AI-Powered Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing in Papillion, NE
Groundworks, foundation solutions crafted with pride
A continental climate means Papillion, Nebraska, experiences warm summers and cold winters with moderate rainfall mainly concentrated in the warmer months. Although this creates a lovely environment for work and play, the extreme temperatures changes, and condensed rainfall timeline, leaves many wet properties across Papillion.
The climate alone would be enough to cause concern for homeowners with basements and crawl spaces, but combined with the fine sandy loamy soil, your home’s foundation can also be at risk. Sandy loam soil is prone to washout leaving your home and your concrete slabs without the proper support. This causes your home to settle, leading to additional problems like cracked brickwork, sticking doors and windows, and uneven floors.
Since waterproofing, foundation, and concrete repair are all common concerns in the Papillion area, it’s a good thing Groundworks has been restoring homeowner’s foundations for more than 30 years. In that time they have seen it all, nothing surprises these professionals and there is no job too big. We offer free, no-obligation foundation inspections to educate you on your home’s needs. Our solutions come with long-term warranties and financing options are available. Contact Groundworks to schedule your free inspection.

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!

Sergio Robles was extremely thorough in his explanation of what the assessment of the foundation was going to be like, how long it was going to take to review, and then the presentation of options and how things work or get fixed. I could tell he enjoys his position with the company and meeting with people to let them know how Groundworks can remedy their foundation issues!

Way and Lu did a very fine job cleaning up the unacceptable work done by prior Ground works caulking crews. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a quality job! Even when the scheduler gave them only 2 hours to do a job that I said would take 4 hours. They stayed way past normal quitting time to do the job completely and with highest quality! Oh by the way it did take 4.5 hours!!

I had Jakob and another tech out today to level up 4 separate spots where the concrete was uneven. They did a fantastic job! I am very picky about having any type of work done and I was thoroughly pleased with the work that they did as well as the clean up. It looks great and I should have had the work done years ago. I would highly recommend groundworks! Justin Vavra – Omaha

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!

We recently asked Groundworks to look at the water seepage issue which had developed in our basement. Christopher George met with us and recommended that we have a basement waterproofing/drainage system installed and also lift several sections of our driveway which were sloping toward the house. Chris was very knowledgeable and experienced and we felt his analysis of the issues and solutions provided were exactly what was needed. Rene and his team installed the waterproofing/drainage system and did an outstanding job. The team worked quickly and efficiently and completed the job in one day. They were also very careful to keep the mess to a minimum. Ivan handled the concrete leveling of several sections of our driveway and, again, did an outstanding job. Every person with Groundworks with whom we had contact was very helpful and courteous. Dave A.

Foundation Repair in Papillion
It’s the previously mentioned Papillion sandy loam soil that causes the most foundation problems for homes in the area. Although the sandy loam soil drains well, meaning hydrostatic pressure isn’t a common problem, it’s foundation settlement that homeowners need to watch out for. Sandy soil has a tendency to wash out, and with the frequent summer rains that Papillion receives, settlement is definitely a cause for concern.
When the soil around your home washes out, your foundation is left without adequate support to bear the weight of the structure. Without this support, your home sinks until it meets resistance. Of course, the settlement isn’t even, meaning one side sinks lower than the other. This uneven movement causes the symptoms Papillion homeowners notice. Cracked foundation walls, sticking doors and windows, nail pops, tilting chimneys, and gaps around door and window frames are just a couple of signs a foundation problem is occurring.
Long gone are the days when homeowners had to go through the incredible hassle of foundation replacement to solve home settlement. The team at Groundworks offers several foundation pier options. Your inspector will do a full inspection and determine the correct pier for your unique home. All our piers bypass the problematic unstable soil that caused the original problem and transfer the weight of your home to the pier that is driven deep into stable soil. This type of solution insures your home will remain stable for years to come.
Foundation Repair Problem Signs
Papillion Basement Waterproofing
A flooded, smelly basement is a thorn in the side of many Papillion homeowners. Not only is it a mess to clean up, but it can also put the health of your foundation at risk. Mold, wood rot, and wall cracks are all too common issues for foundations that are not waterproofed. The warm weather summer months in Papillion also bring heavy rain, with three-fourths of the rainfall occurring during this time, if area homeowners don’t have an interior drain system, and usually, a sump pump, they are looking at a lot of clean up and mold growth.
Groundworks offers a clog-free interior drain that eliminates the need for messy exterior excavation and the best line-up of sump pumps available. Depending on your basement, and the amount of time it has been leaking, other products such as AquaStop WallSeal™ or an energy-efficient dehumidifier may be needed. Your Groundworks inspector will review his inspection findings and offer suggestions to keep your basement dry and clean permanently.
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Papillion
Similar to basement waterproofing, water in your crawl space is a huge mess and a massive headache. However, many Papillion homeowners never visit their crawl space, and any water there can be there for weeks or months until it is addressed. Especially during the summer months in Papillion, when rainfall is frequent, continuous water in the crawl space means mold, mildew, musty odors, and wood rot.
One of the main problems with water in the crawl space is even after it dries, the water vapor, or humidity, remains. Trapped inside, it adds to the mold and mildew problem, weakening the structural integrity of the supporting wood and putting your home’s foundation at risk.
Crawl space encapsulation is the best solution. Our high-quality 20-mil thick vapor barrier liner is sealed to walls and floors, enveloping the space and shutting it off from the outside world. Thermal insulation can be installed on the walls for additional energy savings, and drainage, like a specifically designed crawl space sump pump, is an excellent option.
Crawl Space Repair Solutions
Papillion Driveway & Patio Concrete Lifting
If the concrete slabs surrounding your home have sunk and are uneven, don’t panic. Luckily the slab itself is still redeemable, it’s the problematic soil beneath the slab that is no longer reliable. Sandy soil, like the kind most of Papillion deals with, easily washes out. Because of this, not only do you need a solution that will raise sunken slabs, but you also need an option that provides a material that won’t wash out.
SettleStop PolyRenewal™ is a two-part polyurethane foam that is injected under the slab. When the two parts mix, a foam is created that gently expands to fill the void under the slab and then slowly lifts the slab to its original position.
The reason PolyRenewal™ is the perfect choice for homeowners is because of its waterproof formula. This means once the slab has been lifted, the foam won’t wash out as the original soil did and like other older concrete lifting methods would.
