Lansing, MI – Not many locals are wishing for more snow, and after this storm system passes, most locals may be in need of some foundation or basement repairs– as meteorologists are predicting a 100% chance of precipitation Saturday and Sunday.
Severe weather has been pounding Michigan since Thursday night, dropping freezing rain overnight into today. Unfortunately the icy conditions may prove to have caused the death of one motorist, although the investigation is still underway.
However, the weather is only expected to worsen as the heaviest rain is expected to fall this evening into Saturday morning, and with 3-5 inches of snow still on the ground, this could lead to some serious repercussions.
Basements across Michigan may be experiencing some serious problems, as rain tends to melt snow quickly causing a buildup of water in some basements. As flood warnings are being posted across the state, experts recommend that homeowners have their basements evaluated to protect against future water damage. Foundation repair is another option to prevent buckling and bowing walls from the influx of hydrostatic pressure and heavy rains.
Ayers Basement Systems is a local home improvement contractor that has fixed many wet and leaky basements/foundations over the past 28 years. They offer crawl space repair, basement waterproofing and foundation repair in Michigan including Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids areas, as well as all surrounding locations.
