We needed the driveway expanded and a professional style basketball goal base mount installed to create a home basketball practice court. One corner of the driveway near the street had been previously cracked and was sinking from apparently some heavy truck driving onto it sometime in the past. We also wanted a concrete pad to store multiple trash cans and recycle bins on next to the garage with a drainpipe from the gutters running underneath. Mike did all of the work himself and usually "over engineers" the work (which is a good thing) by using heavier rebar and higher pressure concrete than the minimum so his work lasts. Mike dug out the yard for the forms, moved the sprinkler heads of the irrigation system, drilled and tied the rebar into the existing concrete and foundation and poured the concrete itself after the base was in. There is no doubt in my mind that this concrete work is going to last for many, many years. Mike provides a 10 year warranty on all of his work, which is one of the reasons he prefers to use heavier materials in insure his work lasts without problems. All of the work looks great. Since Mike is hands on with every job, don't look for him to be there at the crack of dawn daily as he has other jobs to bid and work on, but he does get the work done, so relax. Mike is a personable, honest professional that can be trusted to get the work done at the agreed upon price and goes out of his way to be helpful.

Well come to find out I decided before having flooring put in to have foundation company come out to double check and I had two companies come out to double check and sure enough there was not just normal settling. So now $6,500 later of fixing the foundation I'm not the happiest camper. He doesn't use equipment to test to see if there are low or high spots with the foundation like a prior home inspection company used to determine if problems with foundation. He said you can tell by looking at the rafters but clearly that isn't full proof. Also when my electrician came out he pointed electrical wiring out to me and asked if that was brought up in the home inspection which I just checked and it wasn't. Outside of these things mainly the foundation I would've rate an A but a very expensive wrong opinion and never recommended to me in having foundation company do inspection.

"Working with Groundworks was wonderful from start to finish. It began with their sales team, Rich G, ensuring my old, quirky home had a customized and thorough solution, phased out to make the job more approachable. Rich took the time to understand my goals for the project and the nuances of my house even though that took significant time and multiple trips to my home. The installation crew (Jose N., Phil S., Diego A.) was professional, prompt and answered ALL of my questions. Their communication kept me informed every step of the way! When the job was completed, it looked like they had never been here - the yard and landscaping look untouched. I would definitely recommend Groundworks for anyone who needs to have their foundation worked on!"

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.
According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.
Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.
Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.
