About Groundworks

Groundworks is a big operation by the standards of this directory: a team of 100 and 24 years in business, serving Colorado Springs, CO. Its main category is house foundation repair, and it is also listed for home inspection.

The foundation types on the profile are crawl spaces, full basements, slab-on-grade foundations, and pile-supported foundations (the source lists this last one as "pile and grinder"). It works on residential and commercial buildings.

Colorado Springs sits on some of the most troublesome soil on the Front Range. Expansive clays swell when wet and shrink when dry, and that seasonal movement can crack basement walls, heave slabs and leave doors and windows out of square. Signs worth noting include stair-step cracks in block walls, horizontal cracks in poured walls, gaps between walls and ceilings, sticking doors, and floors that slope. Drainage is often part of the story too, since gutters that dump water next to the foundation and soil that slopes toward the house make movement worse.

Hours are long: 5:00 am to 9:00 pm on weekdays, 6:00 am to 9:00 pm on Saturday and 8:00 am to 9:00 pm on Sunday. When you contact Groundworks, describe the foundation type, where you see cracks or movement and how long you have noticed them, and take photos with a coin or tape measure for scale.
