We had waterproofing and a sump pump installed in the basement. The team of Austin W., Nathan W., Devon W. and Isaac R. did an outstanding job. The amount of hard work that goes into a project of this type is off the charts. This team never stopped and worked incredibly hard the entire time they were on site. From prepping the site, to removing concrete, to the installation process – everything went like clockwork. Our job required a 50 foot pipe installation in the backyard. One person was responsible for digging the trench by hand. When he was finished, you could barely tell the yard had been dug up. Every person was polite, professional and skilled. We are so pleased this team handled our project. Thank you!

We had piers added to our 3-season room. Tyler did a great job with the excavator, minimized the mess to the yard and house even though we got over an inch of rain the day he dug it up. Very professional and pleasant to work with. He is coming back to place the concrete patio back in June after the soil settles. Likewise working with Reina who came and pumped concrete under out 3-season floor after the foundation was prepared. She communicated well and did a nice job. Top notch workmanship from Groundworks (FSM). My room is level and all the doors and windows work again. Thanks FSM

We're had a really great experience and are glad to be using them. We had work done through another company a few years ago, which is not holding up well. (Our basement continues to smell musty sometimes.) We really liked the ability to schedule the appointment online and couldn't have asked for a better consultation with Keenan. We've been very pleased with the correspondences ahead of the work such as receiving the plans and permits. It's a lot of money to drop on something that isn't vital at the moment, but fully trust that these guys will get it done right and stand by their work.

Working with every member of this team from the free inspection and quote to the people booking, confirming and reminding you what to do, to the team that did the work was easy. They were friendly, patient and helpful. Macro, Jon, and Noel were really great when they did the work, too. The basement looks much better!

From beginning to end, Foundation Systems of Michigan was amazing. The salesman was honest, informative, personable, and truly a joy to work with. Communication prior to the insulation process was timely and clear, with updates provided whenever needed. The installers were professional, respectful of our home, and did superb work. We cannot say enough positive things about this experience. They handled everything from obtaining permits to thoroughly cleaning up afterward making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Foundation Systems of Michigan.

Foundation Specialists in Detroit

Situated in the southeastern part of the state, Detroit, and the surrounding areas of Ann Arbor, Birmingham, and Troy, struggle with precipitation year-round, plus humid summers. The constant rain and snow make moisture and water in your basement or crawl space very common. 

In all homes, but especially older homes, unwanted moisture can lead to structural damage including cracked or bowing walls and water leaks. Detroit’s soil is mainly clay, which absorbs water and becomes heavy. This heavy soil leads to hydrostatic pressure against your foundation walls, which can be disastrous to your home’s structural integrity if not treated by a professional.

Detroit weather can also have an unwanted effect on the concrete slabs around your home, such as driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks. Detroit’s long winters and hot summers kick the freeze-thaw cycle into gear, causing slabs to sink, heave, and even break off. 

Although learning your home has a foundation problem can be stressful, the experts at FSM can help. With proper repair your basement or crawl space can be fixed, and your peace of mind restored. FSM has contractors specializing in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and concrete lifting needs, so you know you are making the right choice for your home.
