Groundwork’s just finished fixing a huge crack in our foundation. They were outstanding. Jacob W. answered every question my husband had. They were on time, and worked their butts off!. Flooding stopped them from working one whole day, so they came back on Saturday to finish up, even though they had worked a whole day at another job. They were very friendly and cleaned up everything before they left. I would highly recommend Jacob W, Austin H. and Denzel K. to anyone that needed foundation work done. They did excellent work!

A huge thank you to Bryce Edlund from Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM)! After years of spending thousands of dollars on various contractors and basement systems companies to fix a persistent leak in my basement, I finally met Bryce. He took the time to listen to my story, asked insightful questions, conducted a thorough inspection, and identified the problem, offering a permanent solution. I was at my wit's end with nowhere else to turn when I called FSM, and they sent Bryce, who is knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and incredibly talented. I am beyond happy and relieved to have found someone who could finally solve my long-standing issue. Now, I have peace of mind and a solution that works, something the other 5 companies failed to provide. Look no further, folks—Bryce at FSM is your go-to problem solver!

Structural Repair Expertise in Kalamazoo

Foundation problems in your Kalamazoo, MI, home are pretty common. Located in the southwestern part of the lower Michigan peninsula, the climate is generally more favorable to growing crops, than ensuring a dry home environment. 

The soil in Kalamazoo, and the surrounding areas of Battle Creek, Three Rivers, and Harford, also contributes to the many wet basements and crawl spaces. The area has loam soil. Loam soil is considered a ‘combination soil’ and consists of clay, sand and silt. Loam soil is prone to soil erosion, which can occur regularly in Kalamazoo. When the soil around your home is continuously washed out, it lacks the structural integrity to keep your foundation sound, causing sinking and settling as well as cracks and water intrusion. 

In addition to soil erosion concerns, Kalamazoo has a large number of rainy days throughout the year. When water or moisture is left untreated in a basement or crawl space, problems like mold, mildew and wood rot can cause serious health problems. 

These problems are all too common for homeowners in the southern part of Michigan and the Kalamazoo area specifically, but you don’t have to live with these damaging issues. FSM’s team of professionals can offer permanent solutions to tackle your foundation, basement, and crawl space needs.
