Services We Provide

Crawl space mold, basement water seepage, foundation settlement, and other problems in your Northwest Washington home can be a nightmare, especially if they threaten your family’s safety.

Property damage is common in this area because of the unique geological and environmental conditions in this part of the world, including:

  • Expansive clay soils: The region’s soils, particularly in areas like the Puget Sound, are known for their high clay content, which can expand and contract significantly with moisture changes
  • Heavy rainfall and snowfall: Northwest Washington experiences substantial rainfall, with annual precipitation averaging around 37 inches.
  • Freeze-thaw cycles: The region’s climate includes freeze-thaw cycles that can cause soil movement and affect the stability of foundations

You don’t have to tackle these issues alone. With an experienced professional by your side, you can improve the safety and stability of your home and prevent more expensive repairs in the future.

Groundworks specializes in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting and leveling for homeowners in Northwest Washington and North Puget Sound. No job is too big or too small for our team.

Chris Hayes broke down everything single step for me. His attention to detail and the fact that he cared so much, he explained the good, the bad the ugly. He was outstanding.

“The project was top notch. Robert and Jordan consistently showed up on time. Final project turned out great!”

Daniel and his team came and completely explained how the job would go, sent me pictures from under the house as the job progressed. Took me under the house at the end to show it all to me and explain in detail the pump I have. He even rebuilt the entry door area and made it look wonderful. I’m very pleased with the results.

They were responsive to my questions before and during the work. I was told it would take 3 days, but they finished in 2! They arrived at the appointed times and got to work. They were attentive of my furnishings and my plants outdoors. They left things fairly clean. I had some sweeping to do to clean up bits of jack-hammered concrete. Haven’t had much rain since they finished, but they tested the system before they left, so I have confidence that we will stay dry from now on!

Completely satisfied with this company. Work was performed by Mkona, Robert & Johnny. They did a terrific job cleaning out my crawl space, installing drainage system, sump pump and black poly liner over the dirt floor. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again – they were the best!
