I’ve been a customer of theirs for about eight years now. When they installed my New sub pump. They have been very thorough, respectful, polite, and professional. Every time they’ve come out to do service checks since the install. You get what you pay for and they have definitely earned their cost to me. I would highly recommend them. Today a great Technician, Haytham, came out to my house and he was exactly as I described above. I can also say he was a great guest in my house I enjoyed talking with. Cheerful, polite and very knowledgeable. Thank you!

Stephen C. and his crew, Matt F. Isaiah F. Justin P. completely transformed my crawl space into a masterpiece. So glad I went with FSM because of the quality work these guys did in 2 days. Hard working crew that didn’t mess around and got the job done well. They even patched/secured my heater ducts that were falling down. They went above and behind and it was truly appreciated. Thank you from the Mader family!

Justin Emond arrived at our home to do what we both thought would be a normal annual checkup. Instead, I needed a new battery and a new pump and the crock needed to be flushed. All this was happening in a house where the water and electricity and gas had been shut off as a tree had fallen on our home. He did a fabulous job and improvised using a hose and hooking up to the neighbors’ water so that the crock could get flushed. He also explained to me how these pumps work which I’ve never quite understood. He worked very efficiently and I was most impressed with him and with Foundation Systems Of Michigan.

Hunter K and Cody K did an exceptional job overhauling our crawl space. Nice guys, real professionals. Left everything nice and neat. The space before the project was a disaster. The final result is night and day, for the better! I'd recommend these guys to anyone considering a crawl space makeover. I was 100% satisfied with their work. Nice job boys! Best, Jim S

I can’t believe Joe he wouldn’t quit. We couldn’t get approved and he stayed here for hours. Missed his next appointment. He treated us like we were his own family even though he does have the same last name than us. We’ve never met him before he is so awesome. You guys got a true gem of a sales personthat works for you don’t ever let him go.

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.
