"We just experienced the absolute best dealing with Groundworks. From the initial inspection and estimate (Alan), to the prompt scheduling and confirmation of appointment the day before to the acknowledgement of ETA the morning of - every facet was top tier professional.
Toy and Joey arrived on the job at the appointed time and immediately assesed the situation with our sunken 8' x 10' driveway pad section. I had diligently researched mud jacking, demo and reconcrete/finishing and polyurethane foam pad lifting.
Wishing to keep the same color and finish after any repair, pad lifting seemed to be the best option. I have learned that pad lifting is an inexact science and succes or failure results in the ability of the technicians to "read" the concrete since composition of materials as well as the quality of the original pour must be factored in to know how much material (foam) should be applied and where to inject it so that cracking or over lifting can be avoided.
Not only was the job done to my satisfaction but it was done with no cracking of the surface and leveled to match the other pads. It was only after the job was completed that Toy and Joey casually mentioned that they finished a job last night after dark and over 75 miles from my location. Both gentleman were curteous, respectful of me and my property and were a joy to work with. If you are old enough to remember high quality customer service provided in "the old days" or have only heard about it, you will be highly pleased with Groundworks and their highly skilled technicians. And, as an aside, Groundworks estimate beat all the other forms of repair. We highly recommend this crew and this company!"
Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Ventura
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.
