Groundworks CFI welcomed at door by customer

History

Spouses Bob and Vicki Genord started Foundation Systems of Michigan out of their home after noticing a gap in services in the area. They focused on educating the customer about the issues with their home and the repair methods. In 2020, FSM partnered with Groundworks, the nation’s leading and fastest-growing foundation and water management solutions company and immediately expanded its service coverage. FSM has an A+ rating with the BBB and was honored by the Livonia-Westland Chamber as Outstanding Business of the Year in 2024. Today, FSM continues to serve Michigan homeowners under the Groundworks name.

Over two years ago i had another individual come out, check my foundation and preceded to tell me that my house was going to collapse if my 1/2 drop working towards the main drain, went any further. Saying the only reason the collapse had not occurred yet, was due to the solid poured concrete walls. No solution other than at this point the house will stay standing. With that knowledge my house was on the verge of falling in on itself I finally decided to call sometime later to see if the inevitable was here. Thank goodness I got Mark Dunbar! Wish I would have asked the first time he was out instead of waiting longer. Come to find out all the worry over the past two years was unnecessary! He took the time to explain in detail why the house was good and what to look for in the event something does need to be addressed. You can see Marks passion for delivering correct information while keeping customers interest first and foremost! I’ll definitely be calling him when we need to purchase our quality made whole house dehumidifier!! Thanks again Mark for the phenomenal customer service!!

Anyone who needs any kind of foundation work done, Groundworks is the place to hire. Last winter was brutal to our basement fireplace chimney, so bad that it made it lean away from the house. Jacob,Austin, and Maxwell from Groundworks placed piers in the ground and straightened it back to normal. Thank you Groundworks.

Andy was extremely professional and helped me understand how and why water was entering my basement. He provided a wealth of information and conducted a thorough inspection. This was, by far, the most informative inspection I've ever experienced.
