Serving the same community from the same building for over 30 years. Family-owned since 1993
Marshall’s historic neighborhoods sit right along the Kalamazoo River where low river-valley ground invites regular water intrusion. Homes in 49068 often struggle with runoff from rainfall and snowmelt, combined with a high local water table that pushes moisture against aging foundations. This dynamic is especially tough on older homes built before modern drainage methods. Leaks, seepage, and wall cracks are common complaints from Marshall residents living closest to the river. For lasting results, you need protection built for the area’s unique soils, river proximity, and historic home styles. Explore all the solutions available from EverDry’s basement waterproofing services.
We serve every part of Marshall, because water challenges shift dramatically block to block. River proximity, home age, and terrain all impact the waterproofing process.
Historic homes in the 49068 ZIP, particularly near the heart of downtown, deal with seepage and water-stained walls after heavy rains. Our dual interior and exterior fixes prevent both visible leaks and hidden moisture damage.
Low-lying areas near the Kalamazoo River are prone to saturation, with water often pooling around basements during spring thaws. Exterior drainage systems and full-perimeter protection stop river-driven seepage cold.
Homes east of downtown contend with rising groundwater and runoff from paved lots. We recommend targeted sump installation and interior channeling to keep water out of living areas here.
These areas, on slightly higher ground, see basement wall cracks and minor leaks after snowmelt cycles. Addressing smaller cracks and upgrading drainage is key to preventing recurring issues.
Hear from homeowners who trusted EverDry to protect their basements, foundations, and homes with long-lasting waterproofing and structural solutions.

Jim sat down and took the time to explain the full system with me and explained how it differed from other competitors. Very impressed with the system and feel confident it will solve the issue.Posted on Google Lauren BeaudwayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

David does a great job with explaining and also the reports given were perfect for a clear understanding of what we are dealing with as far as any water proofing needed and the current condition of the property.Posted on Google Jessica EdmondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim Glick came and explained everything very well. What the company covers and how their system works. He understood what I was looking for and offered me just that.Posted on Google Melanie PageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David came out and spent 90 minutes being one of the best salesmen I've ever encountered in real life. He FIRST tells you which color on the test means mold before he tests for mold. It's the bad color. He FIRST tells you which number is acceptable for wall moisture before he places the device on the wall and gets the measurement. It's a bad measurement. He tells you the things floating in the flashlight beam is also mold, though I could have sworn those were known as dust motes. He tells you how water falls into the hole that was dug to create your home and everything is moving, just like when you stand on the beach and the water washes in and you feel yourself slowly sinking. You know what it's like to stand on a beach. He tells you with their special machine, you'll never have to dust again. He tells you have a really nice house and you've taken good care of it, praising your home and efforts, but if you trust EverDry, they can make everything great, permanently, so you don't feel like you're living in a dump. He takes photos and prints them from the trunk of his Cadillac. He measures the square footage and then pulls out a pre-made sheet and tells you the total cost to do all the things: $28,000. You don't even have water in your basement; you just want to add longevity to the current foundation. You feel like nothing about the offer is tailor made to your home because there is no itemized estimate. He lets you know that if you want financing, it's about 10% to 11% interest that compounds daily. You need to put $500 down. Your house is so tempting, he says, because he feels that if he can squeeze you in between other jobs when the crew is waiting around, they'll reduce the price. However, you have to agree that you will only get 24-48 hours' notice. You tell him you work from home and can't have noise while you're working. He continues to say you only get 24-48 hours' if you want the special deal, so you feel like he doesn't care and isn't listening. You say you need time to talk to your bank about financing, and he emphasizes that financing is financing, that you'll have to pay off the loan faster through your bank and that you should sign with him today. You tell him you're going to take a week to think about it. Uninvited, he says he'll stop by in two days. Later, you get a call from EverDry asking how David was. You are evasive and say that he said everything clearly, because he did. He was very clearly a salesman who wanted to close on a $28,000 contract after a 90-minute spiel. But we're not done yet. Two weeks later, you receive communication from EverDry asking you to confirm an appointment to go over pricing options at your home. You do not confirm the appointment, as you never made an appointment. EverDry had more invited themselves to your home. So, if that's what you're looking for as a homeowner, 5/5 stars, no notes.Posted on Google Emmanuel MelecioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

More than 70 basement waterproofing jobs are finished in Marshall alone. With 1,500+ five-star Google reviews and the region’s most-installed multi-step system, EverDry is the first call for river-valley homes that want it fixed right.
Our proprietary approach combines interior drainage and exterior sealing into one solution—solving more than surface water. No other local contractor matches our dual-action protection.
You get coverage that actually transfers—when your home sells, the warranty follows with no extra cost to you or your buyer. That’s rare peace of mind for Marshall homeowners.
Every consultation uses our methodical 20-point inspection. We provide a clear written estimate and genuine advice—never any sales pressure or surprise fees.
Absolutely. The river keeps groundwater levels higher throughout the year, not just in spring. Even during drier periods, soils remain saturated close to the river, routinely increasing hydrostatic pressure on basements in the 49068 area. This can allow seepage, cracks, or puddles long after a rain. Our waterproofing methods address both flood season and quiet stretches, because river influence never really stops in Marshall.
They can be, simply because older foundations in Marshall sometimes have crumbling mortar, thinner walls, or no exterior drain tile. But with thoughtful assessment and the right products, we regularly waterproof homes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, making careful adjustments for their build style.
It helps to grade soil away from your basement walls and double-check your gutter downspouts—they should drain at least six feet out from the foundation. In river-adjacent Marshall areas, these quick actions can slow water intrusion until a full system is installed.
Yes, especially after harsh freeze-thaw cycles or wet springs. The ground near the river often swells and contracts, causing old and new walls alike to crack. If you spot horizontal or stair-step cracks, it’s time for a professional review—the sooner we stabilize, the more cost-effective repairs tend to be.
Our systems are designed to last as long as the house stands, with the warranty offering true lifetime coverage. Local installations done right don’t need to be redone, even when weather patterns shift. Most of our earliest Marshall clients still enjoy dry basements decades later.
