Who this record is for A long-running, BBB-accredited waterproofing company based in Fenton (Genesee County), which states service reaching well into metro Detroit, including Detroit, Livonia, Troy, Royal Oak, Canton, Novi, Southfield, St. Clair Shores, Dearborn, and Plymouth. Its home base sits outside the three-county core this site indexes, so confirming actual coverage of your specific area matters more here than for a locally headquartered firm. Every fact below is labeled with its source and the date we checked it.

Years in business
Since June 1, 1972VerifiedBBBThe company's own site separately attributes “42 years in the industry” to owner Gary Lustig, consistent with joining or taking over an already-operating company, not necessarily a contradiction.
Legal business name
Atlantic Coast Waterproofing, Inc.VerifiedLARA business entity search
State entity filing
Michigan Domestic Profit Corporation, active and in good standing, incorporated February 28, 2007; 60,000 common shares authorizedVerifiedLARA business entity searchA live search of Michigan's business registry (2026-07-14) for this entity name and for the Lustig surname found no earlier waterproofing predecessor, so the site's “since 1972” claim cannot be tied to an earlier state filing. Michigan does not register sole proprietorships, so an unincorporated operation before 2007, if any, would not appear in this search either way.
Owner / operator
Gary Lustig, per the company's own siteVerifyMichigan's business registry lists Denice E. Lustig as the corporation's president, secretary, treasurer, and sole director, not Gary Lustig. This is consistent with (though does not by itself confirm) the site's separate “woman-owned business” claim; the two names have not been reconciled by the company. Likely a family business with a state-filed officer distinct from the customer-facing owner name.

Interior & exterior drainage Sump pump installation & battery backup Foundation waterproofing (block, concrete, brick, stone) Mold & water damage removal Foundation restoration & structural repairs
The company states it does all work in-house with no subcontracting, and that it recycles roughly 90% of concrete hauled from job sites.
Not every basement problem is a waterproofing job. A strong sewage smell at a floor drain is usually a plumbing issue, call a licensed plumber. A bowing, cracked, or visibly shifting foundation wall is a structural issue, get a structural engineer before any water fix. A waterproofing contractor treats water intrusion, not the pipe or the wall itself.

Questions to ask this contractor

Based on the open items in this record and the risk profile of the area they serve
  1. "Do you actually service my specific ZIP code from your Fenton location?"Their home base is in Genesee County, genuinely outside the Wayne/Oakland/Macomb core. Confirm real coverage, not just a listed city name, before relying on them.
  2. "What is your Michigan license number?"We matched an Issued Maintenance & Alteration license (Basement Waterproofing classification) held by Denice Elizabeth Lustig in the state's LARA record. Ask for the number and confirm it yourself at LARA's license search.
  3. "What exactly does the transferable guarantee cover, and for how long?"The published warranty language is an unquantified superlative with no stated term. See our guide to choosing a contractor.
  4. "Is the business woman-owned, and how does that relate to Gary Lustig’s ownership?"Both claims appear on the same page without being reconciled by any public source found; ask for clarity on the actual ownership structure.
  5. "Do you recommend a backwater valve for my block, and is it in the quote?"Several of the cities in their curated service list sit in or near combined-sewer territory. See our combined-sewer overlay.
