Tim Hooper from FSM completed my 1-year basement inspection after a waterproofing job and was outstanding. He arrived on time, was professional and thorough, and clearly explained his findings and any recommended maintenance in plain language. He took photos, answered all my questions, and left me confident the system is performing as expected. Highly recommend Tim and FSM for reliable, knowledgeable service!

Last fall we had water in our basement and to diagnose the issue. John Andrews came to our house and was extremely thorough in explaining what was wrong and how to fix it. He knew we were getting ready to sell and assured us that doing this would create extra value in the house. At first, we were very skeptical at the cost to say the least. But that has been the best decision I have made for my home. It not only got us extra value but gives peace of mind to potential buyers as well.The whole installation was done professionally in 2 days and John was there for any questions or concerns during the whole process. Fast forward to selling our house, buyers have raved about how professionally done the basement work was done. It has brought us multiple offers above asking solely for that fact. Have no hesitation in using groundworks for your basement needs. John is by far their best employee throughout the whole process. Cannot recommend him enough.

FSM came out today. They sent Taj, a service tech from the Traverse City office. Taj did a thorough review of the crawlspace at my cottage and found several structural issues that I needed to address. He showed me pictures of the areas of concern and explained the necessary solutions. Taj was GREAT and explained what needed to be done to correct these concerns. What a breath of fresh air, Taj was and an asset to FSM. I feel confident with the work that needs to be done after being explained & would recommend FSM.

FSM was recommended to me for basement waterproofing. Joe came out to do a very thorough inspection and I was very impressed by his knowledge and level of detail during the walk through. By the time he left I had a very clear picture of the condition of my basement and the areas where water has affected my 80+ year old home.

John Micah T. came out to repair an issue with water discharge from our pump. He went beyond the call of duty and used his creativity to thaw an exterior pipe and insured all other pipes were tight. Thank you so much John.

I met with Dylan and Chase yesterday to discuss waterproofing my basement. I had previous experience with Ayers, and the difference was night and day, Better products, better service and solutions, better prices and a lifetime guarantee. Dylan was highly knowledgeable and personable and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend Groundworks
