Description of Work: FSM installed a water guard system in my basement that included a sump pump. It was an all day event and a very labor intensive process. The professionalism and courtesy I received from this company and all the staff was exceptional! The quality of the work was great too. I had the work done last fall, however, being skeptical, wanted to wait till the spring thaw to give my service evaluation. I am pleased to report that my basement is bone dry. These folks are worth every penny they charge.

Description of Work: Repaired a crack in the foundation wall in the garage. They made sure we knew what they were doing and why every step of the way. We appreciated their taking the time to do this. Extremely professional and should we (God forbid) have foundation problems in the future, I would not hesitate to call them.

Description of Work: Interior drains around perimeter of basement and encapsulate crawl space. Problem was a job sold as 3 days took over 6 weeks and communication was terrible - notified the evening before they were not coming - I was forced to cancel numerous appointments and then they were no shows. My feeling is they over book customers and start a job and then delay completion to start another job

Description of Work: We saw them advertised on TV. They referred us to another group who dug out the crawl space. After the dirty job of the crawl space was done. FSM came in and in 1 day completed the job. It cost too much. We are not getting the benefits promised. The floor is still cold. We still are getting still getting cold drafts through the floor. Although better than before. Lastly the salesman recommended us to a contractor - (His Father) to re-model our home - It did not go well -poor quality - lack of professional workmen ship - Essentially took off with our money - we ended up firing him. Now someone else is cleaning up his mess.

Description of Work: We were having an issue with water getting into our basement, and we had Foundation Systems come in and install a drain bed along the front of the house to deal with the water. The work was done quickly exactly when they said it would be done and when they finished, we could hardly tell they had been there - they left the worksite clean and our plants intact! I was very impressed with their speed and professionalism. I absolutely would use these guys again!

Description of Work: The first meeting with the salesperson had to be rescheduled because it was later than they were supposed to schedule the appointment. The first crew was not punctual and had to be rescheduled for another day. The cuts they made on the material were not square or straight. The material did not adhere properly to the adhesive. The material used was not paintable as promised by the salesperson. The supervisor was helpful and courteous and sent his top guys out to replace the material with paintable material and to ensure the cuts were straight and square. The wall looks a lot better now. I guess it depends on what crew you get, so I would not highly recommend this company.

Description of Work: We felt that they recommended we do too much to solve our problem. They could solve the problem in a less extensive way. Also, felt they were holding us hostage by saying that they would not warranty the work if we did not purchase the three sump pump package. And what business is it of his what my husband does for a living? Just too expensive.

We are sorry to hear you were not happy with your inspection. We called you to discuss your thoughts further, but were unable to reach you. Please know that we never will sell customers something we do not truly think they need. We will always recommend whatever our inspectors determine is needed to provide our customers with a permanent fix to their problem. For us to warranty certain types of work, sometimes additional products are needed for the system to work effectively, and ultimately keep the basement dry. If you want to discuss the recommendations further, please call us back and talk to our Inspections Manager to discuss your options. Thanks for the opportunity to inspect your home.

went very badly.
Description of Work: sealed crawlspace with plastic. neglected to tell us that it was not waterproofed. all work that was done is ruined after crawlspace flooded. want 4000 more to do what should have been done in the first place. salesman even admitted he neglected to tell us that it was not waterproofed,.never came out to look at damage, just sent us a new payment plan for more work. have had more opinions from other companies and work should never have cost half that much. said we had black mold that was cleaned.was told by a professional with a biology degree that our house would have been condemned if it had black mold.

Response from Foundation Systems of Michigan
Our inspector's notes indicate that there was no evidence of any water at the time of the initial inspection, and that a drainage system and sump pump was in fact discussed, and the customer even signed a disclaimer that said “Water above liner is not warrantied unless a sump pump system and drainage system is purchased.” While we empathize with this customers situation and are willing to install a drainage system in the crawl space, we cannot be held responsible for something that was offered and refused by the customer. We were contracted to encapsulate the crawl space, and that is the service that we performed.
