Bryce was an excellent inspector and was completely up front about our situation. We had a few minor exterior cracks and called for a free inspection. Bryce walked me through everything and delivered some great news that we should just monitor our cracks. We definitely would recommend Groundworks for any cracks or settling in your foundation. Best to be proactive and address any worries or concerns as early as possible.

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.

Mark D, Dan S, Riley G, Jake K, and Aaron R could not have been more professional. A detailed quote, clearly described deliverables and a very competitive price got my attention. But it was the installation process, daily debriefs and progress reports that earned my respect for this team. Exceptional craftsmanship and a finished product that exceeded my expectations.

The job and crew was great. We worked with Dennis consultation and the crew Daniel S., Riley G and Nicholas S for the job. They were wonderful with the work and communication throughout the process. It looks great and now the basement is waterproofed and ready to be finished. The walls are fully supported and will last for many years to come. Thanks again guys!

Would recommend- Worked out options to fit our needs and budget and we appreciated the patience with all our questions. The install was relatively painless (we opted to do the prep work to remove stud walls) and the workers were thoughtful and respectful. They were efficient, quick, and the project looks fantastic. We really appreciated their positive attitudes and thorough clean up.

John W. was the gentlemen that came by to do a free inspection for my wife and I. We initially had him over to check out a chimney leak, but he helped is realize that it was more of a roof problem than a chimney. He also was very down to earth and kind enough to gift us with knowledge about our home since we are first time homeowners. We really appreciate the excellent service and we will definitely recommend Groundworks to friends and family.

We recently had our crawl space encapsulated by FSM and the results are very impressive. The crew consisting of Tim, Kody, and Sid kept us informed all along the way. These guys attended to the work with diligence and care. They were thoughtful and took care that the work area was neat as well as our home. We can't thank them enough for the professional way they executed the project. When all was complete, I inspected the crawl space and was overwhelmed with the attention to detail and how meticulous Tim, Kody, and Sid are upon me seeing the results of their labor. These guys demonstrated a pride in what they do and it shows in the way they interacted with us. If anyone ever asks me about what to do about their crawl space I will certainly recommend FSM most strenuously and certain tell them if they get the work done, to ask for Tim, Kody, and Sid.

John W came out to complete our annual inspection and did a fantastic job. He was very personable, thorough, and took the time to walk me through everything he was checking so I understood the condition of the system. He answered all of my questions clearly and pointed out a few things to keep an eye on in the future. I really appreciated his honesty and the fact that he focused on what actually needed attention right now rather than trying to upsell anything. Excellent service and a very professional experience. Highly recommend!

Structural Repair Expertise in Kalamazoo

Foundation problems in your Kalamazoo, MI, home are pretty common. Located in the southwestern part of the lower Michigan peninsula, the climate is generally more favorable to growing crops, than ensuring a dry home environment. 

The soil in Kalamazoo, and the surrounding areas of Battle Creek, Three Rivers, and Harford, also contributes to the many wet basements and crawl spaces. The area has loam soil. Loam soil is considered a ‘combination soil’ and consists of clay, sand and silt. Loam soil is prone to soil erosion, which can occur regularly in Kalamazoo. When the soil around your home is continuously washed out, it lacks the structural integrity to keep your foundation sound, causing sinking and settling as well as cracks and water intrusion. 

In addition to soil erosion concerns, Kalamazoo has a large number of rainy days throughout the year. When water or moisture is left untreated in a basement or crawl space, problems like mold, mildew and wood rot can cause serious health problems. 

These problems are all too common for homeowners in the southern part of Michigan and the Kalamazoo area specifically, but you don’t have to live with these damaging issues. FSM’s team of professionals can offer permanent solutions to tackle your foundation, basement, and crawl space needs.
