Your Foundation Is Sinking,
We’ll Drive It Back to Solid Ground.

With over two decades of waterproofing experience, our team at BWM are experts in resistant and effective crawl space encapsulation solutions made to maintain your crawl space’s dry environment, keeping it free from moisture problems.

Your Sagging Floors Are Telling You Something

If your floors slope, dip, or feel bouncy, that’s not just wear and tear. That’s your home crying out for help.

Foundation settlement is a silent, creeping threat. Over time, the soil beneath your home shifts—whether from moisture changes, poor compaction, or Michigan’s relentless freeze-thaw cycles. As that soil weakens, your home loses support. Floors sag. Walls crack. Doors stick. And your home’s value—and safety—start to slide.

That’s where piering comes in. It’s not just a fix—it’s a structural reset.

What Is Piering, and How Does It Work?

Piering is a proven foundation repair method that stabilizes and lifts sunken sections of your home by anchoring them to stronger, load-bearing soil deep below the surface.

We use two industry-leading systems based on your home’s needs:

  • Push Piers are hydraulically driven through unstable soil layers until they reach bedrock or solid strata. Ideal for heavier homes and deep foundation settlement.

  • Helical Piers are twisted into the ground like giant screws using precision torque, perfect for lighter structures or where soil requires finesse.

Once installed, these steel piers permanently support your foundation—and can even lift it back to its original position.

You don’t need to know every technical detail. That’s our job. What you need to know is this: it works.

Why Piering Matters—Now, Not Later

“Foundation problems never go away on their own. They get worse—and more expensive.”
A sinking foundation doesn’t just risk your home’s value. It can jeopardize your family’s safety. Waiting means risking more damage—and rising repair costs. Piering is the kind of decision you’ll look back on with relief, not regret.

What Our Customers Say

After thorough research, and a number of estimates, I hired BWM to install a perimeter drainage system, sump pump, dehumidifier, and underground downspout extensions for my house. Right from the beginning I was impressed with the knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction from the entire team. I had previously hired a different company to encapsulate, and insulate, my crawl space. I wish I would have hired BWM for that project as well! I spent most of my time interacting with Will and Paul and, throughout the process, they were willing to do whatever was needed to ensure the job was done to my satisfaction. BWM is a company that is going to ensure the work they do is to the highest quality, and, if issues do come up (even if they are not necessarily caused by them), they are great to work with in getting everything completed to the customer's satisfaction. I highly recommend BWM!
