Tim H. did a thorough job servicing the sump system and dehumidifier in our crawlspace. He also inspected the area in the crawlspace underneath where I noticed some differences in the floor. He found a couple issues and gave me a list of suggestions and prices if I decided to repair. Even took the time to say Hi to one of my anxious dogs which goes a long way with her socialization. Great experience

I had an estimate done. Mark came to check out my concern and confirmed to me that my home was a non-issue. Was not a pushy salesman, and was extremely knowledgeable and able to teach me a few things about my house.

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!

Mike Kruisenga came out to evaluate my broken garage floor in a very timely manner. He did a thorough inspection of the problem and gave me a comprehensive assessment of the problem and did a great job of explaining it all to me. I would recommend you to give him a call for evaluation of your foundation/concrete problems.

Great experience. Was able to easily book an inspection for my first available date. John L. came to the house to look at our problem and expertly formulated a plan. Explained to me what was wrong and what products were best to use to fix the problem. I was able to be placed on the work calendar much sooner than I anticipated. On the service date, foreman Matt K. outlined again the plan for installation of the beam and jacks required to fix our sagging floor. He answered a couple of my questions in clear terms that I could understand. Crew members Xavier T. and Tommy D. were friendly but very professional and highly efficient in their work flow. Matt K called the morning of just to ensure correct service time but FSM uses a texting system to update the customer of everything on the service date. When they’re leaving the shop, when they’ve arrived at the property. Worked flawlessly. All of it exceeded expectations!
