We recently had our crawl space encapsulated by FSM and the results are very impressive. The crew consisting of Tim, Kody, and Sid kept us informed all along the way. These guys attended to the work with diligence and care. They were thoughtful and took care that the work area was neat as well as our home. We can't thank them enough for the professional way they executed the project. When all was complete, I inspected the crawl space and was overwhelmed with the attention to detail and how meticulous Tim, Kody, and Sid are upon me seeing the results of their labor. These guys demonstrated a pride in what they do and it shows in the way they interacted with us. If anyone ever asks me about what to do about their crawl space I will certainly recommend FSM most strenuously and certain tell them if they get the work done, to ask for Tim, Kody, and Sid.

Anyone who needs any kind of foundation work done, Groundworks is the place to hire. Last winter was brutal to our basement fireplace chimney, so bad that it made it lean away from the house. Jacob,Austin, and Maxwell from Groundworks placed piers in the ground and straightened it back to normal. Thank you Groundworks.

I have been very impressed with FSM for my foundation needs. Carter S. and Jamont Y-D were efficient, prompt and courteous. Respectful of my property. They explained the process thoroughly and did a final walk-through ensuring my satisfaction with the job. Jordan P. was great when he came to inspect and provide recommendations for my foundation. Answered my questions and provided detailed instructions regarding preparation of my patio for the work. Definitely recommend FSM for foundation needs.

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.

Jayden and Carter were hard working and friendly, even they arrived late in the day (not their fault). They did an excellent job leveling the concrete in my driveway. My only criticism is that the filler they used for the cracks was not a good match to the old concrete in my driveway.

Foundation Expertise in Grand Rapids

Like most Michigan cities, homeowners in Grand Rapids don’t have to drive too far to find a view of a beautiful Great Lake. But this means the water table in the city is high. Located in the west-central part of the lower peninsula, the Grand Rapids area has many smaller lakes and 5 major rivers running through it. 

Grand Rapids, and the surrounding areas of Muskegon, Rockford, and Holland, deal with water in their basements and crawl spaces often because the zone of saturation is so incredibly close to the surface. Water vapor easily passes through common building materials, such as concrete and wood, causing high humidity in your basement or crawl space, and even flooding. 

Bowing walls and sinking and sagging foundations are the result of prolonged humidity and water intrusion problems. Grand Rapids’ clay soil mix doesn’t help. This type of soil absorbs water quickly and becomes heavy. Heavy soil can cause hydrostatic pressure against your foundation, resulting in cracked or bowing walls.

It’s best to get any foundation issues addressed as soon as the problem signs show themselves. Left untreated, especially in an area like Grand Rapids, you could end up with a more costly solution. FSM is here to help with your foundation repair, basement waterproofing and crawl space repair needs.
