"Groundworks saved my home. I recently bought my family's first house. I was devastated to learn that there was a ton of undisclosed damage to the foundation. I scheduled a free consultation and inspection with Groundworks. Jonathan came out for that, and really took his time to review the damage and make sure my home would get the support it needed. He found parts of my home were sunk into the ground over two inches. It was a big job. It was a huge relief to know that we did not need to leave the house or get a hotel room for the duration of the construction. Jordan and Joshua did the digging and peir installation. They were super professional, punctual, and communicative. They explained everything they were doing as they were doing it, and answered any questions I had. When I thought they were going to take the day off due to poor weather, they still showed up at 7:30am with panchos on, ready to work in the rain. These guys were efficient. After the house had been lifted, it was time to stitch some cracks and inject foam into the concrete slab. Alex and Manny came into the house for that second portion of the job. Again, these two were professional, punctual, communicative, and just very straightforward. This house is the biggest purchase i'll ever make, and the livelihood of my entire family is riding on the integrity of the foundation. All these men treated this situation with the same gravity as I do. It was as serious to them as it is to me. You can't ask for better service than that. I'm so grateful for Jonathan, Jordan, Joshua, Alex, Manny, and the whole Groundworks crew. Thank you all so much. -Mike from Antioch"

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Sacramento

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
