Sterling Heights
Sterling Heights basement waterproofing questions often come down to Clinton River and clay till. Typical work here includes sump pumps, interior drainage, crack injection and backflow prevention.
Ground and groundwater in Sterling Heights
Sterling Heights sits on flat glacial clay with poured and block basements.
The Clinton River and the Red Run Drain carry storm water; the 2014 storm caused widespread basement flooding in Macomb County.
Climate, freeze–thaw and flood history
Freeze–thaw winters and summer storms are typical.
Water that reaches a foundation wall finds cracks, cold joints and the joint between wall and floor first, so the right fix depends on where the water is coming in and how high the groundwater rises.
Local authorities and codes
City of Sterling Heights building department issues permits.
Michigan applies the Michigan Residential Code statewide, enforced by local building departments or the state Bureau of Construction Codes.
