"Excellent customer service & inspection! I have a large crack in my concrete slab & other areas in the slab that show signs of sinking. This is my first home, and I have felt overwhelmed by the prospect of fixing this problem. In addition to the slab issue, I have a crawl space that needs help. I'm am so glad I called Groundworks, and they sent Brendan over to do my inspection. Booking online was easy, and Brendan called me the day before the inspection to talk about my home. He texted before he arrived for the appointment. He spent a lot of time with me walking through the house to look at all the problem areas. He also did a thorough inspection of the outside of the house. He was kind & patient in explaining what he was seeing. He also had several videos to show me which further explained what was going on with the slab and why it was cracking. The videos also explained how Groundworks will fix my slab issue & my crawl space issues. Brendan explained the work process, the warranty and continued services they will provide to keep annual tabs on the slab & the work they have done. At one pt, I had a question and Brendan called a colleague who is a foreman on these projects so he could make sure I had all the information I needed. We talked to Chris on speaker phone, and we decided that my slab should be stabilized, not lifted, due to the pipes inside it. The project will take place in a couple weeks. It will take 2 days (including demo of the current parquet floor), and will involve them drilling several holes in the slab in order to inject the polymer which will get into all the spaces washed away by soil erosion, moisture damage, etc that will keep the slab from moving further. I am blown away it will only take a couple days. In addition, the slab project will only cost approx $10k. I had nightmares about it costing upwards of $30k. (I just had no idea what something like this would cost.). I'm so impressed by the technology Groundworks will use, their reputation across the country and Brendan's outstanding customer service. I felt like I was being educated & supported about my home projects, not "being sold" anything. I will post a follow up review once the slab work is done. I have high hopes. I also plan to have Groundworks handle the crawl space project once the ground thaws. I now have confidence and piece of mind thanks for Groundworks. My house may not be a money pit nightmare after all!"

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in New Milford

Ever wondered why some homes in your area develop crawl space issues? The climate and soil conditions around New Milford play a significant role. New Milford's weather patterns, including diverse precipitation and temperature fluctuations, can lead to changes in soil moisture levels. This can cause the soil to expand and contract, a process known as soil heave. In particular, when the ground becomes saturated, it can lead to poor drainage and water pooling around and beneath homes. Additionally, homes situated in areas with high water tables might experience groundwater seepage, putting extra pressure on crawl space walls and floors and increasing the risk of moisture-related problems.

These environmental conditions can contribute to stress on crawl spaces, manifesting as cracks, uneven floors, and dampness. When water enters a crawl space, it can lead to significant problems like mold growth and structural deterioration over time. Sticking doors, soft spots in floors, and musty odors are early indicators of potential damage. Identifying these signs early is crucial because they tend to worsen, leading to more complicated issues if not addressed timely. Understanding and addressing these local environmental factors can help preserve the structural integrity of your home and enhance your living environment.
