Foundation Repair in Pontiac, MI

Review Logo 4.8 (331)

The stability of your foundation in Pontiac is heavily influenced by the clay loam soil and the region's average annual precipitation of 31 inches of rain and 42 inches of snow. This type of soil expands when wet, creating pressure against your foundation walls that can lead to cracks and uneven floors. FSM specializes in foundation repair solutions, using methods such as foundation piers, wall anchors, and crawl space jacks to stabilize your home and ensure its longevity.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is committed to providing Pontiac homeowners with essential services for foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete, gutter, and generator needs.

"I met Brian Maike in August when he came to talk to me about the Aquastop Perimeter Drain System. A friend had already had 3 estimates on her basement and when Brian gave me the cost, it was a little lower and what sold me is the lifetime warranty on the home. David and his crew came out early on a Monday (Dom & Matt) and did a fantastic job making sure the dust from removal of the cement was taken care of and cleaned up afterwards. I noticed the musty smell which was causing mold was taken care of. After 2 inspections by my city, they returned on a Friday to cement the trench. (Eric instead of Matt this time.). They did a great job again carrying all the buckets of cement and again a great clean up job. I’ve already passed along their info because of the great job done by all 5 of them. Brian was very helpful with answering all my questions before, during and at the end of the job."

Types of Foundation Damage in Pontiac

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Pontiac

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
