In Commerce Township, we stopped a basement leak where the brick meets the foundation by excavating the upper foundation and resealing the brick ledge from outside.
Location: Commerce Township, MI
Service: Exterior foundation leak repair at the brick ledge
Date: October 2026
The problem
Water was getting into this home’s basement right where the brick meets the foundation. That’s a common spot for leaks: when the seal at the brick ledge fails, water runs straight into the wall and down into the basement.
What we did
We excavated the upper foundation, cleaned the joint at the brick ledge and sealed it so the water stays outside.
The result
The leak stopped, and water now stays outside the wall.
