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.

Basement Waterproofing Step 2: Installing A Waterproofing Basement System

If so, you need to hire a basement waterproofing expert. At Foundation Systems of Michigan, we have the tools and skilled technicians to assist with your wet basement. Whether it’s installing a sump pump system, or waterproofing basement walls from inside, FSM can find the right solution for you!

Dry Walls, Happy Homes

Control Basement Wall Moisture

What We Do

The worst thing to have in your basement is uncontrolled moisture. Moisture is what mold needs to grow, and that means if you have any organic material in your basement (fabric, wood, carpet, books, and prized mementos), it can get ruined—and fast. But moisture doesn’t just get in through open doorways and windows. It can get in through even the smallest cracks in your walls. That’s why our first step in the waterproofing basement system is sealing your walls with an industry-leading vapor barrier.

What We Use

Keep Your Basement Dry with Wet Basement Repair

Control Groundwater Seepage

What We Do

It’s impossible to keep water 100% out of your basement. Doing so could actually increase the pressure it puts on your home from the outside. Instead, you want to control it. You want to collect it and pump it far away from your foundation so that it can’t damage your home. That’s why an interior drainage and sump pump system is so important: they remove water and relieve the pressure put on your foundation, protecting your home from water damage.

What We Use

Combating Humidity for a Cozy Home

Control the Environment

What We Do

The final piece to the puzzle of basement waterproofing is an energy-efficient dehumidifier. Mold spores in the air can cause you and your family to have allergic reactions like coughing and shortness of breath. Not to mention, mold also eats away at your home! A dehumidifier cleans the air of mold spores and robs it of its food source—moisture. At FSM, our dehumidifiers aren’t just a guaranteed breath of fresh air, they’re easy on energy bills, too.
