"In early 2025, I watched the series of videos put out by Mike Rowe on his Youtube channel where he accompanied a Groundworks team on a jobsite and then interviewed Matt Malone, Groundworks' founder. Those videos encouraged me to put Groundworks on my contact list because I knew we would eventually contract them to help us with water and foundation issues for our raised foundation home in southern California. I first met with DALTEN in December 2025 to discuss our areas of concern and receive his inspection. He spent literally hours thoroughly measuring and documenting our home's underbelly before coming to the table to meet with me over his tablet device on which he recorded all the information we needed to make an informed decision in the approach to repairs. Their balanced use of technology and face-to-face discussion was exactly what was needed to effectively communicate with us about the whole process. We signed on that evening to schedule the work. I scheduled with them to start in January 2026. The Groundworks system emailed and texted with me to keep me updated on time of arrival and what to expect throughout the project. On the first day, ROGER, JUAN, and JORGE came to our property right on time and were ready to go within minutes, fully suited up for their mission under our house. Roger projected 4 or 4.5 days for the job completion and he stuck to that; they began Monday and ended Thursday. Dalten and Roger worked to ensure our plan was both achievable and met the engineer's specifications with respect to the leveling beam installation. A modification was made on the fly to rework some of our trenching and the change was easily conducted electronically between the team and me. Roger discussed everything at the end with me over the phone since I was away. He also sent me photos of the finished product. After talking to Jorge, I decided to go under the house with him and Juan for a brief period so he could show me where future electrical would be needed to properly connect the pumps they installed. They were courteous to show me how to safely get into the crawl space and then how to exit. Finally, the guys went above and beyond by informing me about a leak point coming from one of our bathrooms and made recommendations for services outside the scope of their work based on what would be best for us. I cannot praise the Groundworks team enough, a really solid bunch of people who are doing home repair the right way. Thank you guys!"
Common Causes of your Driveway Problems in Pasadena
Wondering why driveways in this area tend to develop cracks or uneven surfaces over time? The answer often lies beneath the surface, where the interplay between soil and moisture creates underlying issues. In Pasadena, the local environment plays a crucial role in this process. The soil in the region can expand and contract with changes in moisture, a process known as soil heave, which poses a significant risk to concrete structures like driveways. When the dry season transitions into wet periods, the soil absorbs water and expands, putting additional pressure on any surface above it. Conversely, during drier spells, the soil can shrink, leading to settling and potential voids under your driveway.
These fluctuations can lead to stress on the concrete, causing unsightly cracks and uneven surfaces. In some cases, water drainage issues exacerbate these problems, as pooling water can further weaken the soil and increase erosion. Many homes in this area experience sticking doors, cracks, or water pooling, which can be early warning signs of a shifting foundation. Addressing these issues early can help maintain the stability of your driveway and prevent more extensive damage. By understanding the local geologic and environmental conditions, you can take proactive measures to ensure the longevity and safety of your driveway.
