Why your neighbors trust Groundworks
We've earned 25 five star reviews.
"We met Groundworks at a local home show and was impressed with their video presentation about concrete leveling. We made an appointment for a estimate. Their rep, David Silverman showed up on time and was a very pleasant person to work with. He was professional and very knowledgeable about the process. After a thorough inspection of our patio he provided a detailed drawing and explanation of what needed to be done to fix our sunken section of the patio. We ended up signing a contract with Groundworks, Thanks David."
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.
