Foundation Repair in East Lansing, MI

Review Logo 4.8 (330)

East Lansing's soil, often rich in clay, coupled with an average annual rainfall of around 32 inches, can create significant challenges for home foundations. The clay expands when wet, exerting hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls, which can lead to structural issues such as cracked or bowing walls. Residents should be vigilant for signs of foundation settlement, such as uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. Foundation Systems of Michigan has extensive experience in diagnosing and repairing these issues, utilizing durable American-made products like wall anchors and piers.

Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM), a Groundworks Company, is committed to providing East Lansing homeowners with reliable foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete lifting, and more.

Types of Foundation Damage in East Lansing

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in East Lansing

Water Damage

Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.

Expansive Soil

Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.

Poor Drainage

Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.

Plumbing Leaks

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

Climate Conditions

Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.

These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
