Our Beginnings: Learnt from the Largest Waterproofing Company in Michigan
My name is Federico Gonzalez, and my journey into foundation repair and waterproofing began in 1999, when I worked with the largest waterproofing company in Michigan. I learned this trade from the ground up, tackling every imaginable water and foundation problem.
But my real test of authority came unexpectedly. After the owner of that company tragically passed, their salespeople and contractors needed a solution—they needed someone they could trust to take on their hardest, most critical jobs.
They didn’t hire another company; they came directly to me and asked me to run their projects. That pivotal moment, driven by necessity and trust in my expertise, showed me that my skill was a guarantee. In 2010, I launched AM Professional Waterproofers to put my own name and family values behind that standard of work.
🤝 Why We Call Ourselves 'AM'?
AM stands for my children's names. This business is not just a commercial entity; it’s a standard I hold myself to for my family, and one I bring to yours. We believe that protecting your home is protecting your family. This personal mission is why we deliver two things better than anyone else: Proven Results and Respect for Your Property.
We Fix the Problem, Not the Symptom
Many companies patch what they see. We use 26 years of general building experience to reinforce your home’s entire structure. A Real-World Difference: We were once called in after another contractor had been taken to court eight times because a waterproofed basement kept leaking. They had missed the simple, code-required connection between the exterior and interior drainage pipe. We diagnosed and solved the problem in under an hour. That’s the difference expertise makes—it saves you money, stress, and years of frustration.
✅ Our Core Expertise: Home Structural Solutions
We are home builders specializing in foundation and framing. This advantage means we see foundation repair and water management as a single, structural challenge. Crawl Space Encapsulation: Our most requested service right now. We install sump pumps and heavy-duty liners (90-millimeter plastic) to seal your crawl space, preventing wood rot, mold, and humidity that can affect air quality throughout your entire home. Interior Waterproofing: Installing controlled drainage and sump pump systems to alleviate hydrostatic pressure and remove water before it ever touches your valuables or compromises your walls. Foundation Repair: From cracked wall injection to complete wall demolition and replacement (lifting the home with a jack), we permanently correct bowing, unstable, and damaged foundations.
🛡️ The Only True Lifetime Warranty
We offer an unlimited Lifetime Warranty on our waterproofing labor and materials. Our Promise: If our system fails years later, we return to your home and fix it at zero cost to you. We make this commitment because we trust the quality of our installation. We do the job right the first time, and our service call rate proves it. We Leave Your Home Cleaner Than We Found It: Waterproofing is messy work—it involves concrete, excavation, and debris. We handle it all. Our clients consistently tell us that they also value our cleanliness. When we leave, your property will be pristine, and your only evidence of our presence will be a dry, sound foundation.
