"Working with Matvey / Groundworks was excellent! Our Field Inspector Zac was thorough, knowledgeable and patient. He came to our house three different times to fully answer all of our questions before the work began. The day of the job, Alex, Luis and Kender arrived. They were great to work with as well as kept us informed about the minor changes they needed to make and why. We interviewed two other companies for this structural improvement / repair and are really happy we chose Matvey / Groundworks."
Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Seattle
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.
