I was very pleased that the tech, Austin, who serviced my system today, took the extra time to explain to me possible solutions to recurring issues, rather than rush through the service. Even as it tightened his schedule for the day. I’ve had similar excellent service and communication with Dennis and Phil, and recommend FSM!

Justin came out for our annual inspection. He carefully inspected/tested the sump pump, batteries, connections along with the wall anchors and outside connections. Once this was completed, he reviewed all aspects of the inspection with me and alerted me to the amount of humidity in our basement. He made some suggestions of larger dehumidifiers and reminders for our next inspection. He was very thorough and professional.

After having a great experience with this company last year when the waterproofed my basement and put beams in, I had another great experience at my first follow-up appointment. Phillip P came to adjust the beams, do measurements, and check things to make sure they were all working well. He was positive and very thorough in his work. He made sure to show me what he did, talk about what he noticed, and clean up the area. He then returned later in the week to replace the parts (screws? I don't know. They look like big screws but are surely called something different) that are no longer the correct size to "make sure they don't forget to bring them next year." He's a hard worker and did a great job!

Phil P. and Jason R. came out to our house and did an excellent job. We purchased our house after the previous owner originally used this company to adjust the flooring and thank goodness they had a transfer of ownership warranty. They adjusted the flooring and completed a thorough inspection. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. Due to negligence of the previous owner, we are having them come out to add a drainage system and sump pump. This was recommended by the company previously and the previous owners ignored the issue. I am looking forward to having this issue resolved and would recommend this company for future endeavors.

We had our 1 year sump pump system inspection performed today and the service technician, Austin West did an excellent job. I had the opportunity to ask a few questions about the operation of our sump system and the battery backup, and Austin provided all the answers I was looking for. Additionally, he performed an inspection on the health of our foundation, and took several readings for dampness and humidity in the basement area, providing additional peace of mind.

Miguel and Yasmany from the Livonia location, serviced my crawlspace which is accessed inside my house, by installing new sump pumps and efficient drainage. Which was very nasty muddy job. Not only did they do an excellent job with the instalation they were very professional and especially neat considering the conditions they had to work in. These two guys are a definite asset to FSM , A GROUNDWORKS Company!

Foundation Experts in Lansing

It’s very common for homes in Lansing and the surrounding areas of Grand Ledge, Perry, Mason, and Holt to have cold and windy winters, wet springs, and humid summers. Although dealing with Michigan weather is all part of the state’s charm, the wet and humid conditions are not always confined to the outdoors—this is when problems for your home can arise. 

Wet or humid conditions can find their way inside your basement or crawl space causing issues like mold, mildew and wood rot, not to mention water leaks every time it rains. It’s more than an annoyance, your foundation and structural supports can suffer, leaving your home weak.

Lansing’s soil type doesn’t help matters. The clay and loam soil is characteristic of Lansing, and does not drain water very well. This means the soil holds water for long periods of time, which can lead to a multitude of problems, such as water damage, crack formation, mold and mildew growth, pests, and structural damage. This type of soil, combined with the moisture issues, contributes to the high leakage risk in your basement or crawl space. 

There is good news: Lansing homeowners have permanent options to fix the problem, and do not have to live with a wet basement or crawl space forever. Getting your home properly waterproofed and structurally stable provides peace of mind knowing your family is protected. The experts at FSM can explain the best foundation, basement, and crawl space solution for your specific home.
