Groundworks Provides Professional Sioux City Foundation Repair, Basement Waterproofing, and More
Situated near the northwestern part of Iowa, Sioux City is located in both Woodbury and Plymouth counties, with the majority of the city being in Woodbury County. “Siouxland” refers to Sioux City and the surrounding areas of northwestern Iowa, northeastern Nebraska, and southeastern South Dakota and is a term of endearment amongst local residents.
Situated at the furthest upstream point of the Missouri River, Sioux City is both a travel destination as well as a peaceful area to live. With an average annual rainfall of nearly 26 inches, it is slightly below the national average. However, it’s the fact that more than 60 percent of that rain falls during the summer months when humidity levels often reach 90 percent, that’s the problem. Add in the annual 30 plus inches of snow, and it’s no wonder Sioux City homeowners deal with wet basements and crawl spaces nearly year-round.
The area’s soil differs depending on where you live in Woodbury or Plymouth County. Most soil is silt loam-based with varying levels of clay. The soil across the region also has different degrees of drainage, ranging from well-drained to poorly-drained. To sum it up, homeowners in Sioux City can experience several different types of foundation problems because the soil conditions differ considerably from area to area.

We had 3 different crews (John, Alan & Lers) on our project and each of them were professional, knowledgeable and timely. They explained what to expect, prepared the areas, and cleaned up afterwards. I wish we had more construction companies that provided this type of excellent service. Highly recommend!

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.

Sales rep: Shane/Joe Crew: Diego & Jessie Shane and Joe were great to work with. A day after Shane's visit I changed my mind about doing the driveway and added some work to the backyard patio instead. Diego and Jessie did a good job raising some of the shovel catches along some of the sidewalk sections. They also filled a big void under the front door steps. They filled the big cracks along the rear garage foundation and along the backyard patio too. They also cleaned up after themselves after the job was completed. I am very satisfied with their work and my experience working with them.

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.

I have been working with Groundworks for a few years now to correct some basement issues and they continuously provide me with the best service and quality. I just had Mel, Martin, and Lalo complete a water proofing job and they were GREAT! The work is wonderful. They left the place completely clean and Mel communicated with me all through the process making sure everything would come to a smooth close. Thanks!

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.

I first contacted Groundworks because I had a smell in my basement that I was pretty sure was wet/dampness related. It was the first smell to hit my nose when I opened the door. It was embarassing. I called Groundworks to see if they might have a solution. Warren came to do the initial inspection. He discovered that a pipe was broken in my crawlspace & recommended that I have a plumber come to fix it. The smell noticeably subsided after it was fixed. I had already decided that I would proceed with Warren's recommendations (waterproofing, installation of a sump pump & adding a dehumidifier) because I wanted the 'old basement' smell gone. The team (Ler, Htoo, EhTee & TaMla) that came to do the work were exceptional, imo. Ler let me know that the job might run over the original planned 2 days as there was some additional work because of the concrete was poured. He said they would try to get it in two, but he wanted to make me aware. He was very informative, asking me to take a look before their meal break & prior to leaving before the day so I could ask any questions. Very good communication skills. I would highly recommend Groundworks & this team that worked with me. Thank you!
