Basement Finishing Expert in Michigan

Would You Buy a Shiny, New Replacement Vehicle and Not Protect it with Insurance?

Of course not, then why would you finish your basement without protecting it against water damage?

We at Foundation Systems of Michigan bring the waterproofing expertise and know-how to the frontlines of basement finishing in Michigan.

The truth is, half of the basements we repair and waterproof have already been finished. Even a finished basement can endure water problems such as leaking pipes and HVAC units for example. Unfortunately, finishing a basement doesn't always tackle the water issue, costing the homeowner tens of thousands of dollars in damages.

In many cases, the previous contractor didn't have the materials or the understanding to do the job right. If the root of the problem doesn't get addressed right away, it will continue to wreak havoc on any homeowner-- even you.

Let's keep in mind there are only 2 types of basements: ones that leak and ones that will leak! We know this and have implemented a basement waterproofing system that works hand-in-hand with our revolutionary and easy-to-install ZenWall™ Basement Paneling System.

ZenWall™ Basement Paneling System-- A Waterproofer's Response to Basement Finishing

What do your basement's walls look like right now? Can you imagine what they'll look like in the next few years? If your walls are made and finished with organic materials such as drywall, paint, and wood accents, the walls are prone to flaking, chipping, mold growth, and severe water damage effects.

There's an alternative to dealing with these mentioned, costly repairs-- ZenWall Basement Paneling System.

This patented and revolutionary paneling system is easy to install and adjust to fit and complement your basement. Basement not finished? No problem.

Panels Designed for the Basement Environment

Here's the methodology:

While drainage systems keep the basement floor dry, our ZenWall keeps your basement walls dry! Even more, these panels are fashioned with a beautiful vinyl that's texture hides marks and is easy to clean when necessary. In addition to a vinyl finish, the ZenWall system includes a foil vapor barrier and 1/4" fiberglass core-- all inorganic, making it perfect for a basement environment.

The ZenWall Basement Paneling System delivers up to a 10 ° difference in surface temperature providing comfort and an increase in energy savings.

A Waterproofing Mentality to Basement Finishing

There's one major difference between finishing a room on the main level and finishing a room in your basement: moisture.

Unfortunately, moisture isn't a consideration for the average basement finishing contractor that uses the same standards for your basement that they would on the main floor. This means in just a few months time, mold and bacteria will be growing rapidly on the wood, drywall, paneling, carpeting, and padding-- which are typical building materials for main level finishing and NOT for a basement.

Most building products are all organic materials, meaning their particles hold and absorb moisture, giving mold and bacteria a food source in your basement. Your basement is damp, musty smelling, and inviting to mold growth.

When it comes to finishing a basement correctly and achieving a long term, comfortable, healthy environment; FSM has the technology, skill, and know-how to deliver beautiful results! We bring a waterproofing mentality to the basement finishing world-- a must in this wet and dark environment.
