigan homes needing updated structural systems.

Renovation

Built for Every Home Type

From spec home builders to multi-family developers to individual homeowners making their biggest investment — we bring the same care and quality to every residential project.

Custom & Luxury Homes

Deep basements, engineered footings, and custom flatwork for high-end custom builders and owner-clients who want it built right.

Spec Home Builders

Reliable, volume-capable foundation and excavation work for production builders and developers running multiple lots at once.

Additions & Expansions

New foundation sections, attached garage slabs, and structural concrete for home additions that need to match the existing structure.

Older Home Repair

Bowed walls, cracked foundations, failing footings, and wet basements in Michigan's older housing stock — we fix the root cause.

Basement Excavation & Waterproofing

A properly waterproofed basement starts from the outside in — not with an interior drain tile patch. We excavate, waterproof, and backfill the right way so you don't have to do it twice.

  • Full perimeter excavation down to the footing
  • Foundation cleaning and crack repair before waterproofing
  • Rubberized membrane or spray-applied waterproofing
  • Drainage mat and perforated drain tile at the footing
  • Clean-stone backfill with proper soil layering
  • Window well installation and site grading for drainage
Signs You May Need Foundation Work

Cracks in foundation walls
Horizontal cracks especially signal structural movement

Bowing or inward-leaning walls
Lateral soil pressure — needs immediate structural attention
⚠️
Sticking doors or uneven floors
May indicate foundation settlement or movement
