Groundworks CFI welcomed at door by customer

History

Spouses Bob and Vicki Genord started Foundation Systems of Michigan out of their home after noticing a gap in services in the area. They focused on educating the customer about the issues with their home and the repair methods. In 2020, FSM partnered with Groundworks, the nation’s leading and fastest-growing foundation and water management solutions company and immediately expanded its service coverage. FSM has an A+ rating with the BBB and was honored by the Livonia-Westland Chamber as Outstanding Business of the Year in 2024. Today, FSM continues to serve Michigan homeowners under the Groundworks name.

Writing this review for Dylan TC from FSM. Very nice, informative and professional. Took time to explain cause and resolution of my foundation issue. Also helped greatly to figure out payment options. Extremely knowledgeable and helped make a worrisome situation easy to deal with. Thanks again.

James Nesbitt was very helpful and professional. He was honest and upfront with his estimate and he worked well with my parents to help them understand how the Groundworks system will correct the water issues in their basement. Thank you so much!

Quick and professional work by Jacy H, Jonah H, Jarrel J, and Ethan H. Despite using a concrete saw and jack hammer in our basement making a new drainage trench, there was no dust or debris left for me to clean up. Well done!
