This section of my house was over a 100 years old and had sunk a couple inches. I was so incredibly nervous about having the helictical piers installed and the house lifted. My salesperson and the ground crew kept reassuring me that they knew what they were doing and they would do their best. I am so happy with the outcome! They went above and beyond to treat my home with respect. Many thanks

Joe came out was very informative about everything that we need to get done, i bought a lot of things for my house for it to be improved, but I've never met a salesman that was so informative. We didn't want him to go period but he had to go cook for his 9 children period Also during the process and he didn't have to say it. Ever dry company. Definitely. Lee gave us a false expectation. I will make sure that foundation systems of Michigan gets spread out. To every. Friend and family that.I know for the rest of my life

We just finished our waterproofing installation. WOW! Miguel A did an outstanding job leading Luis S and Gerso G. They were amazing installers! They were kind and polite and helpful. They cared about my belongings in the basement. They did a lot of hard work in one day to be ready for the city inspector the next morning. They cemented and cleaned up the next afternoon. A lot of good work was accomplished timely due to their dedication. Miguel also did an excellent job communicating with me about the job itself, how the system & sump pump work, and maintenance. They are a top notch crew! Thank you!!!!

I had concrete floor leveling, and a foundation pier system installation. The droughts over the last few years caused any area supported by a trench foundation to sink. Gaps on the brick formed. The garage side door would not open. The concrete leveling took 1 day, and the foundation work took 2 days. These projects required 2 separate crews, as crew specialize. The foundation work was done 1st, followed by the concrete slab leveling a couple of days later. Both crews arrived a little after 8 am. They were professional, and answered my questions. I took some pictures of the foundation work, also. When the crews were finished, they left the areas broom clean, which is standard. Nothing was damaged. The foundation exposure took place on the 1st day. The lifting took place on the morning of the 2nd day. The inspector came around noon and approved the project. The crew then filled in the dirt, cleaned up and left. The foundation work area have dirt piles next to the brick. This is normal as it takes time for the dirt to settle. I had foundation work at our house about 20 years ago, on another area with a trench foundation. So, I knew what to expect. Also, the crew took out 3 bushes for me to transplant in my front yard. They also replanted a medium size firebush for me in the backyard. I did lose some shrubs due to the dirt needing to settle.

Just have to say, in what could be one of the worst situations to find yourself, this process was made so much easier with the help of our awesome inspector Rana! She was beyond helpful, courteous, and went above and beyond to try and make everything work out for us. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything in great detail. She reviewed all our options and worked tirelessly with us to find the best possible solution. Not once did she ever make us feel that we were putting her out or wasting her time with our endless questions. Rana, you are the best!

DeCovon and his team (Dewayne and Darius) were amazing! It was thought to be a quick job, but they ran into unseen issues after the floor came up. They fixed everything over the next two days making sure the job was done 100% right. Now we have a professional system and the piece of mind that our basement will be dry. If you are considering this company for your home, stop the search and choose FSM Livonia now!

Foundation Experts in Lansing

It’s very common for homes in Lansing and the surrounding areas of Grand Ledge, Perry, Mason, and Holt to have cold and windy winters, wet springs, and humid summers. Although dealing with Michigan weather is all part of the state’s charm, the wet and humid conditions are not always confined to the outdoors—this is when problems for your home can arise. 

Wet or humid conditions can find their way inside your basement or crawl space causing issues like mold, mildew and wood rot, not to mention water leaks every time it rains. It’s more than an annoyance, your foundation and structural supports can suffer, leaving your home weak.

Lansing’s soil type doesn’t help matters. The clay and loam soil is characteristic of Lansing, and does not drain water very well. This means the soil holds water for long periods of time, which can lead to a multitude of problems, such as water damage, crack formation, mold and mildew growth, pests, and structural damage. This type of soil, combined with the moisture issues, contributes to the high leakage risk in your basement or crawl space. 

There is good news: Lansing homeowners have permanent options to fix the problem, and do not have to live with a wet basement or crawl space forever. Getting your home properly waterproofed and structurally stable provides peace of mind knowing your family is protected. The experts at FSM can explain the best foundation, basement, and crawl space solution for your specific home.
