MBM Engineering and Inspection Services in Michigan

Michigan’s diverse geography and building styles present a wide array of engineering complexities:  

• Foundation Movement from Soil Expansion: Expansive soils in regions like Flint and Lansing can cause foundation heave and cracking. We provide soil stabilization solutions and deep foundation alternatives to maintain stability.
• Frost Heave in Northern Michigan: Cold winters trigger soil expansion that affects basement walls,      slab-on-grade structures, and exterior masonry. We design foundation systems to resist frost action, ensuring long-term durability.
• Stormwater Management and Drainage: Improper drainage systems often lead to saturated soil and hydrostatic pressure. We design grading improvements and perimeter solutions that protect basements and slab foundations from water intrusion.
• Structural Concerns in Lakeside and Waterfront Areas: Properties along Michigan’s Great Lakes are subject to fluctuating groundwater levels, erosion, and wind loads. Our solutions include corrosion-resistant materials and foundation anchoring systems that enhance structural endurance.

We offer expert commercial property inspection service in Michigan for developers, property managers, and institutional investors. Each report includes actionable findings on building performance, safety compliance, and risk mitigation.

Industries and Structures We Serve:  

• Retail & Mixed-Use Spaces: We inspect structural systems in strip malls, storefronts, and      commercial plazas—assessing roofing, framing, HVAC support systems, and egress compliance.
• Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities: Our team evaluates floor load ratings, framing strength, and      structural compatibility with high-capacity machinery and overhead cranes.
• Healthcare & Educational Buildings: We ensure that these critical facilities meet both structural and      safety standards, including ADA compliance and seismic preparedness.
• Multi-Family Residential & Condominium Complexes: We help owners and property managers maintain safe living  environments by identifying early-stage structural issues, deferred      maintenance risks, and water intrusion sources.
