"In October we contacted Groundwork’s for a home inspection of the foundation. We were contacted by Darren Breen. We explained to him our concerns and after his inspection, he explained our options, We decided that our best option was foundation stabilization. Darren explained this procedure to us in detail and a date for this job to be done was set up for February. In late November we were advised the necessary City permits has been obtained and the job could be started December. We were contacted by Amanda, project manager advising the date the work crew would be arriving and the project would be completed in two days, as advised the crew arrived on the assigned date. The crew was courteous and professional they answered any questions my wife and I had. The projected as stated was completed in two days. The crew did a good job cleaning up when the project was completed. Everyone that we had contact with from Groundworks were very professional and kept us apprised of everything that was being done. It was a pleasure doing business with all involved, A Job Well Done"

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Los Gatos

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. This often results from poor ventilation or water seepage.

Poor Drainage

Inadequate drainage systems can cause water to accumulate around the foundation, leading to water infiltration and increased moisture levels in the crawl space.

Open Crawl Space Vents

Open vents allow outside air and moisture to enter the crawl space, which can lead to condensation, mold growth, and pest infestations.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in the foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your home by allowing water infiltration, which can lead to further deterioration and instability.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive measures to protect your crawl space and maintain the overall health of your home.
