Groundworks of Traverse City did exactly what they were supposed to do. They quoted a price and stood behind every aspect of their work. I recommend to anyone that if they have any problems with Foundations in their property that they can count on Groundworks of Michigan. It is a very good 👍 Company. .

I really was impressed by the professionalism of Juan, Diego and Jeff., and even John who did our inspection. My crawl space is ONLY two blocks. Very tight fit. Average guy can NOT fit under there. House was built in 1954. Needless to say I have NEVER been under there and at 73 I NEVER will now. The boys did a hell of a job and clean. My gosh, I would even do that good. They even fixed one of our furnace pipes that some how came apart. They seem to have a good time together also. The service contract was WELL worth the money. Needless to say, I highly recommend FSM and if you get a chance ask for Jeff and Juan and Diego. AWESOME JOB BOYS/ Leonard Mueller

FSM of Traverse City and Josh G are awesome! I bought my house last June knowing the basement got wet and kind of flooded every spring. Last Summer when, (I can’t remember his name) came to do an inspection of the support poles they had installed a year or two before I bought the house he sold me on getting the whole basement water proofed. I’ll tell you one thing. If you think you need it done, but can’t afford it, you need to find a way to afford it. I didn’t realize how musty and stinky my house was before I had FSM do the work plus getting the awesome dehumidifier. They just came to do their annual inspection of everything and I only had one problem or rather question. I went up stairs to use the bathroom and when I came back downstairs Josh already had gotten me some dates for warranty work. I feel like I just doubled the value of my home by having them come in. Thank you FSM!

We just had our 1st appointment with Foundation System of Michigan today. The representative that came to our home was Dylan Gauld. Dylan made us feel comfortable from the 1st moment we meet him. Dylan took the time to review the waterproofing issues we had in our basement. He gave us options and listened to our needs and wants. He really made us feel comfortable with the process and put our minds to rest.

Foundation Experts in Traverse City

Homeowners like you in Traverse City, MI, are used to sun, sand and beautiful lakes. However, when your basement or crawl space turns into a lake, the result is far less enjoyable. 

Located near some of Michigan’s most beautiful waterways, Traverse City and the surrounding areas of Cheboygan, Cadillac, and Mackinaw City have more than just lake water to contend with. Their year-round precipitation, heavy snow melt, and high humid summers cause moisture in your basement or crawl space.

The constant water vapor in Traverse City causes musty smells during the summer months, and cold, drafty floors in the winter. These concerns make crawl spaces a less than desirable foundation type in Northern Michigan. If unwanted moisture is left untreated, it often leads to uneven floors and sagging foundations. Sometimes problem signs are noticed after the damage is done, so it’s good to periodically take a look and assess the situation regardless of problem signs. 

Traverse City’s sandy soil is good for drainage, but even the best soil can’t keep water out of your foundation when the saturation level is especially high.

If it sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone. Many in the Traverse City area feel your frustration and know that FSM is here to help with foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and crawl space repair.
