Ponchaud Contracting & Excavating | Roofing Services in Crystal Falls, MI 49920

Proper excavation is the first line of defense for your home. In our area, poor drainage can lead to water pooling around your foundation, increasing hydrostatic pressure and moisture infiltration into crawl spaces or basements. This excess moisture can then migrate upwards, contributing to issues like roof valley leaks. Our excavation and grading services ensure water flows away from your home, protecting the entire structure from the ground level to the roof.

For Crystal Falls homes dealing with persistent roof leaks, the problem often starts at the downspouts. We dig precise trenches to install underground drain tile or French drain systems. This carries roof runoff far away from your foundation, preventing soil erosion and water from seeping back towards the house. By managing water at the source, we alleviate the stress on your roof's flashing and valleys, which are common failure points in our climate.

We treat the entire water management system. First, we assess the site's drainage to ensure the root cause isn't ground water. Then, for the roof repair, we remove the compromised flashing, inspect the underlying deck for rot from trapped moisture, and install new, high-quality flashing sealed with ice and water shield—a must for our Michigan winters. Our general contracting expertise means we coordinate all phases, from any necessary excavation prep to the final roofing details, for a lasting fix.
