Protecting Pontiac Homes From the Ground Up

In Pontiac’s historic neighborhoods, like Seminole Hills and the Franklin Boulevard Historic District, many homes were built in the early 1900s, and some even date back to the 1800s. These homes have a lot of charm and history, but their foundations were not built to modern standards for moisture control, drainage, and crawlspace ventilation. As these homes age, small cracks and settling can let moisture in before a homeowner notices anything is wrong.

Pontiac sits on dense, clay-heavy soil that expands when wet and shrinks as it dries. This constant movement puts pressure on basement and crawlspace walls, which can cause cracks, bowing, and shifting. You might notice sloping floors, doors that stick, or gaps around trim. Freeze-thaw cycles make this problem worse, especially in older block foundations.

Water getting into homes is another common issue in Pontiac. Many neighborhoods have flat yards and aging drainage systems, so stormwater often pools around foundations rather than draining away. During heavy rain or snowmelt, this water can seep in, leading to damp crawlspaces, musty odors, mold, and higher humidity in the house. Some parts of Pontiac also test higher for radon, adding air quality concerns.

Cut ‘N Dry Waterproofing helps Pontiac homeowners tackle these problems at the source with solutions made for Michigan’s soil, weather, and foundation types. Our goal is simple: to keep your home dry, healthy, and comfortable from the ground up.

What Homeowners Are Saying

Every project comes with a homeowner who just wanted their home to feel right again. Here’s what they’ve shared about working with us.

It was a pleasure working with this company A to Z even had compliments from my neighbors. This company is top notch and knows how to get the job done. Brittany and Brianna were super responsive with coordinating times of completion and scheduling. Talk about the crew crew seriously Brendan Tre and Joe worked with the completion of the project and made it seem like a casual occurrence to transform my crawlspace into what seemed like a livable space at the end of the day. Very happy with the outcome and the silencer on my sump pump will help me sleep at night! Thank you very much!

We had our Radon fan replaced and an alarm installed. Jaiden and Josh worked quickly and with a friendly, professional attitude. Because we are so happy with their work, we look forward to working with the company for other projects, like our sump pump system.

I spoke to 4 different companies about a tough crawlspace issue I was having. None of them could do it. Then I came across Crawlspace Remediation. They have seen a few crawlspaces in their day and nothing scares them. Nick came to my home and assured me they could fix ALL of my issues. He was so professional and knowledgeable and provided a step by step plan of attack. Briana at the main office was always in the know about the specifics of my job and truly was a wonderful representative for the company. Jayden and Josh were the experts in the space. They worked so hard and were a joy to work with. Every person mentioned did not stop until everything was complete and to my satisfaction. I highly recommend this team!

absolutely worth every penny! Joe, Josh, Jaiden, Ryan, Austin, Tre, Brittany, and Brianna were very easy to work with on this crawl space encapsulation. From day one the professionalism, cleanliness, and knowledge far surpassed anyone else i had quote this job. I would highly recommend this company to anyone if they want it done right. 10 stars!!! Crawlspace Remediation LLC is a great company!

Frequently Asked Questions

Before we visit your home, here are answers to a few questions Pontiac homeowners ask most often:

What are some signs that my crawlspace or basement needs professional attention?

If you notice musty smells, higher humidity, visible mold, cold floors, damp insulation, or even standing water.

Can foundation settling cause problems upstairs in the living areas of my home?

Yes. When the foundation shifts due to clay soil or freeze-thaw cycles, you might see sloping floors, cracks in the drywall, or doors that stick.

Why are moisture problems common in Pontiac?

Older foundations, clay-heavy soil, lack of grading away from the home, and old drainage systems can all lead to water getting inside homes and humidity issues.

Do I need mold testing before remediation or waterproofing?

Not always. If you can already see mold, testing might not be necessary. After we inspect your home, we’ll give you honest advice.

How quickly will I notice a difference after the work is completed?

Most homeowners feel improvements in humidity and comfort within a few days.
