Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Troy, MI
Troy Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling Experts
Locally Based in Macomb County — Serving Troy Homeowners Since 2003
Troy didn’t exist as a city until 1955, but the neighborhoods that define it today were already being built before the ink dried on the incorporation papers. The postwar boom pushed families north out of Detroit into what had been Avon Township farmland, and the 1950s and 1960s brought block after block of brick ranches and capes on concrete block foundations. Those older neighborhoods — concentrated in Troy’s western and southern sections near Livernois, John R, and the Crooks Road corridor — sit on Oakland County clay that has spent decades pushing against aging block walls. The homes that came after, built through the 1970s and 1980s as Troy grew into one of Michigan’s largest and most affluent cities, shifted to poured concrete foundations — stronger structurally, but prone to the shrinkage cracks that develop in the first decade and widen under constant soil pressure. Troy’s rolling Oakland County terrain means water drains in unpredictable directions depending on your lot, and the city’s established tree canopy means root systems that disrupt perimeter drainage over time. At Suburban Basement Waterproofing, we’ve worked in Troy and the surrounding Oakland County communities since 2003. We know these homes and we handle them honestly — no scare tactics, no unnecessary upsells, just the repair your home actually needs, and most of our work is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.

Basement, Foundation & Concrete Leveling Services We Offer in Troy
Whether your basement has a small crack or a wall that’s shifted from years of soil pressure, we have the solution. If your home needs it, we’ve seen it and fixed it.
Basement Crack Repair
The most common basement repair in Troy. We inject polyurethane or epoxy directly into foundation cracks, sealing them permanently from the inside — no digging required. Backed by a lifetime warranty.
Exterior Foundation Waterproofing
For persistent water intrusion, we excavate and waterproof the outside of your foundation wall, stopping water before it ever reaches your basement.
The most complete solution available.
Interior Basement Drain Tile Systems
When water enters from multiple points, an interior drain tile system collects and redirects it before it can damage your home. Paired with a sump pump, it’s the industry gold standard for wet basements.
Foundation Wall Bracing & Reinforcement
Bowing or buckling walls are a sign of serious soil pressure.
We install carbon fiber wall straps and steel I-beam braces to stabilize walls and prevent further movement.
Carbon Fiber Staples
For horizontal cracks that need more than injection, carbon fiber stitching staples bridge the crack and prevent widening — a permanent, low-profile repair.
Concrete Leveling & Void Filling
Sunken driveways, sidewalks, patios, or garage floors? We use polyurethane foam injection to lift and level concrete without the mess or cost of full replacement.
Chimney Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Chimney foundations are often overlooked until they start leaking. We address the issue at the foundation level — not just the chimney cap — for a real, lasting fix.
Custom Foundation Repairs & Waterproofing
Every home is different. We’ve handled complex foundation repairs, unusual soil conditions, commercial foundations, and everything in between across Macomb County.
Why Troy Homeowners Choose Suburban Basement Over the Big Chains
There’s no shortage of basement waterproofing companies competing for your business in Troy. But there’s a meaningful difference between a national franchise sending out a sales representative whose foundation knowledge comes from a training manual, and an independently owned company where the owner personally conducts your assessment — someone who has spent over 20 years diagnosing and repairing foundations right here in Macomb County.
We’re Local.
Our office is in Utica — 10 minutes from Troy. We know Oakland County soil, weather, and the challenges homes here face.
We Don’t Upsell.
Our estimates are built around what your home actually needs. If a crack injection will resolve the problem, that’s what we recommend.
We Back Our Work.
Lifetime transferable warranty on our repairs — covered as long as you own the home, and it transfers to the new owner when you sell.
Licensed, Insured & Experienced.
Over 20 years in business. Fully licensed and insured in Michigan. Thousands of repairs completed across Southeastern Michigan.
Frequently Asked Questions — Basement Waterproofing in Troy, MI
The cost depends on the scope and severity of the repair. Unlike many companies, our quotes aren’t built around a sales script — they’re based on your home’s individual needs. We assess the problem first, then give you an honest recommendation and a straightforward estimate at no charge.
Troy’s basement water problems vary by age of construction. The older neighborhoods from the 1950s and 1960s — the brick ranches and colonials that built out Troy’s western and southern corridors — were built on concrete block foundations. Block is inherently porous, and as mortar joints age and blocks shift under Oakland County’s heavy clay soil, water seeps through. The newer homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s use poured concrete, which is stronger but develops shrinkage cracks as the concrete cures. Those cracks widen over time under the weight of saturated clay soil bearing against the wall. In both cases, Troy’s varied terrain means drainage patterns differ lot to lot — some areas shed water quickly, others channel it toward foundations. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles stress every foundation wall regardless of construction type, and Troy’s established neighborhoods have decades of that stress accumulated in every wall.
When done correctly, basement waterproofing can last the lifetime of your home. At Suburban Basement, we back our waterproofing work with a lifetime transferable warranty. Proper crack injections and drainage systems, installed correctly, don’t need to be redone.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover basement waterproofing or gradual water intrusion. Some policies cover sudden water damage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. We do offer financing options to help make repairs affordable.
Permitting requirements vary depending on the nature and scope of the repair. We assess each project individually and manage all required permitting on your behalf, so you don’t have to navigate that process alone.
Signs include horizontal cracks in your basement wall (especially in the middle third), a wall that visibly leans inward, or doors and windows that stick. If you notice any of these in your Troy home, contact us for a free assessment immediately — bowing walls worsen over time and become more expensive to repair.
Yes. We’ve been serving all of Troy and the surrounding Oakland County communities since 2003, including Birmingham, Rochester Hills, Clawson, Beverly Hills, Royal Oak, Southfield, and throughout Southeastern Michigan.

An oustanding experience!
Quality workmanship, professional, polite, personable and more.
Alex assessed the issues and presented an appropriate first course of action to resolve the problem instead of immediately suggesting a high dollar invasive fix. He was extremely knowledgeable and easily explained things to me. I will certainly reach out to Suburban Basement in the future for a few other non-basement cement related projects I plan to address in the spring!
Yes, the do more than just fix basement leaks!

Had an excellent first time appointment with Suburban Basement Waterproofing today.
I had an issue on my basement wall & wasn't sure if it was a leak.
With new carpeting coming next week, I was worried about the entire situation.
They called me on Wednesday & were here today to check it.
Alex was very professional & able to fix ihe issue today & I'm free of worry about anything.
I will contact them in the future for any new issues that may appear.
I highly recommend them!

I was experiencing a major water leak in my basement whenever there was any major rainfall. After sending pictures of the area, Alex reached out via email and noted some recommended fixes.
He personally inspected the area soon after and noted that he was confident that my back door was the issue.
He suggested replacing the door and making sure that everything was properly caulked/sealed. I was finally able to rip out the existing door last weekend and he was spot on with his assessment.

I had leaking rod holes.
I had around 40 that were an issue now but since this was the third time since 2010 that I had some rod holes break through, I wanted to have the whole basement completed. There were 179 holes to finish minus the walls of the attached garage. The job was completed over two visits and was done with excellent quality and professionalism. There is a lifetime guarantee which is transferable. Rates are very reasonable.
I highly recommend this company and will use them again for other services!
