Didn’t believe that the sump pump and inside French drain could be done in two days. That is exactly what happened. Two days and the project completed. Luis S. Gustavo G. Gerson M and Devon W. Did a great job. On time, professional, personable. Clean up, yard and basement, better as can be expected. They did such a nice job, that I will never have to see them again on this property project. 😀 If needed, I would definitely use them again. From getting the bid (Dale K), to the completed project, all questions and concerns were answered. Had water intrusion in the past, nothing recently, My project was more a preventative issue going forward. So waiting for the next big storm to test the system. ⛈️ As a final note, any call I placed to FSM was returned within, or less, then the next day. Office staff, exceptional.

We had Groundworks out to install a sump pump and other water proofing measures at our home. Dean gave us an initial estimate and he was thorough and very kind. Jacob was our main contact for the on site work and he was excellent. He was kind and explained every step of the process with us. He showed us how everything would work and offered his number in case we had any questions afterward. I appreciate him and his onsite crew- they all worked very hard carrying heavy buckets of concrete in and out of our house. Very thankful and appreciative of Jacob and his crew!
Mike Kruisenga was very thorough and made sure I knew exactly what was going on.

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.

Structural Repair Expertise in Alpena
Alpena is in the northeastern part of Michigan’s lower peninsula, with its eastern border along Lake Huron. The view of the water is breathtaking, but that same lake water is devastating when it causes problems for your home’s foundation, basement or crawl space.
Alpena, and the surrounding areas of Hubbard Lake, Oscoda and Tawas City, typically have high water tables and year-round precipitation. When spring snow melt is added to the water table, wet or humid basements and crawl spaces in the Alpena area are all too common. Water in the soil surrounding your foundation can lead to mold, mildew, seeping cinder blocks, and rotting wood.
The soil in the Alpena area is mostly sand, which brings its own set of difficulties. Although sandy soil has good drainage properties, it can cause structural support issues like settling or shifting foundations.

We are experts in foundation, basement, and crawl space repair and we can help you create a safer and healthier home.
