After much thought and finally deciding to get my basement leaks fixed, I received an estimate from Tom Lyke at FSM. I felt confident in his experience, estimate and knowledge. My basement was repaired this week and it turned out great! Thank you to DeCovon, Sr., Martin H., Dewayne L., and Eddie S…hopefully I didn’t miss anyone. You guys were dedicated, professional and very hard working. Still amazed by you all!

I had an excellent experience with the Groundworks team. The technician (Mike), went above and beyond my expectations from start to finish. He was professional and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood the work being done and the future work I was signing up for to address the issues found in my basement. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and genuine commitment to doing the job right rather than rushing through it. Mike has vast work knowledge and truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend Groundworks, thank you for going the extra mile!

This was my second experience with them. The first waterproofing of an industrial building works perfectly for years now. We used to have massive floods after heavy summer rains. No more flooding! This time they did structural work to my home. They installed helical piers under a section that had no foundation. They added a beam across to support the piers and replaced rotted wood that they came across, as well. In the basement they installed waterproofing membrane and vertical steel beams along the wall. Looks good, we shall see if it stands the test of time.

Tim was very thorough and efficient. He was here on time, considerate of my privacy, even offering to help with moving some heavy items back into their original position. He explained what he had done and alerted me to possible changes in the foundation. I am more than satisfied with his demeanor and efforts. Ralland (Ron) Fortier

John Weidenbach was our inspector for basement waterproofing. We had gone through numerous contractors prior that did not solve the issue, but John went above and beyond to ensure our issue would be resolved. He was the best with communication and going the extra mile for EVERYTHING. Definitely would recommend.
