"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."

Types of Basement Damage in Plainwell

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Plainwell

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
