What do we see in Pontiac homes?
Typical houses are older two-story homes with basements, many rentals. Water near the Clinton River, wet clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles are the usual causes.
A buried river
The Clinton River runs under downtown Pontiac.
Older housing
Pontiac has a lot of older housing. Typical problems include cracked clay sewer laterals, failing galvanized pipes, and basements with block walls that seep.
Vacant and rental homes
Empty houses freeze. If you own a rental or vacant property in Pontiac, drain the lines or keep the heat on and check it weekly through winter.
A mill river
The Clinton River powered Pontiac’s early growth.
Where the soil changes
Upstream of Pontiac the river runs through well-drained sand and gravel. From Pontiac east toward Rochester, the DNR describes moderately to well drained loamy and clay soils. Clay holds water against foundations, so basement seepage after a wet spring is more common here than in the lake country to the west.
What happens when we get there?
We take photos and moisture readings, pull the water out and set up drying. We handle your project from start to finish.
What about the paperwork?
