Many Livonia homes have basements built decades ago that are ready for repairs or updates, and even newer homes often have an unfinished basement or a crawl space that needs attention. Either way, the work should start with a space that’s dry and structurally sound. Basements Plus takes care of waterproofing, foundation, and crawl space issues first, then helps you finish the basement into space your family will actually use.
Basement leaks, moisture, & wasted space can create more than one problem for Livonia homeowners, & fixing them often means calling multiple contractors. With Basements Plus, one local, family-operated team can waterproof the basement, improve the space, & help you create a dry, comfortable finished basement built to last.
When we started Basements Plus in 2003, we asked a simple question: “How would we want to be treated in our own home?” That question still guides how we explain the work, communicate throughout the project, and stand behind what we do.

One company handles both, so if your basement needs waterproofing before finishing, you know who is responsible from start to finish.
We set clear expectations, keep you informed, and follow through on the details. That’s how we reduce stress and earn raving fans.
We believe contractors should stand behind their work. Qualifying systems carry a transferable lifetime warranty, while finishing includes a limited lifetime workmanship warranty for the original homeowner.
With Livonia’s established neighborhoods, older homes, and seasonal moisture concerns, the space below your home deserves just as much attention as the space above it. Waterproofing first and finishing your basement the right way and up to code helps protect your home, create more usable living space, and make the most of the square footage you paid for.
Much of Livonia’s housing was built during the city’s major growth from the 1950s through the 1980s. As these homes age, basement moisture, outdated finishes, and older drainage systems can become part of the remodeling conversation, making it important to understand the condition of the space before finishing it.
Livonia is part of the Rouge River watershed, with more than 40 miles of the river running through the city. Heavy rain, snowmelt, and stormwater runoff can all contribute to water concerns, so keeping the basement dry should come before investing in finished walls, flooring, or cabinetry.
Livonia is known for established, single-family neighborhoods where many homeowners are improving the homes they already have. A dry, finished basement can turn underused square footage into a family room, home office, gym, guest space, or entertainment area without changing the footprint of the home.
