John W. was honestly the best! He’s the inspector I needed from the start. I’m a first time homeowner so the questions were flying and a lot was learned. He’s truly passionate on what he does. Felt like I was on a field trip at my own house. Took so much time educating, making sure I fully understood the situation. Not your average tech trying to sell you what you don’t need. A++ quality and he’s definitely a number I’d put down in my books!

Delivered exactly as promised. I ended up not having to use their services but, our service representative really delivered. Jake McCurdy was prompt and provided the most thorough “free” inspection service I have ever received. He did not try to sale me things unnecessarily. He presented his findings, educated me on the options and risks if I did not go with the repairs. It was a memorable experience-wish I had called them before I finished my basement. I am currently going to try to eliminate the problem at the source. If that doesn’t work- I will be calling FSM back.

Jacob, Steven and Issac worked miracles in the very shallow crawl space under our home. It required 5 steel beams and 15 jacks to support failing beams. They were professional, communicated well and were respectful of our space and home. Thank you for going above and beyond to do this work with the minimal space for access. They cut a small (12×6) access in the cinder block foundation to bring in the steel beams and were able to use the interior crawlspace access to bring in the rest of the materials. I was so relieved the work could be done properly without damaging the kitchen tile floor and stone countertops.

FSM completed work on my basement in November 2025. I am thrilled to say that my basement is dry this morning, after the tremendous storm last night, the pump installed is working great and my yard has no standing water. Jake Whitlow was the foreman on site and the crew was great!

After repeated moisture issues in part of our basement, we contacted this company for a proper waterproofing solution instead of another temporary fix. The inspector explained the source of the problem clearly and outlined several realistic solutions without pressuring us into unnecessary upgrades. Compared to previous contractors we dealt with, this company felt much more knowledgeable and professional overall. The crew completed the work efficiently and kept us updated throughout the project. Since everything was finished, the basement has stayed completely dry even after several heavy storms, and the air in that part of the house feels noticeably less humid.

John came to do an inspection of our water proofed basement. He called on his way and was on time. He worked efficiently and was able to show me pictures of his outcomes. He noticed an insulation issue and wrote a quote which we cannot take advantage of at this time. My husband scheduled an appointment for John to come and look at our crawl space for maintenance in the spring. We'll done,John.

I had a fantastic experience with Jason R.. Not only did he fix everything that needed attention, but he also went above and beyond by addressing additional issues. The final result looks amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. Highly recommend!

Quick and professional work by Jacy H, Jonah H, Jarrel J, and Ethan H. Despite using a concrete saw and jack hammer in our basement making a new drainage trench, there was no dust or debris left for me to clean up. Well done!

Jonah H. with Logan D. and Bryant D. arrived on time and were extremely polite and well mannered. They efficiently installed the IntelliJack Stabilizer System in my almost eighty year old home. They were remarkably cheerful considering they were working on Christmas Eve. Thank you FSM and team!

Had my yearly checkup with FSM last week and Joseph Spezia was my tech. Super easy to work with and recommended a couple of minor things to keep an eye on. This company is NOT greedy or pushy; they honestly just want to do a good job. Happy customer.
