Basement Floor Services
Every basement floor project is different — here is what we handle
New Construction Floors
Pouring basement floors for new homes and additions. Properly graded, reinforced, and sealed from the start.
Floor Replacement
Removing and replacing old, cracked, or heaving basement floors. We address the underlying issues before pouring new concrete.
Moisture & Waterproofing
Vapor barriers, drainage channels, and sealers to keep your basement dry. Critical for finished basements.
Floor Leveling & Repair
Fixing uneven sections, filling cracks, and leveling low spots in existing basement floors.
Moisture Is the #1 Basement Floor Issue
Michigan's high water table means moisture management is not optional for basement floors — it is essential. Without a proper vapor barrier and drainage plan, moisture wicks up through the concrete, causing mold, musty odors, damaged flooring, and structural issues over time.
We address moisture at the source: vapor barriers under the slab, proper grading for drainage, and sealers on top. If your existing basement floor has moisture problems, we diagnose the cause before recommending a solution — because pouring new concrete over a moisture problem just hides it temporarily.
Our Basement Floor Process
Built from the sub-grade up for a dry, level, lasting floor
Assessment & Diagnosis
We inspect the existing floor (or sub-grade for new construction), check for moisture issues, evaluate drainage, and determine the right approach. You get a firm quote with no surprises.
Demolition (If Replacing)
Old concrete is removed and hauled away. We inspect the sub-grade underneath for drainage issues, soft spots, or plumbing that needs attention.
Sub-Grade & Vapor Barrier
Gravel base is installed and compacted. A heavy-duty vapor barrier goes down to block moisture migration. Drainage channels are added if needed.
Reinforcement & Pour
Wire mesh or rebar is placed based on the floor's requirements. Concrete is poured, leveled, and finished to your chosen specification.
Finish, Seal & Cure
The floor is finished (smooth, broom, or decorative), sealed for moisture protection, and given proper cure time before use.
Basement Floor Finish Options
Smooth / Trowel Finish
The standard basement floor finish. Smooth, level, and ready for carpet, tile, vinyl, or engineered hardwood installation.

Basement Floor FAQ
How thick should a basement floor be?
Standard basement floors are 4 inches thick. This is sufficient for residential use including finished living spaces, storage, and workshops.
Do I need a vapor barrier?
Yes — in virtually every case. Michigan's soil moisture levels make a vapor barrier essential for preventing moisture migration through the slab. This is especially critical if you plan to install flooring on top of the concrete.
Can you replace just part of a basement floor?
Yes. If only a section is damaged, we can cut out and replace that section. However, if the damage is widespread or caused by underlying drainage issues, a full replacement may be more cost-effective.
How long does a basement floor take?
Most residential basement floors are poured in 1-2 days. Allow 7 days before light use and 28 days for full cure before installing flooring.
Can you work around existing plumbing?
Yes. We form and pour around floor drains, cleanouts, sump pits, and other plumbing fixtures.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Up to 12 months same-as-cash and longer-term plans.
