Rana H and David H came on time, checked with me as to what was to be repaired and got to work. Rana also noticed a couple of other areas that needed attention that she brought to my awareness and with my agreement, repaired those as well. I could not have had a more competent and service oriented team complete my repairs. Thank you…

I had an excellent experience with the Groundworks team. The technician (Mike), went above and beyond my expectations from start to finish. He was professional and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood the work being done and the future work I was signing up for to address the issues found in my basement. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and genuine commitment to doing the job right rather than rushing through it. Mike has vast work knowledge and truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend Groundworks, thank you for going the extra mile!

Teddy, Luis and Gerson are definitely the “A” team! They were on time, worked extremely hard, continued to keep me updated throughout the day, and cleaned up when they were done. Not only did they repair elements of prior work that was done improperly, but they also discovered and then repaired other improperly done installments. I have been with FSM (now Groundworks) for many many years. This team is certainly one of- if not THE best team I have ever had service my basement.

We just finished our waterproofing installation. WOW! Miguel A did an outstanding job leading Luis S and Gerso G. They were amazing installers! They were kind and polite and helpful. They cared about my belongings in the basement. They did a lot of hard work in one day to be ready for the city inspector the next morning. They cemented and cleaned up the next afternoon. A lot of good work was accomplished timely due to their dedication. Miguel also did an excellent job communicating with me about the job itself, how the system & sump pump work, and maintenance. They are a top notch crew! Thank you!!!!

Jason and Chad arrived timely and worked efficiently as a team. Both were polite and professional. My driveway was filled, repaired and sealed. The cleanup was great. I hate it when people do not clean up behind themselves. I feel like I got the job I paid for. Jason, reminded me of my warranty and not to hesitate to call him. These two guys were great today. And I have a positive feeling that my prior issues with my driveway may be resolved. Let's wait for the rain now. LOL Thanks again Jason R. and Chad D.

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.
