Why Detroit Foundations Fail
Metropolitan Detroit’s geology creates a perfect storm for foundation problems. The region sits on thick deposits of clay and glacial till left by ancient Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. This clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, exerting lateral pressure on basement walls every season. Combined with Michigan’s 100+ freeze-thaw cycles per year and the age of Detroit’s housing stock — much of it built between 1920 and 1960 — foundation failure is common across Downriver communities, Dearborn, Warren, and inner-ring suburbs.
