"Excellent support and work. Mario and Mariana did great job with the initial job. At my request, Acculevel come back for additional work and they did so in a very timely manner. Was in the process of preparing my home for putting on the market and they expedited my repair, which was a blessing. Would hire again, for sure."
"Honest and trustworthy advice regarding cracks in walls and huge cracks in soil near foundation. Found to not be foundation issue, but because of there honest assessment I would call them or recommend family to call for any foundation issues."
"Brandon and Matt did a fantastic job repairing and leveling several cracks in the sidewalk in front of my business. They were prompt, professional, and thorough. I couldn?t be more pleased. I highly recommend Groundworks and would definitely use them again."
"The guys showed up when they said they would. They were courteous and got the air vents cleaned in a timely manner. They also did a termite inspection and recommended treatment. Thanks guys. Great job!"
"They were responsive to every call, did the work professionally and cleaned up nicely. We would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. We had two leaning columns in the back yard that are now straight and piered so they will never shift again. They then removed a large area of cracked cement and relayed. It looks fantastic! "
"We had 1 issue after installation and they came out right away & fixed it. Great attitudes and were on time as scheduled. Very professional crew. We had just remodeled the basement for 1100 sq ft living space to be added to the home, so I didn’t expect the basement to be such a mess afterwards, so would recommend them emphasize that the client will be cleaning all that up after the install. Very messy after the foundation was dug up around the whole inside perimeter. We still haven’t had the money to replace the new flooring that was pulled up. I should have paid more attention to the contract. That’s on me, not them."
"Provider called at about 8pm the night before to cancel a Monday appointment. Granted, this was during a rough winter, but a little more advanced notice would have helped. Seemed to do a nice, thorough job on the air ducts, however the deal was for a fixed number of supplies & returns. I had fewer supplies, but more returns, so I was charged a surcharge for each additional return, even though they were shorter than most of my supplies. Could have done a better job cleaning up dirt and dust that accumulated on my floors around the vents that had piled up during the vacuuming. Staff was very nice. All and all pretty good though, would probably use again. My vents were filthy and now they are not. "

Homeowners insurance doesn’t usually cover a sinking foundation. While insurance will cover some kinds of foundation damage, coverage is usually limited to damage from natural disasters, fire, or impact. Foundation sinking is rarely covered by insurance, so it’s a good idea to make repairs early on to avoid costly problems in the future.
While a contractor is on-site repairing your concrete steps, you can have them inspect other concrete surfaces for minor damage. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor during the same visit. You can also ask them to check your home's foundation for minor issues they can address. However, general concrete repair experts typically cannot handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation. For major structural projects, you will need to hire a structural engineer.
You can use a level or straight-edge to test for plumb foundation walls and a level slab, a level or a ball to check for sloping floors inside your home, and a hygrometer to look for moisture in your underhome area. Aside from these DIY tests, it’s important to get a foundation repair specialist or structural engineer to test the foundation to see if it’s supporting your structure properly. They can determine if the loads on the concrete are uneven or need reinforcement.
Barring extreme home foundation problems, most horizontal foundation cracks are fixable using one or more methods. Most of the repair methods require professional expertise to accomplish, and include plate anchors, steel reinforcement, soil anchors, reconstruction, or carbon fiber strip applications. Contacting a professional to diagnose the problem early can minimize repair expenses.
Visible cracks, scaling, flaking, and uneven surfaces indicate a bad concrete job. Additional signs vary depending on the project. You may notice poor drainage or even exposed rebar. Quality issues result from using the wrong concrete, rushing the work, or inexperienced workers completing the job.
