 Why Do I Need Maintenance?

Debris and other contaminants can enter your system and carry the potential for system failure by affecting the operation of your sump pump and drainage pipe. Millions of homes around our state have a chemical combination that causes iron bacteria. This is an extremely invasive compound that can plug pipes and pumps of any size and cause major system failure. Avoid these issues by making an appointment with our service team.

My husband and I were impressed with our experience with Basement Waterproofing of Michigan! From start to finish, the entire process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and excellent communication.

We had a new basement waterproofing system installed, including trenching and a new sump pump, and we couldn’t be happier with the work and final result!

A special shoutout to Adam, Dennis, Raymond, and Jerome, who made up our installation crew. All four gentlemen did an outstanding job! They were hardworking, professional, efficient, and kept us informed throughout the installation process.

We also had a wonderful experience with Will, our salesman, who was fantastic to work with from the beginning.

It’s refreshing to work with a company that delivers such great service from the initial consultation all the way through installation.

We highly recommend Basement Waterproofing of Michigan!

Frequently Asked Questions

Regular maintenance ensures your sump pump and drainage lines operate smoothly when severe Michigan storms hit. Over time, silt, sediment, and debris enter drainage basins and discharge pipes, creating mechanical friction or severe clogs. Regular tune-ups clear these obstructions, extend the operating life of your pumping equipment, and protect against sudden motor burnout and costly basement flooding.

Iron bacteria is an invasive orange, gelatinous sludge formed by a chemical and biological reaction common in Michigan soils and groundwater. It coats pump impellers, clogs float switches, and plugs interior drainage pipes of any size. If left unserved, iron bacteria restrict water flow, lock up the pump mechanism, and causes major system failure during heavy rains.

Yes. While Basement Waterproofing of Michigan specifically services drainage systems installed by BWM, their service technicians are trained to inspect, test, and maintain all sump pump make and models throughout Metro Detroit, regardless of who originally installed the pump.

It is strongly recommended to schedule professional system maintenance annually. An annual inspection ensures the primary pump motor, mechanical float switches, check valves, and backup battery supplies are fully functional ahead of Michigan’s wet spring thaws and summer downpours.

You can book an appointment with the BWM service team by calling (248) 771-0885 or submitting a maintenance request online at fixmybasement.com. A qualified technician will inspect your pump, test the discharge lines, check for debris or iron bacteria, and ensure your system is fully prepared to handle high water volume.
