"These guys are the best in the business! They repaired a leaky poured foundation, installed a battery backup and sump pump and fresh extended sump ejection line all before lunch. ----------------------------------- When I first called FSM to come take a look at my foundation, they told me they were booking appointments 3 months out. I was like "dang that sucks" but I made the appointment and waited. I now realize why these dudes are so busy. They have their entire process including project evaluation, scheduling, permit requirements, inspection requirements, and the actual corrective work done to solve my foundation issue, down to a science. Dale was our first contact with the company. He came out and evaluated the crack I had in the wall and described why it was happening and what he recommended that I do to get it resolved. He was not pushy at all. He offered me less expensive alternatives and then "the right way" to do it and let me make the choice. He helped me schedule the work and took payment all in my kitchen. It was pretty seamless. He set a date that the workers would come out and they hit it. Some time prior to the crew coming out, I received a followup call from FSM confirming that I had the area cleared and the time the crew would be arriving. The morning of the job, everything happened as was described to me. Quentin H. called me the morning of letting me know they were enroute. I had to take my kids to school and said the door was open if they wanted to start bringing things in. Quentin and his crew (Anthony H. and Jordan S.) arrived promptly and got to work even though I wasn't there (thanks guys). I arrived shortly after they did and Quentin walked me through everything that was going to take place. He described the work that was going to be done and he already had the inspector on the way to approve things. He was extremely organized, calm, cool and collected. Before I had arrived, the crew had already laid down tons of tarps and plastic on my carpet in the basement so as not to get anything dirty. After they removed the plastic and tarps at the end of the job, you couldn't even tell they'd been there. Quentin, Anthony, and Jordan worked hard and got the whole job done and cleaned out of the house by about 1pm. If I had tried to do this myself, I'd still be knee deep in busted concrete and my wife would have left me long ago. After everything was wrapped up, Quentin walked me through all of the work once again to show me what was done, how to care for it, and how to operate some of the new equipment that had been installed. He even left me his personal cell phone number if I had any issues. I can't say enough good things about this company and this crew. Basement issues really suck and they are expensive to repair but when you have a company and a crew like this that are extremely well organized, professional, and efficient, it makes the whole thing a lot less sucky and really gives you some peace of mind."

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Redford

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture in your crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time.

Groundwater Seepage

Poor drainage or leaking pipes can lead to standing water in your crawl space, potentially causing mold growth and compromising structural integrity.

Poor Ventilation

Open vents in your crawl space allow humid air to enter, leading to condensation, mold, and long-term moisture damage.

Pest Infestations

Damp or unsealed crawl spaces create an inviting environment for rodents, termites, and other pests, leading to structural damage and contamination.

Soil Settlement

Shifting soil beneath your home can lead to foundation settlement, causing sagging floors and damage to crawl space supports.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in crawl space foundation walls allow water, pests, and unconditioned air to enter, causing moisture and structural issues.

High Energy Bills

Poorly sealed or damaged crawl spaces can increase heating and cooling costs due to energy loss.

Stack Effect

Damage in your crawl space allows mold and odors to spread into your home. Repairing the crawl space prevents this, improving your air quality and living environment.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can shift the soil beneath your home, leading to sagging floors or structural damage in your crawl space. Repairing these issues restores stability and protects your home from further problems.

FAQs

A crawl space repair estimate or inspection typically includes a thorough examination of the crawl space to identify any issues such as moisture, mold, pests, or structural damage.

Sagging or bouncy floors can be a result of inadequate support in the crawl space, often caused by deteriorating or insufficient joists and beams. Moisture damage and soil settlement can also contribute to this problem, weakening the structural components beneath your floors.

During a crawl space inspection, you can expect the inspector to evaluate the area for signs of water intrusion, pest infestations, mold, and structural issues.
