Before Foundation Repair:
Floor Sinking Threatens Operations
Our experts observed visible sinking in the shop floor, which was beginning to impact operations.
If left unaddressed, the issue could have led to further structural damage and increased repair costs.
After Foundation Repair:
Helical Piers
To stabilize the settling shop floor, our crew installed 10 helical piers along the affected footing. In the image, you can see the pier brackets secured to the foundation. These steel piers advance deep into stable soil, transferring the building’s weight away from the failing surface soils. This approach not only halts movement—it can also lift settled areas back toward level—all with minimal disruption to the workspace.
PolyRenewal™ Foam Injection
PolyRenewal™ foam injection was used to further reinforce and level the floor, ensuring long-term stability. One of the biggest hurdles was navigating city permitting requirements, but the Groundworks team worked efficiently to resolve these delays and keep the project moving forward.
Seeing the Positive Effects
With the shop floor successfully stabilized, the business was able to resume normal operations without any major interruptions. The owner expressed appreciation for the cost-effective and transparent approach taken by Groundworks, as well as the speed and efficiency of the repair.

David Alvarez… I could not have been more happy that you were the rep from Groundworks to check out my homes issues in regards to crawl spaces. Aside from responding back and forth via text and or phone calls regardless of the day and or hour he was on time, professional, and knowledgeable of more than just the issue I had at hand. I do not write reviews, not that guy, never have been,but for this man, regardless of whether I planned to use the company for the job or not he is more than deserving of a great review. If his company doesn't already know how much of an asset he is I would be shocked. I will be using groundworks for the job and that is because they are a reputable company and the trust that David brings to the table.
