"Had Groundworks install a drainage system and sump pump in our home’s crawl space. Anthony and his crew, Jordon, Uriel, and James were Outstanding. It was a three day job. They were on time every day and worked their tails off each day. It was a muddy job in cramped quarters. They never complained. Anthony kept me updated on the progress they made each day. Anthony shared pictures of the job as it progressed. They cleaned up the job site each day. Anthony went over all the details at the completion of the job and answered all of my questions. The whole process was Great. From the initial inspection done by Kristy to the office staff and the installation. The communication was also Great. I highly recommend Groundworks for a complete and thorough job."
"Andy went above and beyond to complete my kitchen and bathroom remodel. Even when we discovered mold in the subfloor from a leak he quickly got the plumbers out to fix the leak and coordinate with my homeowners insurance to start a claim. I would highly recommend hiring him."
"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"
"I strongly recommend this company with a family owned business.
I enjoy working with the office with Lucas, my designer and Esteban the installer that was communicate with me through the whole process make sure that everything is accurate through out the job
professional and really feel like a family
The quality was great and I felt good to leave my house, knowing that I have direct installers working in this company.
Was done on time"
"The two men that came were professional they worked well together everything went smoothly they kept us informed of their progress on the job I would highly recommend this company"
"The company's field repr. (whose name unfortunately I have forgotten) met me at the property on time and prepared. He gave me about an hour of his time and expertise for NO Charge - during which he viewed the problems with my mobile home and attached, unpermitted deck (a slow slipping and separating between the home and the deck.) He explained his company's policies and procedures, including the advisement that we'd want to hire an independent structural engineer to perform a thorough analysis of the loads and existing (substandard) bracing and supports, and render an opinion and a "prescription" for Terra Firma to work against as to components required to cure the problems. It all seemed very logical, well-thought-out and professional. It turned out that my wife and I decided the scope of the work required and the time to accomplish it went beyond our time frame to secure a habitable dwelling so we went no farther. But, if our situation had been different, I feel confident we'd very happily hire Terra Firma to handle the entire project."
You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.
Yes, if you live in a climate with extended periods of frost or snow, it’s best to winterize the sink and avoid potential bursting. Similar to winterizing a garden hose, turn off your water from the source. Once turned off, open the faucet so the remaining water completely drains out. You can also pour a small amount of antifreeze down the sink drain so any trapped water won’t freeze.
Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.
The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.
Recaulk your toilet at least every five years. If you feel like your toilet is getting wobbly before that, it still might be time for a new caulking. Never directly place new caulk over existing caulk because that doesn’t produce lasting results. Also, caulking over existing moldy caulk does not kill out the mold by suffocating it, so if you have mold, be sure to get rid of it before recaulking.
