I meet with Mike C. to obtain a quote to address water leakage into the basement from rain and foundation issues caused by years of water inundation. Also, to get a quote to seal up the crawl space. (The house has a half-basement.) He arrived early in a clean company vehicle and in uniform. Very pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and down-to-earth. His inspection of the areas of concern took some time because he was so very thorough. Once completed with the inspection, he presented various options, and we discussed each option. Seems his concern was more about what was best for my situation rather than profit. I really appreciated that. I predict the construction phase will be very good; based upon the interaction with Mike C.

We just had an inspection from BAWV. Caesar Goodman was on time for our appointment. He listened to our concerns and did the inspection right away. He went over the proposal to fix our problem step by step. We were impressed with his knowledge and the time he spent answering our questions. I would recommend him and BAWV without hesitation.

In February 2026, we contacted Groundwork’s with concerns about the stability of our home. Our floors were sagging, we had a large crack in our Living Room floor and hallway. We were also having trouble with mold and mildew. First, Groundwork’s Eric Reeder came to our home and inspected inside and out. Eric explained clearly what our structural issues were and how Groundwork’s could help. He also explained how crawl space encapsulation and a dehumidifier could help our mold and mildew problems. Eric was very professional and made us feel at ease. We were relieved that there were solutions to our homes issues. In March 2026, Joseph Bailey and his Groundwork’s team; Chris, Bryce and C.J. Basham came to install the needed structural support for our home, as well as encapsulating our crawl space and installing a dehumidifier. They were so professional, polite and friendly. Joseph patiently answered all of our questions, and explained about the work they would be performing. Joseph and his crew installed a floor support system in our crawl space to stop our floors from sagging, restoring stability to our home. They encapsulated our crawl space leaving it bright and clean. When the job was completed, Joseph and his team cleared all debris and left everything tidy. The work they performed has been such a relief. We have invested in the value of our home, and we are so glad we called Groundwork’s!

Highly recommend Groundworks. The installers, David Weaver, Brett Mullins, and Casey Pettigrew, were professional, courteous to my tenants, and respectful of my property. They even finished ahead of schedule! Excellent communication by the team as they worked on my basement, keeping me informed on status and timing. Price is more than fair; you get what you pay for. I wanted to hire a professional to do this the right way, and that’s what I got at Groundworks. I will definitely hire Groundworks again to fully encapsulate my basement later this year. Thanks!!
