He was very thorough and spent much time in crawl space taking measurements and checking what will work best. When he was back at his truck, he put everything on paper with a drawing of the shape of house showing placement of dehumidifier. In a short time, he was able to give me a quote and said he would email me an official quote the next day. The quote was the best quote that I received from the three good local companies. I give Carlos Juez a 5 star plus because of his dedication to his customers and his willingness to crawl around in some dark, dirty and cramp crawlspaces.

We have already recommended them to a friend who hired them and is also very pleased.

In May 2023 we hired Dry Otter to encapsulate our crawl space, install a French drain, sump pump…read moreand a dehumidification system as we almost always had standing water under the house. We were very, very impressed with both the quality of work that Cory, Noah and Desmond provided but also with the customer service that was provided immediately after when we experienced an issue. The morning after they finished the work we awoke to no hot water and no air conditioning. We checked everything we knew to check on our end with no success. Then we call Dry Otter. Our thought at that point was that in doing the work under the house some wires to the other units had accidentally been pulled loose enough to cause problems but not loose enough to be noticed. They very quickly sent a team out to go back in and look. When their team couldn't find anything, they upped their game and called in an electrician. He was able to fix the issue with the hot water heater. That left the AC unit. It was still not working and it was hot outside. So, we called our HVAC guy that we have used for years. Our guy came out, found that problem quickly and fixed it. I went ahead and paid him, then called Dry Otter for reimbursement which they did very rapidly. So long story short, their customer service is great as well. Were they the cheapest of the 6 companies we got quotes from? No, they were about in the middle. But we were very impressed with them from the very beginning and were impressed all the way to the end.

Over the year we've lived in our new CLT house, we obtained 4 quotes to address drainage issues,…read moredescribed by the previous owner as a "little seepage with heavy rains" in the basement storage area, which turned out to be a "lot of seepage with moderate rains". Most of them suggested solutions that seemed to be wasted money, everything from blasting through the basement floor to create new drains, to replacing vapor barriers and sealing up the basement and crawl space, etc. Nick at Drain Designs Charlotte suggested instead a set of new drains to take downspout and runoff water away from the house to a back culvert. Made sense. Job completed a couple of weeks ago. After, we had a few light rains so the ground had some moisture a then a 2" steady rain - instead of water seeping in from all sides of the basement, there was a small trickle at one side. Then next day, around the corner with the trickel, I banked dirt against the house to slope away from the house towards the new drains Nick's team had installed. Next day we had a solid 1" of rain - a few drops entered at that corner. It's not perfect, but for an 85-year-old house, we're pretty darn pleased. We recommend Nick and Drain Designs.

As we were purchasing our dream home, we knew we needed to pay special attention to the crawlspace…read moredue to high levels of moisture, standing water, and the presence of mold. We knew the project was going to be challenging. However, we found a partner in Foundation Doctor, who was up for the challenge. We found them to be easy to work with as we were working out the bids/pricing, determining the differences between their proposal and the other 2 companies(nationally owned and WAY MORE costly). Michael was a PLEASURE to work with. Once onsite, Mason did an outstanding job coordinating the crew. His ability to keep everyone aligned and ensure smooth execution made a noticeable difference in the project's success. Mason demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout, communicating along the way regarding updates and issues found. Mason not only coordinated the crew with precision, ensuring tasks were completed efficiently and with a sense of urgency, but also guided the team through significant challenges posed by hard, rocky soil. Their proactive problem-solving and adaptability kept the project moving forward without delays. Mason's commitment to delivering top-quality work was evident in every detail, and their focus on excellence ensured our expectations were exceeded. Overall, Mason's efforts, along with "Q" showing up to give this project a shot of energy, had a direct impact on getting us across the finish line, maintaining high standards, and creating a positive experience for us, making them invaluable contributors to this project's success. I/we have no doubt we will recommend their services for anyone needing results bordering on "miracle" status. I'm sure we will sleep a little easier at night knowing our home is much safer thanks to Michael, Stephen, Jackie, Mason, Q, and the other superstars!

I wrongly assumed a company with Crawlspace in their name could repair structural issues (water…read moredamage to structural beams ). I was wrong, I described the issue and they came out to do the structural work. My floor was sloping as I told them before, during work and after the work. They said they had done all they could do. I had to hire a structural engineer to inspect their work. They came back and made a change to the work they did do. However, the structural engineer discovered the real issue with the slope was something else. In summary, this company should not be doing structural work and I would not hire them to do structural work. I don't believe their error was out of ignorance of their expertise but a desire to make a buck regardless Additionally the communication was amateurish. One hand didn't know what the other was doing. They scheduled some work but didn't inform me they they'd scheduled it. one guy would tell me something and the other man hadn't been kept informed.

I would not recommend using Groundworks in Belmont, North Carolina, for foundation or concrete…read morerepair services. After receiving a quote, taking pictures for 2 hours and paying our deposit, we waited 3 1/2 weeks for our scheduled concrete lifting repair. During the initial consultation, we were assured the repair would not be a problem. However, when the two technicians arrived, they spent about 15 minutes assessing the situation before leaving, stating they could not complete the job. What was even more frustrating was the lack of communication afterward. We spent the next 12 hours trying to reach someone at the local branch to discuss the issue and find a resolution for this much-needed repair. Despite repeatedly requesting a phone call, no one ever contacted us. Instead, all communication was handled through text messages. We were eventually informed that a waiver would be required, something that was never discussed during the consultation. At that point, we requested a full refund of our deposit. In all my years, I have never experienced such poor communication and customer service from a company. Based on our experience, I would encourage others to proceed with caution when considering Groundworks in Belmont, NC.
