Looking forward to getting this service done. Ian came by for estimate and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, low pressure, and he helped us decide that this is the direction we should go. He explained the product and the process very well so when he left we had no questions as to what we should expect… So far so good. If the install portion of the project goes this smoothly then we will certainly be pleased beyond words!!

Tim Hooper from FSM completed my 1-year basement inspection after a waterproofing job and was outstanding. He arrived on time, was professional and thorough, and clearly explained his findings and any recommended maintenance in plain language. He took photos, answered all my questions, and left me confident the system is performing as expected. Highly recommend Tim and FSM for reliable, knowledgeable service!

Stephen C. and his crew, Matt F. Isaiah F. Justin P. completely transformed my crawl space into a masterpiece. So glad I went with FSM because of the quality work these guys did in 2 days. Hard working crew that didn’t mess around and got the job done well. They even patched/secured my heater ducts that were falling down. They went above and behind and it was truly appreciated. Thank you from the Mader family!

James has been terrific so far. We had a delay getting our project started (probate situation) and James stayed in contact with us, never pressured, and was ready the second we were cleared to move out. He is professional, personable, and kind. I am looking forward to working this project with him.

Today was the 2nd year inspection of the basement (water) repair work by FSM. I was pleased with their representative Joshua Gaddy and found him to be amiable and very knowledgeable. After the usual inspection he was kind enough to check my homes foundation and reported "found no problems".

Foundation Experts in Traverse City

Homeowners like you in Traverse City, MI, are used to sun, sand and beautiful lakes. However, when your basement or crawl space turns into a lake, the result is far less enjoyable. 

Located near some of Michigan’s most beautiful waterways, Traverse City and the surrounding areas of Cheboygan, Cadillac, and Mackinaw City have more than just lake water to contend with. Their year-round precipitation, heavy snow melt, and high humid summers cause moisture in your basement or crawl space.

The constant water vapor in Traverse City causes musty smells during the summer months, and cold, drafty floors in the winter. These concerns make crawl spaces a less than desirable foundation type in Northern Michigan. If unwanted moisture is left untreated, it often leads to uneven floors and sagging foundations. Sometimes problem signs are noticed after the damage is done, so it’s good to periodically take a look and assess the situation regardless of problem signs. 

Traverse City’s sandy soil is good for drainage, but even the best soil can’t keep water out of your foundation when the saturation level is especially high.

If it sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone. Many in the Traverse City area feel your frustration and know that FSM is here to help with foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and crawl space repair.
