1. Groundworks
Based in South Plainfield, NJ, Groundworks works as a foundation repair company. A team of 100, the business has been operating for 22 years. Most foundation trouble comes from soil movement, whether from clay that swells and shrinks, poor drainage, or fill soil that compresses over time. Repairs tend to hold up longer when drainage issues are addressed too, so water stops softening the soil under the house. On their profile, Groundworks lists existing foundation: crawl space, full basement, slab on grade and pile and grinder; property type: residential and commercial. Groundworks is also listed for home inspection. Bowing basement walls, leaning chimneys, and cracks wider at one end than the other suggest structural movement that should be looked at. Share photos of interior and exterior cracks, sticking doors, and sloping floors, along with the age of the home and its foundation type if known. The number of piers or supports needed, foundation type, soil conditions, and access around the house are the major factors in foundation repair pricing.
