AI-Powered Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing in Grand Island, NE
Groundworks, foundation solutions crafted with pride
Your home’s foundation is the bedrock on which your life rests. But maintaining your home, especially the foundation, takes effort. In an area like Grand Island, Nebraska, where the climate and soil conditions do not provide any help, it’s important to be aware of foundation damage. Signs of foundation problems include cracked walls, musty smells, and uneven concrete slabs.
The homes in Nebraska have foundation damage due to the soil and how it erodes. In Grand Island, NE and the surrounding areas, the silty loam soil that is mixed with sand erodes easily. Add in the area’s year-round precipitation, both in the form of rain and snow, and foundation troubles become frequent. With 75 percent of the rain falling from April to September, it’s a good idea to do a foundation inspection before the rainy season begins.
In addition to the precipitation, Grand Island homeowners also deal with occasional tornados and severe thunderstorms. Both these types of storms cause heavy wind damage, typically from the south, adding to the erosion problem.
The good news is that even with the problematic soil and weather, Groundworks can restore your home and make it structurally sound once again. We offer a free foundation inspection and discuss your home’s foundation solution options. All repairs come with a long-term warranty to ensure peace of mind for years to come.

Groundworks was great to work with. I had a leak in my basement and Jeremy from Groundworks came to my home and clearly explained what they would do. The cost was less than their competitors. Emanuel and Luis installed everything and they were very professional, communicated well, and did an excellent job. Emanuel asked me often if I had any questions and he kept me informed as to all the steps in the process. He and Luis worked diligently all day and were able to complete the project in one day. They tested the sump pump to make sure it worked and a few days after they left, we got rain and I had NO water in my basement. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Groundworks.

Shane was on-time and very professional. He explained what he was doing and why in an easy to understand manner. After looking at our problem he made his reccomendation and didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary things (like some other well-known company that starts with a T).

They did a wonderful job trying to keep the dust to a minimum and were so great about cleaning up afterwards. Their communications throughout the process was also very much appreciated. Not to mention that they were very friendly as well. Thank you to Mel, Aung, and Enwah for all the hard work you did over the course of a few days! All the different things you did to make the experience as good as possible did not go unnoticed!

I recently had the privilege of having my basement crawlspace encapsulated (3-layer protection) by Groundworks and I am beyond thrilled with the results. The project included the installation of a sum pump, 75 feet of drainage line, drainage mat, insulation, and heavy-duty plastic, and after just a couple of days, the improvements have been remarkable. In the past, my basement was plagued by a stagnant pond-like odor, a constant temperature of 59 degrees, and uncomfortably high humidity. Now, thanks to the encapsulation, the odor is completely gone, the humidity has been cut in half, and even without the subfloor installed, the temperature has noticeably risen. It’s incredible how much of a difference the encapsulation has made already. I first encountered Groundworks at the Home Show in Denver, where their display of encapsulation systems stood out as the best of the show. Their products were clearly superior to the competitors, both in quality and appearance. After receiving multiple bids, all of which were similarly priced, we ultimately chose Groundworks—especially after seeing how they provided honest, straightforward information without using scare tactics to upsell additional products. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional leadership and professionalism of the job foreman, Guillermo Hernandez. From start to finish, Guillermo and his team exceeded my expectations. Guillermo was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. He kept us fully informed at all times, conducting daily walkthroughs to show us the progress and outline the plan for the following day. His communication and dedication to the project were top-notch. Guillermo’s crew—Memo, Lazaro, Ulises, and Diego—were equally impressive. They were all punctual, respectful, and hard-working, giving their best to every aspect of the job. Their attention to detail and insistence on perfection were evident, and their commitment to delivering quality results was remarkable. It was some of the most intense labor I’ve ever witnessed, and I’m grateful for their hard work. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the job done by Groundworks. The encapsulation has already made a huge difference in my basement’s environment, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of this type of work. A special thank you to Guillermo and his crew for their professionalism, hard work, and dedication to excellence. I am attaching before, during and after pictures.

Micah is awesome! A very great ambassador of the GroundWorks brand and a pleasure to have in our home. After our meeting, I have all the information I need to make an informed decision. He was extremely thorough, respectful, and knowledgeable about our foundation issue, and was able to communicate the options in a way that made sense. I loved our conversation and feel like he really knows what he's talking about. Thanks for sending him to help us with this issue! Highly recommend!

We had bowing walls in our basement and a family friend recommended Groundworks. Micah Waldo was our inspector, we did a wonderful job of walking us through our options and giving his expert opinion. We got our work schedule and it all went swimmingly. The foreman Emanuel Valdez and his team ( Sa Aung and Luis Vazquez) were very mindful of our pets and property. You couldn’t tell they had dug holes in the yard, and did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves. I couldn’t recommend all of these people or the company enough.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Grand Island
If you live above an untreated crawl space, sagging floors, musty odors, and a humid home are all too familiar problem signs. In Grand Island and elsewhere, old building science used to insist crawl space vents be installed. The idea being air could flow in and out, keeping the crawl space dry. We now know that this air transfer causes a lot more harm than good. When warm and cold air meet, water in the form of condensation forms. Condensation is a major red flag in a crawl space. Once noticed it should be addressed quickly before it results in serious damage. With the high levels of humidity in Grand Island and the surrounding areas, plus the frequent precipitation, vents are especially a poor idea.
One call to the crawl space experts at Groundworks can help put your mind at ease. Our patented crawl space encapsulation system uses a 20-mil thick vapor barrier liner on the walls and floor to seal out moisture and water and create a dry environment. All openings are sealed, including any existing vents, to ensure a superior solution as compared to the common 6-mil thick builder-grade liner that is often installed. Proper drainage is installed and an energy-efficient dehumidifier, specifically designed for crawl spaces, can be added if needed.
Depending on the structural condition of the crawl space, crawl space jacks like our SettleStop IntelliJack™ system may be the solution. When mold is left untreated, it weakens wood, leading to sagging or sloping floors. The SettleStop IntelliJack™ system is an adjustable support that will last for years to come. Made of strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, these jacks can be adjusted if the support needs of your home change.

Foundation Repair Experts in Grand Island
When it comes to foundation problems due to the type of soil in the Grand Island region, they are not unheard of. Homeowners notice signs of a foundation sinking because the sandy silt-loam soil is prone to erosion. When soil washes out, it leaves gaps beneath your home. A foundation left without strong, stable soil for support will settle. Of course, settlement won’t happen evenly. Typically, a home will settle to one side or the other, which is called differential settlement. The stress this settlement puts on the home can be seen almost everywhere. From sticking doors and windows, foundation cracks, tilting chimneys, and uneven floors, to gaps above door and window frames, if any of these signs are noticed, it’s important to call the professionals at Groundworks right away.
Unfortunately, this foundation problem can happen regardless of the kind of foundation you have. Slab, basement, and crawl space foundations are all potential sinking foundation victims. The team at Groundworks has you covered. Instead of the costly and disruptive foundation replacement, the trained installation team can install strong steel piers to support and lift your home. This option ensures the soil surrounding your home is no longer responsible for stabilizing it. The weight of your home is transferred to a series of galvanized piers, driven deep into stable, virgin soil. These foundation repairs come with a long-term transferable warranty.
Expert Grand Island Basement Waterproofing
A musty, leaking basement is so common in the Grand Island area that homeowners forget that’s not how basements should smell. The soil conditions and frequent temperature swings mean the soil around your foundation expands and contracts regularly, leaving gaps during the dry season. As water is introduced it is soaked up by the porous concrete building materials of your foundation where it sits until it finally finds its way in. Homeowners frequently notice water entering where the floor and the wall meet, called the cove, or through cracks in the wall. The concrete itself can also start to leak, although typically before that happens Grand Island homeowners will notice problem signs like efflorescence or mold first. This water intrusion is more than frustrating, as it can lead to health problems for your family and weakens the structural integrity of your home.
Our experts see this type of foundation problem every day and can quickly assess the situation and offer solutions to restore your home. An interior drainage system can be installed throughout the perimeter of your basement. This unique plastic drain accepts both groundwater and water leaking from walls and will never rust or break down. Once installed the floor is resealed, allowing a small lip to be the only reminder your basement is protected. This interior drain then ties into one of our revolutionary sump pumps. Depending on the severity of your water problem, you’ll work with your inspector to select the right sump pump for your basement. Additionally, products like a wall covering or an energy-efficient dehumidifier can be installed for ultimate protection.

Concrete Lifting
The concrete slabs surrounding your Grand Island property sink for the same reason your foundation is prone to sinking—the soil conditions and climate. When the sandy silt-loam soil washes out beneath your slab you’ll see immediate problem signs. Gaps or uneven, shifting slabs will appear in the sidewalk or driveway areas. A location where uneven concrete is especially troublesome is around a pool. Although it may not seem as major of a problem as a sinking home, concrete slabs left untreated steal value from your home and put the safety of your loved ones at risk.
Groundworks’ SettleStop PolyRenewal™ injection foam is the perfect concrete lifting and stabilizing solution for your Grand Island area home. This revolutionary product perfectly lifts slabs by injecting the foam beneath the slab. It slowly restores slabs to their original position while ensuring a long-term solution. SettleStop PolyRenewal™ is waterproof, so it won’t wash out, and with a cure time of about 20 minutes, there is little disruption to your home and family.
