Atlantic Coast is waterproofing Michigan basements one home at a time. Each job that we do receives the proper inspection, diagnosis and quality workmanship that the customer deserves. Our waterproofing solutions are permanent and are not designed to try and stop water but are engineered so we can carry the water away. The key to this fact is that you need to be able to move the water away faster then it is received.

Owner of Atlantic Coast Waterproofing, Inc. From quoting to design and installation, you will be actively involved in the process and be able to speak with us every step of the way.

We are committed to our customers and are always continuing with updates to our web site. Please check back with us for updated information periodically so that we may provide you the latest and greatest information about our company and waterproofing. Gary and his team did a great job waterproofing our entire basement.
Very few builders construct their own foundations. Almost all foundations are sub-contracted to only a few contractors that build them. Therefore the myth that the more expensive the house is the better the foundation is built, is only a myth. Contrary to popular belief, both basements are built the same way.
Stories from the Industry is a section of our experiences, not only with our customers but with our day to day activities regarding Waterproofing your Home! We hope that these lessons learned on waterproofing inform you in making the best possible long term decision on your wet basement water problems.

Gary from Atlantic Coast Waterproofing and his crew did an incredible job waterproofing our basement. He kept us aware of every step, followed through on everything he said. Work was well done, timely, and they cleaned up behind them. We would not hesitate to recommend!

Atlantic Coast Waterproofing did a great job on our basement! We are out of state and the owner, Gary, kept us informed throughout the whole process. Gary was so professional and really went above and beyond. Even attempting to fix things that weren't part of the job. There were no hidden fees and the job was done in the timeframe given to us. We really appreciate this company and would recommend them to anyone dealing with basement water issues.

Atlantic Coast Waterproofing, Gary and his team, did a great job on my basement! I had originally contacted another company. I got a quote and plan but I had a hard time getting a start date. After speaking to Gary and seeing his plan I was really glad I contacted Atlantic Coast. Gary is very conscientious about his work and, after all the work I went through to get the basement ready, I wanted it done right. It was.

We bought our ranch in 1997 and had years of flooding issues in the basement after remediation and new carpets I hired Gary in 2007 with Atlantic Coast Waterproofing. It was a game changer for us. Not one leak until yesterday when I started the irrigation system and didn't put the cap on. I noticed water coming into the basement and Gary was out the next day and diagnosed and fixed the problem.

He didn't charge me and said it was covered from the work done in 2007. I give this guy 5 starts. I don't spend time reviewing businesses. I trust him 100%, and thats rare today. Thanks Gary!

Gary and his team did a great job waterproofing our entire basement. It was a big job and they did it in a very timely fashion. Gary, the owner, was on site everyday and working alongside his crew. They only take on one job at a time and were devoted to getting our project done in the time promised (actually earlier) and for the quoted amount. Atlantic Coast's warranty is by far better than any other company we researched or talked to. We have a dry basement and couldn't be happier! Thank you Gary and your entire team!

Thank you to Gary and his team for helping us finally fix our basement flooding. Gary went above and beyond and his passion for helping others truly shows. I had a complete foundation water proofing system, sump pump and new exterior storm drain installed. If you need waterproofing done, look no further! Thank you again Atlantic Coast Waterproofing, inc!

We had Gary fix our wall back in 2015 and have not had an issue since. We had some water in our basement in the same area and Gary came out the same day as our call. It was not related in any way to the work Gary performed. Even though that was the case, Gary was extremely helpful in helping us diagnose the real problem. He also did not charge us anything for the service call. Great results and phenomenal customer service.

Highly recommend Atlantic Coast! Gary was very thorough and informative right from the start. He kept us updated on progress everyday throughout the project. He and his crew are polite and professional. The job was finished on time and for the price agreed upon up front. Within a couple days of job completion we had melting snow and rain but we have a dry basement for the first time in years!

After consulting many of the other big name waterproofers in metro Detroit, my wife and I decided to hire Atlantic to install their drainage system in our basement. We're glad we did. We opted for a full perimeter internal system with two sump pumps, which had flooded despite having the Waterguard system sold by a competitor that proved faulty after 10 years. Gary is the owner and provides an estimate of every job himself.

He also is part of the crew, every day, so you know you are getting the best work done. Every work day, Gary would go over the work that was done that day and what was the next step in the installation process. He was considerate, professional, and knowledgeable. Having your basement flood is not a fun situation, but this crew was able to relieve a lot of the stress of major home problem.

I had water coming into my basement from my Egress window. I received several estimates from other companies. But Atlantic Coast won the job, first impression is everything, when I called I spoke to his wife, who was so polite and understanding. Gary came out and took his time explaining everything thoroughly, he showed me pictures of previous jobs that he had completed with issues like mine.

His professionalism and kindness of him/staff was remarkable. He and his staff showed up every morning on time and completed the job in the timeframe that he stated. I highly recommend Atlantic Coast Basement Waterproofing INC.

We bought our house in the summer of 2017. When the snow thawed in the spring if 2018, we found our basement underwater. Once it dried out we took down the wood paneling from the walls and found years and years of water damage. (Which, kindly, wasn't disclosed by the sellers) Like any homeowner, we got multiple quotes. Several companies offered a discount if we didn't have permits pulled and said how they could get the job done MUCH faster if that were the case. RED FLAG! Gary came out and explained how everything worked when our house was built in the 60's and how the drainage can break down over time.

He went over every step of the procedure and explained why it would take about 2 weeks with inspections while the other guys were promising 2-3 days at most. Do you want the job done fast or do you want it done right?!? While Atlantic Coast Waterproofing is not the cheapest, they are the best, and time after time Gary has stood by his word and work.

Here we are in the Fall of 2021. We live in Howell, but if you live in any of the surrounding areas, you know that this has been the wettest summer ever. A couple months ago our basement flooded, absolutely no fault of the fantastic waterproofing job. It was due to the over 24 hour power outage and the amount of rain that came down. Well, this morning our sump pump stopped working, but because of the high quality pump that was used and 5 year warranty, Gary was out here within 1.5 hours of our call with a new sump pump in hand.

My advice to you, is to get the battery backup when he explains it! If I had to do it all over again I would choose Atlantic Coast Waterproofing. Every. Single. Time. Please enjoy this picture of the water pouring out of my walls and the standing water in the trench during the waterproofing process in 2018.

Gary and his crew just completed repairing our basement water issues and we feel so much better after contracting with Atlantic Coast. Professional, on time, great explanation of what needed to be done and why. We feel confident the next time there's a big rainfall we will not have any leakage. Thanks, Gary and your crew!

We had Gary and Atlantic Coast Waterproofing install our basement waterproofing/drain system in 2013 and we have been completely satisfied ever since. Recently after a strong storm and multi day power outage, we called Gary with a couple of concerns that we had in our basement. Gary came out inspected the system, flashed it, provided the necessary maintenance and made all the required repairs.

Although the repairs were not related to the initial drain installation Gary did not charge us a penny! We have dealt with professional contractors before but Gary stands out for going above and beyond regardless of what questions we may have. He has done an excellent job and we highly recommend him and his crew to anyone needing this kind of service. Thank you!

I would very highly recommend this company! Very thorough explanation of everything that needs to be done, very friendly, polite and honest. The owner came to my home and could not have explained things any better. Basement repair is not a cheap expense and you definitely want to hire a good company and I believe this one is great! Someone could easily steer a homeowner in the wrong direction to make more money off of you, he treated me like he was repairing his own basement giving great advice!

My house was built below the water table, so for 8 years I've been underwater. I finally had the money to get it waterproofed this summer. I interviewed several companies and Atlantic Coast Waterproofing gave by far the most detailed and thorough estimate. They took care of everything including cleaning out the basement for me and deep cleaning and sanitizing the basement when they were done. I found this company to be thorough, professional, reliable, and respectful of my house and property. I would highly recommend Atlantic Coast Waterproofing.

Gary just finished a basement waterproof system for my sister Bonnie Weir. I have dealt with contractors before but never one as nice and co-operative as Gary was. No scare tactics or pressure. He not only was very friendly, but took the time to explain things as he went along. The final inspection of the job was excellent and would recommend him and his crew to anyone needing this service. Thanks

We had Atlantic Coast Waterproofing install our basement waterproofing/drain system in 2013 and we have been completely satisfied with the results ever since. From the initial consultation meeting all the way through project completion, Gary and his team were very knowledgeable and professional. We had a few local companies provide us with cheaper quotes, but I'm so glad we chose Atlantic Coast.

Outside of standard maintenance, we haven't had to think about our basement waterproofing system once or had an issue with water in the basement since it was installed. You get what you pay for in this industry. Our neighbors decided to use a cheaper company for a similar project and, as a result, they still have ongoing water issues and plumbers visiting their house on a regular basis patching things up again and again. We sleep well with our Atlantic Coast system and encourage everyone to call Gary if you want the job done right the first time.

Working with Gary and his team was a great experience. It started with a very detailed discussion with Gary himself as to what the situation was with our basement; this was the consultation. What was very helpful were the pictures he showed us of what he would be doing in our basement so we had an expectation of the final outcome. The scheduling was easy, the crew showed up on time everyday and were very respectful of our home while there.

Along the way, Gary showed us his findings, which validated concerns he voiced at the consultation, which gave further example to his expertise and knowledge on waterproofing in general as well as the age of our home and the symptoms he expected. I would highly recommend Gary and his team at Atlantic Coast.
