Waterford Township is about 13 miles north of our base in Farmington Hills. We do sump pump, crawl space, drainage and foundation work there, starting with a free inspection.
Lake lots and high water tables
Waterford has a lot of lakes and a lot of homes on or near them. Close to a lake, the water table can sit near the surface, especially in spring, so groundwater comes up from below the basement floor rather than only through the walls. In that case a sump system that collects water under the floor and pumps it away is usually part of the answer.
Soils vary more across the township than in the flat clay areas to the south. Sandier ground drains faster, but a high water table can still put water under a floor.
Older lake houses and crawl spaces
Some older lake houses started as cottages and were expanded over the years, often onto crawl spaces or shallow foundations. Damp air and ground moisture in those crawl spaces rot sill plates and joists over time. We repair the wood first, deal with the water, and then seal the crawl space.

Questions from Waterford homeowners
Do you work in Waterford, and how far is it from your base?
Yes. Swift Dry works in Waterford, which is in Oakland County and about 13 miles from our base in Farmington Hills. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written quote. The distance is approximate and is not a promise of arrival time.
I live on a lake lot. Is groundwater a problem for my basement or crawl space?
Lake lots often have a high water table, and older lake houses on crawl spaces can stay damp. We find where the water comes from and move it, with a sump pump, drainage or crawl space work as the inspection shows.
