Why your neighbors trust Groundworks

We've earned 25 five star reviews.

"Just wanted to say how extremely smooth this process was. I had my inspection with DJ, who was very knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions and concerns. He walked me through the whole process and we identified the areas of work. My living room floor was settling and we decided to provide additional support, along with the addition of a SumpPump. Fastforward two weeks…..Brian, Daniel, and Franco came to install and position the beams in place. They also filled any cracks that I had around the foundation of the house. The work was professional and clean. Brian and the team are top tier and did a great job walking me through the whole thing. If I need any additional work, Groundworks will be the first I call. Highly recommend them! Thanks!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Livingston

Expansive Soil

If your home is built on clay-heavy soil, it may expand when wet and shrink during dry spells. This constant movement puts pressure on your basement walls, potentially causing cracks and structural damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil movement, leading to cracks or water intrusion in your basement. Basement repair addresses these issues, protecting your home and ensuring a dry, stable space.

Hydrostatic Pressure

When water collects around your foundation, it creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes against your basement walls and floor. This pressure can lead to cracks, leaks, and water damage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Without proper drainage, water pools near your foundation instead of being directed away. This can seep into your basement, causing moisture problems and structural weakening.

Foundation Weaknesses

Over time, natural settling or construction issues can cause cracks in your foundation. These openings allow water to enter your basement, leading to further problems if not addressed.
