Today I had the pleasure of meeting Kyle M. Who did an assessment of our water drainage problems. It was a great relief to have a person who was so responsive, knowledgeable, and patient, unlike others I have dealt with recently. His forthrightness, and good communication skills without being pushy was much appreciated. Our dog gave him the paws up and kisses as well, adding to the good vibes. I look forward to getting the project done feeling confident that the work will be satisfactorily.

Joshua Gaddy came to fix where the pipe coming out of the house was cut off and not taken care of properly to keep water from coming back in the house and letting the sump pump run every 15 seconds. Temporary fix and said someone would be back to fix it in the spring when the ground wasn't frozen. Your company needs something better than heat tapes for the pipe not freezing, after all we live in Michigan. Cam was told by someone to cut it off but not what to do so water wouldn't gush out on the ground right next to my house with no place to go. Joshua did the best he could for now. I wasn't happy with the problem, being I spent so much to keep water out and ruining my foundation. The job was done nicely until the pipe froze.

Richard E., Shawn E., and Sebastian M., were absolutely fantastic. Very professional when speaking to me. They kept me in the loop and with what they were doing each day and what they completed and need to finish up on the later dates. They were fantastic and I would suggest them to anyone I know.

Shane came to our house and explained the entire process for foundation stabilization and what to expect when the work was done. Steve, Austin, and Q arrived about 9 am on the day the work was to be done. They explained what they would do and went right to work. They worked quickly but made sure they took the time to answer all my questions about what they were doing. They were mindful of my property and protected my grass and plants. They finished about 1:30 pm. Having completed my garage foundation stabilization, they completely cleaned up and left my yard looking just as it had when they arrived. These guys were great. The whole process from start to finish went very smoothly. Thanks guys.

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.

We have had our house piered multiple times and each time FSM has delivered a professional, hard working, and highly qualified crew to do the job. The last 2 times it was the great crew of Javier, Austin and Joe.. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with their work. We haven't had the greatest luck with contractors but that does not apply to FSM…. they have worked hard to deliver true customer satisfaction and set a very high bar for our dealings with other folks. FSM is great!

Groundworks of Traverse City did exactly what they were supposed to do. They quoted a price and stood behind every aspect of their work. I recommend to anyone that if they have any problems with Foundations in their property that they can count on Groundworks of Michigan. It is a very good 👍 Company. .

How We Stabilize Your Basement

Our top-of-the-line products and installation practices for stabilizing walls and restoring structural integrity set us apart from the rest. Our commitment to customer service means we’ll make the process as pain-free as possible.  

Permanently Stabilize Basement Walls

What We Do

Your walls are the first place to look for signs of foundation problems. Vertical cracks can show up in drywall, and stair-step cracks run down cinder block basement walls. Neither of these are purely cosmetic—they’re structural too. At FSM, stabilizing walls is the first thing we do to restore your home. Using tools personalized to your home, we anchor your walls into alignment and reinforce them to stand strong.

What We Use

Permanently Stabilize Perimeter Basement Foundation

What We Do

Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of the key areas contributing to the destabilization of your basement perimeter foundation. Through the strategic installation of piers, reinforcements, and expert engineering, we ensure a lasting and secure foundation for your home.

We help protect everything you love, starting with your home’s foundation.

Reach out to Foundation Systems of Michigan for Basement Repair Now! 

Say goodbye to basement troubles that jeopardize your home’s structural integrity and overall comfort. Whether you’re dealing with cracked floors or bowing walls, we’ve got you covered. Address the problem today to avoid expensive fixes in the future. 

Our customer service team is ready to walk you through our process and help you schedule your free no-obligation inspection. Or schedule a day and time that works best for you with our convenient online booking system.  

FAQs

Prevention measures include improving drainage around your home, installing a sump pump, and periodic inspections to catch early signs of bowing or cracking. Proper maintenance can go a long way in preventing future issues. 

The duration for repair varies depending on the method used and the severity of the issue. Minor crack repairs can take a day or less, while more extensive bowing solutions could require several days. 

A bowed wall can progressively worsen and eventually collapse if not addressed promptly. It’s essential to take immediate action to ensure the structural integrity of your home is not compromised.
