Mark D, Dan S, Riley G, Jake K, and Aaron R could not have been more professional. A detailed quote, clearly described deliverables and a very competitive price got my attention. But it was the installation process, daily debriefs and progress reports that earned my respect for this team. Exceptional craftsmanship and a finished product that exceeded my expectations.

We hired FSM Grand Rapids to spray foam insulate our crawl space and install a dehumidifier to help with the dampness in that area. All four workers, Jalen, DeShawn, Reggie, and Jamont were very helpful, friendly and professional. The crawl space looks so much better than it did and we are happy that it is sealed off from the cold weather. I would highly recommend FSM Grand Rapids for any of your foundation work!

I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed we are with Dan Heath and the excellent customer service he gave us. Dan was knowledgeable, professional, and patient before, during and after our new basement gutter system was installed. In today's fast paced world, it is hard to find somebody who will take the kind of time Dan gave us. We are truly grateful for his service and would not hesitate to contact him again!

Without mentioning names, the 'other' company's sump system was incorrectly installed, causing sand to fill the bucket and the drain pipes. Not only did the basement flood, it created a bow on that east wall, weakening an existing bow. No response at all from 'them' to my pleas.So I called FSM – immediate response! Greg Q assessed the situation and stood by me as we resolved things, in stages of 3 visits. Sump bucket is now properly installed, drain system improved upon, basement floor trenches and finger drains to respond to hydrostatic pressure, wall anchors installed where needed. Each repair session consisted of a team of no-nonsense, in-sync, yet very approachable and very respectful hard workers. The house was spotless when they left, inside and out. These folks are serious problem solvers. And just like that, this house finally has a no-nonsense, in-sync dry basement and a solid foundation. Thank you FSM – Team Foreman and Team, and the very responsive and supportive Office, and most definitely, Thank you Greg Q.

Jakob and his team (Alex, Nicholas and Junior) were prompt, efficient, and professional in their installation of a basement foundation drain in my home yesterday. Jakob was very helpful and responsive to my questions throughout the day and thoroughly explained operation of the new drainage system, etc. He's also an outstanding foreman, keeping his team working seamlessly and in harmony. This team was obviously very experienced! I also appreciated the very high quality of materials and workmanship. And when the crew left, EVERYTHING was cleaned up very well. This was my second experience with FSM. BOTH EXPERIENCES WERE OUTSTANDING!! Their prices are competitive, their workmanship outstanding, and their overall objective is a satisfied customer WHICH I AM AGAIN!!! Give FSM and ADDITIONAL STAR!!! THANKS GUYS!!! THANKS FSM!!! You've shown yourself to be the BEST AGAIN!!! Tom Fischer Three Oaks. MI

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.

What We Use

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.
