Groundworks Provides Professional Sioux City Foundation Repair, Basement Waterproofing, and More

Situated near the northwestern part of Iowa, Sioux City is located in both Woodbury and Plymouth counties, with the majority of the city being in Woodbury County. “Siouxland” refers to Sioux City and the surrounding areas of northwestern Iowa, northeastern Nebraska, and southeastern South Dakota and is a term of endearment amongst local residents.

Situated at the furthest upstream point of the Missouri River, Sioux City is both a travel destination as well as a peaceful area to live. With an average annual rainfall of nearly 26 inches, it is slightly below the national average. However, it’s the fact that more than 60 percent of that rain falls during the summer months when humidity levels often reach 90 percent, that’s the problem. Add in the annual 30 plus inches of snow, and it’s no wonder Sioux City homeowners deal with wet basements and crawl spaces nearly year-round.

The area’s soil differs depending on where you live in Woodbury or Plymouth County. Most soil is silt loam-based with varying levels of clay. The soil across the region also has different degrees of drainage, ranging from well-drained to poorly-drained. To sum it up, homeowners in Sioux City can experience several different types of foundation problems because the soil conditions differ considerably from area to area.

Micah is awesome! A very great ambassador of the GroundWorks brand and a pleasure to have in our home. After our meeting, I have all the information I need to make an informed decision. He was extremely thorough, respectful, and knowledgeable about our foundation issue, and was able to communicate the options in a way that made sense. I loved our conversation and feel like he really knows what he's talking about. Thanks for sending him to help us with this issue! Highly recommend!

I had an appointment with Groundworks for an inspection of my foundation. Mike Lutmer did my inspection. Mike called me two days before my appointment and asked me about my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and took his time explaining my opinions. Thank you Mike. I'm looking forward to doing business with Groundworks.

We recently asked Groundworks to look at the water seepage issue which had developed in our basement. Christopher George met with us and recommended that we have a basement waterproofing/drainage system installed and also lift several sections of our driveway which were sloping toward the house. Chris was very knowledgeable and experienced and we felt his analysis of the issues and solutions provided were exactly what was needed. Rene and his team installed the waterproofing/drainage system and did an outstanding job. The team worked quickly and efficiently and completed the job in one day. They were also very careful to keep the mess to a minimum. Ivan handled the concrete leveling of several sections of our driveway and, again, did an outstanding job. Every person with Groundworks with whom we had contact was very helpful and courteous. Dave A.

Shane was on-time and very professional. He explained what he was doing and why in an easy to understand manner. After looking at our problem he made his reccomendation and didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary things (like some other well-known company that starts with a T).

My experience with groundworks has been very positive. Both the digging crew of Juan P, Lalo, and Stefan and the polyfoam crew of Ivan and Diego did a great job. Everyone was very respectful and professional and got the work completed quickly. My only complaint would be having the communication between the crews be a little bit better.

Absolutely could not be more impressed with the integrity, Thoroughness, and honesty I received from Mitchell at Groundworks. I have been seeing some water seepage through my poured foundation walls as well as cracks in the basement floor. I work 2 jobs and it’s difficult to make appointments where I can be home. Mitchell was more than willing to be here on a Saturday afternoon to fit my schedule. He was here over 1.5 hours inspecting, laser leveling, and checking everything he could. As much as I wanted answers, I was terrified to have the issues looked at due to financial constraints. As it turns out, I have some poor quality concrete and some minor cracking & settling going on. No immediate repairs needed. I feel like I can breathe easy again and am so so thankful for the thoroughness of Mitchell’s inspection and his honesty about what’s going on. I will continue to monitor the situation and if repairs are needed in the future, I will definitely have Groundworks out again. Definitely give these folks a try, they are fabulous.

Rene, Isaac, and Ramiro did a great job on my home! They informed me on every helio that got put down and let me know in detail about how they would do it and even showed me thorough out their process. If there were any concerns that popped up they informed me on it. They even gave me some pictures on how my foundation looked before they covered it up and fixed it. They had great communication with me and finished up their job within the day (it was thought to be finished by the next day)! They were fast and efficient at getting it done, thank you again!
