Part one of a two part foundation project Recently we had…read moreour house foundation repaired by Groundworks out of Fairfield. One bedroom had sunk by almost 5 inches as that part of the house had been built on fill. In order to restore the house to it's proper level numerous foundation jacks and floor leveling screw jacks were required. In addition some landscaping bushes and pvc sprinkler pipes had to temporarily removed. Groundworks had informed me prior to starting work what would be required to successfully complete this project and had my full approval. The house is now level, the doors no longer swing on their own and the interior cracks between the walls and ceiling joints no longer exist. Prior to the crew leaving the yard was cleaned up and the pvc pipes replaced. Best of all Groundworks will come back annually to the next 5 years and make any necessary adjustments. The Groundworks crew that made this happen was Andrew, the site supervisor, Charlie and Allen. Their performance and daily communication was superior on all levels. This is part 2. The Groundworks Poly crew of Anthony & Brian were very fast and efficient in completing their part of the foundation repair contract which was to level our family room slab floor. Fast, yes, but Anthony did take the time to not only explain what they were going to do but also walked me through the process as they were working. I have no problem in recommending them & Groundworks to other home owners who need to have their foundation repaired.

I cannot say enough good things about Kent! He has helped us with the most important purchases…read morewe've made and with one of the most important things for our family (safety). While on the market for a house, our realtor contacted Kent for several verbal inspections. On one property that we were interested in making a bid on, we weren't sure if we needed a structural inspection because the house appeared well maintained and the lot was very flat. However, Kent came and told us this house would likely fall apart in a big earthquake, because it appeared never to have had any seismic retrofits since it was built 100 years ago. Bringing it up to current safety standards would likely be a huge project costing around $400k. We avoided a real lemon! Before making an offer on our current house, Kent also came. This house was in bad shape with a lot of deferred maintenance and borderline in a yellow zone on the Kropp map. However, Kent told us that the foundation looked good, seismic retrofits had been done probably in the last 20 years (so no further work was needed), and it was probably on bedrock. Sure enough, when we were replacing sewer laterals, the crew confirmed his evaluation (it was very difficult to dig and they had to drill a lot). At the same visit, we mentioned that we were going to see another house that just listed, which was more move-in ready. Kent advised us (free of charge!) that he already inspected that house and to avoid it completely. It was in a landslide zone and had already encroached into the neighbor's lot! That saved us a lot of time! Recently, I contacted Kent to evaluate our detached garage for seismic retrofitting, which to our knowledge had never been retrofitted since it was built about 100 years ago. Kent came for a site visit and wrote up a short report. He noticed that some of the concrete around the pillars looked newer and encouraged us to look through old permitting archives. When we did this and sent him the microfiche files from the early 1990's, he told us that indeed seismic retrofitting was done then and we didn't need to update it! Saved us probably around $30k!
