Michigan’s Only Repair & Replace Platinum Guarantee
With other contractors, waterproofing and finishing means hiring two different companies. Basements Plus does both, which makes our Platinum Guarantee possible. You have one company responsible for the covered water repair and for rebuilding the finished areas removed to reach it, with no finger-pointing between contractors.
On qualifying projects, if water ever returns through the floor-wall joint or through the wall, here's what happens:
-
We Remove the flooring, walls, or portions of a bathroom, bar, or other finished materials needed to access the repair.
- We Repair the covered water intrusion.
-
We Restore and rebuild the finished areas removed to gain access.
