"A huge thank you to Bryce Edlund from Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM)! After years of spending thousands of dollars on various contractors and basement systems companies to fix a persistent leak in my basement, I finally met Bryce. He took the time to listen to my story, asked insightful questions, conducted a thorough inspection, and identified the problem, offering a permanent solution. I was at my wit's end with nowhere else to turn when I called FSM, and they sent Bryce, who is knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and incredibly talented. I am beyond happy and relieved to have found someone who could finally solve my long-standing issue. Now, I have peace of mind and a solution that works, something the other 5 companies failed to provide. Look no further, folks—Bryce at FSM is your go-to problem solver!"

"Troy and his team were so wonderful throughout this entire process! Troy came out over a year ago to quote - he spent nearly 4 hours on my property making sure that he understood exactly what was going on with each of my buildings. He took several pictures and gave a very estimate. I had several other companies come out to provide quotes & they just simply weren't as thorough or kind. Troy continued to follow up and once we were able to budget for the project, he came out and made sure nothing had changed. Throughout the job he took TONS of pictures so I didn't have to go under the building to check it out. They were professional & very respectful of our business operations. I will have them back this summer to finish up some additional projects! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.
