We recently bought our first home and after the first heavy rainstorms of the year, we found water in our basement. Jim Nesbitt came out to inspect our foundation and was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable.

We're had a really great experience and are glad to be using them. We had work done through another company a few years ago, which is not holding up well. (Our basement continues to smell musty sometimes.) We really liked the ability to schedule the appointment online and couldn't have asked for a better consultation with Keenan. We've been very pleased with the correspondences ahead of the work such as receiving the plans and permits. It's a lot of money to drop on something that isn't vital at the moment, but fully trust that these guys will get it done right and stand by their work.

I couldn’t be happier with the work Groundworks did leveling my garage. From start to finish, the entire process was professional, organized, and exceeded my expectations. A special thank you goes to Jason R. and Chad D. They were knowledgeable, hardworking, and took the time to explain everything they were doing throughout the project. Their attention to detail and pride in their work really showed, and they left the job site clean when they were finished. It’s not often you come across a crew that genuinely cares about doing the job right, but Jason and Chad absolutely do. If you’re considering Groundworks for foundation or concrete leveling work, I highly recommend them. Outstanding craftsmanship and excellent customer service!

Just have to say, in what could be one of the worst situations to find yourself, this process was made so much easier with the help of our awesome inspector Rana! She was beyond helpful, courteous, and went above and beyond to try and make everything work out for us. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything in great detail. She reviewed all our options and worked tirelessly with us to find the best possible solution. Not once did she ever make us feel that we were putting her out or wasting her time with our endless questions. Rana, you are the best!

How We Stabilize Your Basement
Our top-of-the-line products and installation practices for stabilizing walls and restoring structural integrity set us apart from the rest. Our commitment to customer service means we’ll make the process as pain-free as possible.
Permanently Stabilize Basement Walls
What We Do
Your walls are the first place to look for signs of foundation problems. Vertical cracks can show up in drywall, and stair-step cracks run down cinder block basement walls. Neither of these are purely cosmetic—they’re structural too. At FSM, stabilizing walls is the first thing we do to restore your home. Using tools personalized to your home, we anchor your walls into alignment and reinforce them to stand strong.
What We Use
Permanently Stabilize Perimeter Basement Foundation
What We Do
Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of the key areas contributing to the destabilization of your basement perimeter foundation. Through the strategic installation of piers, reinforcements, and expert engineering, we ensure a lasting and secure foundation for your home.
What We Use
We help protect everything you love, starting with your home’s foundation.

FAQs
Prevention measures include improving drainage around your home, installing a sump pump, and periodic inspections to catch early signs of bowing or cracking. Proper maintenance can go a long way in preventing future issues.
The duration for repair varies depending on the method used and the severity of the issue. Minor crack repairs can take a day or less, while more extensive bowing solutions could require several days.
A bowed wall can progressively worsen and eventually collapse if not addressed promptly. It’s essential to take immediate action to ensure the structural integrity of your home is not compromised.
