We hired FSM 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. I would highly recommend FSM for any of your foundation work!

Mike Kruisenga came out to evaluate my broken garage floor in a very timely manner. He did a thorough inspection of the problem and gave me a comprehensive assessment of the problem and did a great job of explaining it all to me. I would recommend you to give him a call for evaluation of your foundation/concrete problems.

John and Jerrid both were super helpful. They gave us plenty of information and even answered the questioned we thought that they would laugh at. 😃 They told us what they would fix and do personally. We felt very understood with our concerns. Loved working with them to set up our appointment time. HUGE PLUS in our eyes they didn't sit at our home until 1030pm forcing us to buy.

I have been very impressed with FSM for my foundation needs. Carter S. and Jamont Y-D were efficient, prompt and courteous. Respectful of my property. They explained the process thoroughly and did a final walk-through ensuring my satisfaction with the job. Jordan P. was great when he came to inspect and provide recommendations for my foundation. Answered my questions and provided detailed instructions regarding preparation of my patio for the work. Definitely recommend FSM for foundation needs.

We hired FSM to level our sidewalk/walkway sections. Jayden B and Carter S arrived promptly this morning and did an excellent job! They met with us to discuss our concerns and needs so they could be sure the completed job met our expectations. We were given explanations throughout the process so that we understood what they were accomplishing. They invited us to watch the work and take photos or videos if we wanted. These guys really understand the work they are doing and accomplish their task with respect for the property. They had great attention to detail and did their work effectively and efficiently. We will need to have our driveway leveled next year and will not only call FSM, but will request Jayden and Carter do the work.

We had a foundation leak for years. We had Foundation System of Michigan do our work. We were very pleased with the end result. To never have water in the basement is such a relief. Jalen was the supervisor of his crew. They were Deshawn, Nick S. and Reggie. Jalen was very polite and apologetic for the small crews he had and for the length of time it took to complete the job. But it was a job well done. Thanks guys.

Carter S. and Riley G. did a great job on our driveway! The cement slabs in the driveway had sunk and cracked—one was at least 2” or more which made driving into the garage a bumpy experience. But they got the slabs lifted, repaired the cracks, and caulked the joints between slabs. They even wrote down what caulk we should use to do the other joints if we choose to do that. No more sinking driveway! And we greatly appreciate the company’s folllow-up where they will come check their work annually for 5 years.

We hired FSM 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 for any of your foundation work!

Foundation Expertise in Grand Rapids

Like most Michigan cities, homeowners in Grand Rapids don’t have to drive too far to find a view of a beautiful Great Lake. But this means the water table in the city is high. Located in the west-central part of the lower peninsula, the Grand Rapids area has many smaller lakes and 5 major rivers running through it. 

Grand Rapids, and the surrounding areas of Muskegon, Rockford, and Holland, deal with water in their basements and crawl spaces often because the zone of saturation is so incredibly close to the surface. Water vapor easily passes through common building materials, such as concrete and wood, causing high humidity in your basement or crawl space, and even flooding. 

Bowing walls and sinking and sagging foundations are the result of prolonged humidity and water intrusion problems. Grand Rapids’ clay soil mix doesn’t help. This type of soil absorbs water quickly and becomes heavy. Heavy soil can cause hydrostatic pressure against your foundation, resulting in cracked or bowing walls.

It’s best to get any foundation issues addressed as soon as the problem signs show themselves. Left untreated, especially in an area like Grand Rapids, you could end up with a more costly solution. FSM is here to help with your foundation repair, basement waterproofing and crawl space repair needs.
