Why your neighbors trust Groundworks

We've earned 1,050 five star reviews.

"When everything goes right, it’s easy to get 5/5 stars. But the place really proves itself when things start rocky. I would give 6 stars specifically to the management team, if I could. We just finished the job of leveling and resealing our concrete pool deck. The result is even better than I dared to imagine. NICK and his crew did an outstanding job and cared for every detail. Extremely happy with our pick and based on the interaction so far I KNOW that if something comes up down the line, they will not let me down. Engage with confidence, whatever they charge, they are worth it."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Cape May

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
