"Elijah performed the estimate, took measurements, planned how to run hoses, etc. He did a great job explaining the process they use. I felt like I had a new friend when he left. After getting another quote to make sure Groundworks was in the ballpark on cost, I went with Groundworks. After completing paperwork and paying a reasonable deposit, two technicians showed up promptly to do the work. They were great as well. There was an opening from under the patio slab to under the house slab were the back door opened onto the patio and some foam got under the house slab and was raised just enough to interfere with the door frame squareness. They helped me to make corrections which included making a hole inside the back door and adding enough foam to bring the door frame square. Luckily the house slab had nothing on it as I intend to tile later in the job. I highly recommend Groundworks."
"This is a great company to use in making a 141 year old basement waterproof. I look foreward to having a waterproo basemant. Craig was pleasant and went the extra mile to make the experience great."
"Our crawl space was an absolute wreck. We did an entire house renovation several years ago, but I've never seen a transformation like what Kyle, Chet, and Jake performed today when they encapsulated underneath my house. Not only does the work look impeccable, they even showed up 2 days early after finishing another job to get a jump on my project. They were on time, and worked the entire day. I don't think they even took a lunch break. The customer service was great too. Anytime I approached them with a question or request, they would take off their masks and lights, and I would tell them "Man you don't have to do all that.", they would respond with "No. It's ok. We always have time for the customer.". They were extremely polite and informative about what was happening. This is a great company with great employees who care about the work they're doing. That is hard to find these days. If I ever need another service that they provide, I won't hesitate to hire Redeemers Group. It was definitely a 5 star experience. Thank You!"
"Project went great. Phillip King and Jamaal are the ones that installed our system and they were extremely professional and knowledgeable about everything. Not only did they do a great job, but they also took the leftover dirt and filled up the potholes in my yard! These guys are great and their waterproofing system is way better/cheaper than having to dig up your yard and put an underground liner on your house. A+ A+ A+"
"Travis' roofing team showed up early and got to work. The job went quickly and professionally. The roofers were careful to clean up everything before they left. They really did a good job I had another roofer come and inspect their work and he said everything was done correctly to uphold the shingles factory warranty. Apparently many roofers cut cost by using an inferior top shingle for the ridge causing the shingle's warranty to be void. I would use Duraplex roofing in the future. "
"Noah is easy to work with and kept me in the loop throughout the project with good communication. They do a great job for a good price and made sure to clean up everything. I would definitely recommend him for getting this kind of work done."
"I've never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient business in my entire life. These guys are on their game. Above and beyond in every possible way! The price was very fair."
"They did a great job.. I had a lot of big trees hanging over my house They brought the bucket truck in and got it done very fast and professionally. Very polite workers"
"All went well. Company worked quickly and efficiently. I received a bid on Thursday, I accepted the bid the next Tuesday, work began the next day and was completed in two days. Owner and employees were very easy to talk to and work with."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.
While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.
Standing water under your house can threaten its structural integrity. If water pools in your crawl space, it can damage the foundation and the structure above ground, causing wood rot, mold, and other problems. If you have a concrete foundation, standing water under your house can also make your foundation slabs crack.
If you decide to fill the space around your home’s foundation with landscaping materials, it’s important to consider the aesthetic as well as technical factors like drainage and protection from pests and the elements. Materials such as gravel, rubber mulch, concrete, and brick masonry are all good options.
The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.
