"We had bids from two firms; FSM offered more features at a lower cost. The work was still expensive, but we are very happy with the results. Due to the wet nature and all-at-once thaw of the spring, and the resulting level of the water table, we had a serious water problem in the crawl space (of which a small portion is concrete to accommodate mechanical systems). FSM installed drains and replaced our single sump pump -- which had no backup in case of power failure -- with their "triple-safe" pump system which includes battery backup. In addition, FSM encapsulated the entire crawl space with super-thick material. Their technicians worked very hard, all day (it was planned as a one-day job, and they finished it, but it required a LOT of effort) with few breaks, and the results have been well worth the expenditure. (We had a geothermal heating/cooling system installed a couple of weeks later, and that contractor was delighted by the condition of the crawl space -- especially since he had seen it prior to FSM's work.) The only downside is scheduling -- due to the extensive water table problem in this area, FSM's installation and maintenance are both now badly backed up, but that's hardly FSM's fault. Installation customer service (via phone) was both friendly and helpful. We highly recommend FSM."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Detroit, unexpected costs often stem from discovering deteriorated load-bearing walls, hidden water damage, or the need for soil stabilization beyond initial estimates. Additional expenses may arise from relocating utility lines, addressing outdated electrical or plumbing systems, or restoring landscaping after excavation. Unplanned environmental remediation, like removing old insulation materials, can also contribute to project complexity.

Helpful?

In Detroit, homeowners often underestimate the impact of shifting clay soil on load-bearing walls, skip detailed moisture testing, or neglect to reinforce aging brickwork common in older homes. Failing to secure all required permits and inspections is another frequent oversight. Choosing contractors unfamiliar with Detroit’s unique soil stabilization needs can also lead to structural issues and future repair headaches.

Helpful?

In Detroit, short-term benefits include improved safety, better energy efficiency, and enhanced comfort. Over the long term, structural engineering projects help prevent costly foundation or wall repairs, increase property value, and support future renovations. These improvements also boost your home’s resilience against Detroit’s climate challenges, ensuring lasting protection and peace of mind for years to come.

Helpful?

Completing structural engineering projects in Detroit—such as reinforcing load-bearing walls or upgrading foundation supports—can greatly enhance your home’s value and marketability. Buyers are drawn to properties with documented structural improvements, especially in older neighborhoods. These upgrades signal long-term stability, reduce future maintenance concerns, and help your home stand out in Detroit’s competitive real estate market.

Helpful?

When planning structural engineering in Detroit, consider factors like expansive clay soil movement, snow load requirements for roofs, and the need for proper drainage to prevent basement flooding. Assess whether your property lies in a historic district, which may limit structural changes, and always check for underground utility lines. These local conditions directly influence project design and long-term durability.
