James was very nice and understanding of the situation. He took his time working out all the problems and explained everything in a way that we could understand with ease. He connected, joked, and helped lessen our concerns. Understanding our money concerns with big repairs, He offers many options and worked out the numbers right infront of us with no hidden fees. I recommend him.

I want to thank Richard and his crew, Sebastian, Martin and Shawn for a job well done. You and your crew went above and beyond to work through the hurdles we discovered along the way, including the weather. Everyone was professional, polite, hard working and put the customer first. Thank you all for a job well done and for helping me understand everything through the process. They also, took photos of each stage and Richard explained the details every step of the way. The companies work is backed by a lifetime warranty and I am now confident in the structural integrity of our home. Thank you!

Dave Pearson, Matt, & Jacy were prompt, friendly, respectful to us and our home, professional, and worked hard all day. They hauled out trash & muck from the crawlspace, leveled it, did mold abatement, installed two new sump pumps, dug new drainage inside and outside, insulated the foundation walls, installed a permanent dehumidifier, and encapsulated the entire crawl space. They cleaned up the mess at the end of each work day without prompt. We enjoyed having this work crew in our home and would request the same crew if further services are needed.

I already submitted a rating and short evaluation but the work was finished in two stages because of a missed communication on leakage from the base of a chimney. The oversight was quickly remedied and the additional work was neatly finished.

Structural Repair Expertise in Alpena

Alpena is in the northeastern part of Michigan’s lower peninsula, with its eastern border along Lake Huron. The view of the water is breathtaking, but that same lake water is devastating when it causes problems for your home’s foundation, basement or crawl space.  

Alpena, and the surrounding areas of Hubbard Lake, Oscoda and Tawas City, typically have high water tables and year-round precipitation. When spring snow melt is added to the water table, wet or humid basements and crawl spaces in the Alpena area are all too common. Water in the soil surrounding your foundation can lead to mold, mildew, seeping cinder blocks, and rotting wood. 

The soil in the Alpena area is mostly sand, which brings its own set of difficulties. Although sandy soil has good drainage properties, it can cause structural support issues like settling or shifting foundations. 

FSM has proven solutions to stabilize sinking foundations and bring your floors back to level ground. We are experts in foundation, basement, and crawl space repair and we can help you create a safer and healthier home. Using cutting-edge products and specialized installers, you’ll have peace of mind that your biggest investment is protected.
