History

In 2010, Yellowstone Structural Systems was founded by local Montanans Jesse and Sara Scott. Starting with just two employees, Jesse saw a need for happier, more genuine customer experiences in the foundation repair industry, which created the foundational elements that make the company what it is today. In 2024, YSS joined forces with Groundworks, North America’s leading foundation repair company. Yellowstone Structural Systems is a BBB accredited business and will continue to service Montana and Wyoming homeowners under the Groundworks name.

Services We Provide

Protect your Montana home from water damage and foundation issues with Groundworks expert waterproofing and concrete repair solutions.

Living in Montana’s rugged terrain and unpredictable climate comes with unique challenges for homeowners, especially when it comes to protecting your home’s foundation and basement. From water seepage to concrete damage, these issues can compromise your home’s safety and value.

Montana’s diverse environment brings specific challenges to homeowners, including:

Expansive clay soils: Found in areas across Montana, these soils expand and contract with changing moisture levels, leading to foundation stress and cracking.
Heavy snowfall and snowmelt: Montana winters can pile up significant snow, which, when melted, often leads to basement water issues.
Freeze-thaw cycles: Montana’s harsh winters and frequent freeze-thaw cycles can cause soil movement and cracks in concrete surfaces.

You don’t have to face these problems alone. With professional expertise on your side, you can protect your home, enhance its safety, and avoid costly repairs down the road.

Reviews from your Neighbors

These guys are a class act. The two men who came to review our situation and give us a bid were very professional and reassuring! The man that came to do the work yesterday was equally professional and competent! I am really impressed with the company and what they do. Highly recommend them to anyone with structural issues!

James Taylor

Ben did an incredible job! Thank you so much Ben! I let neighbors know about Yellowstone and hopefully they will be in touch soon. 🙂

Susan “Suzi” Anderson

Super impressed with this company. Rich gave me a very in-depth opinion of our situation. A lesser man/company could have led me down a very expensive path which would have made no more difference than his much less expensive route. I will definitely use this company again if I ever need, and highly recommend them to anyone.

John Pearson

The folks at Yellowstone Structural Systems were top-notch professionals to work with on our recent residential concrete coating project. They were very communicative during the complete process and addressed our concerns in a timely and responsive manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them in the future or refer them to family and friends. The coatings look great!

Matthew Granberg

My basement floor came out great after the guys filled all the divots and cracks, and then applied a bulletproof base and topcoat. I’m very pleased with the results as well as competitive price and great service. I’d recommend to anyone.

Mike fallaw

Wonderful to work with from start to finish. I had a unique situation and they had unique solutions to offer. I never at any point felt like I was being oversold, communication was excellent, and the work itself was done with obvious skill by obvious pros efficiently and with good cheer.

Ryan Hammon

Yellowstone Structural Systems completed a very thorough job on my mom’s basement. It is now dry and sealed. The plan for eliminating water around the foundation was excellent and we are very relieved it is completed. No more worries about leaks and water damage!

Kathy

I thought that YSS did a great job providing literature explaining how the stabilization process works. Also in what situations you use either push piers or helical piers. Or both of them. I believe that you get what you pay for, so I was glad I went with Yellowstone Structural Systems.

Bob Lanoue

Professional, from the assessment of our needs to the work that was done. We are very pleased.

Robert Nelson

The crew was punctual and very respectful of our property! We are very happy with the service and project outcome!
