"Aaron Lenker add Corbin Gillichbauer of Groundworks leveled concrete walks around my corner lot in Montoursville Pa. They arrived around noon time and were finished about 5 1/2 hours later. They did their work very professionally. They did an excellent job. I would rate their work 5 of 5 stars."

"We had a longstanding problem with water in garage and basement. Hired Juggs masonry to redo asphault driveway which sloped toward garage door. We learned that the problem was more extensive with cracks in foundation and structural problems with concrete garage floor. James clearly explained the work that would be done, the exact steps and schedule, and the estimated cost. Juggs Masonry crew was professional, punctual, FAST and stood by cost estimates. We strongly recommend JuggsMasonry with no reservations, and we will hire them again in the future if necessary."

"Jeff repaired/ rebuilt our crumbling lake wall.Over a 4 day period he rebuilt our wall from lake bottom up using no mortar & fitted the stones to give a natural but safe border to our yard. Even put in a set of natural stone stairs so our older dog could safely access the lake. Jeff works hard & takes pride in his work & price was reasonable as well. We are very happy we went with AJ&J Excavating !"

Update: They did come back out and sealed around where the radon
fan goes into the basement floor. However, I also had an issue with the
underground connection outside. While they were good enough to connect
the pipe system to the downspout in that corner, they did so in a way
where it is not sealed. So some water gushes out and up right next to
the house. I have called three times about this, starting at least a
month ago. Twice they never got back to me. One time they did, asked
that I email a picture, which I did immediately. Then I never heard back
again. At this point, I give up and not going to waste time calling
them again. Ill try to deal with it myself.

There has also been a
few cracks in the cement they put down in the basement. Nothing major
though, but I didnt expect cracks within the first month or two.   They
also had a major crack during the work in one of the cement wall blocks
at floor level.  Its right behind where they put the wall guard thing so
its going to be difficult for me to fix. They shouldve fixed this while
they were doing the work.

While overall I was initially pleased
with their work, but the things mentioned above they overlooked or just
dont respond to when i make mention disappointed me. If you choose them,
be vigilant with any issues you have while they are there.



Joe,  the salesman was excellent and not pushy or gimmicky like other basement waterproofing salesmen.  Explained what they recommended well.  The foreman,  I'm bad with names and don't remember it,  seemed very knowledgeable and was professional and nice,  though I must admit he was very hard to understand as he had a strong  accent. 
I was initially irritated as I had thought they were going to arrive between 8 and 9 am the first day and I didn't receive a call.  They showed up close to 11. They quickly got to work and did a great job.  Though one spot they had broken a piece of a bottom concrete block on the wall and didn't patch it up.  Granted I may cover the wall eventually with a vapor barrier before finishing the basement,  I think it would've been better if they patched it. 
My initial plan was for them to have the sump discharge towards the back of my property,  the Foreman talked me into going about 10 or so feet toward the front of my house instead.  His reasoning made sense as the area I had picked would've had water spill onto my neighbors property,  however my plan was to eventually extend it even further back myself after I cleared out some small trees.  My worry with his location is that a major rain or snow melt will result in a lake in my front yard too close to my house.  For the time being,  I'll see how it works out.  I may move it myself in the future if my worries turn out right. 
I'm a little confused on how long I should wait to move stuff back against the walls.  Joe had told me a month while the foreman said 5 or 6 days.  I'd rather know for certain what the safe time frame is,  so I don't ruin the new concrete. 
Overall,  nice clean job and the pumps work very well.  I have more water entering the basement than I thought,  as the pumps kick on twice an hour or so. 


Update: I may have to call them up and have them come back. I have a radon fan going underground. I've found that they didn't completely seal around it when they put down the new concrete.

FAQs for concrete foundation raise projects in Essex, CT

On average, it takes two to seven days to physically raise your house. However, this does not include the preparation work, which is often the most lengthy process. The entire project, including preparation, obtaining permits, disconnecting utilities, and any subsequent landscaping, can take four to eight weeks. This timeline ensures everything is done safely and that your home remains structurally sound.

If proper safety protocols are not followed, raising a house can cause severe damage, as the process involves applying controlled force to the home's structure. The risks involved make it crucial to hire a skilled contractor who uses engineered methods to secure your home and prevent any harm to your household.

If your foundation shows signs of instability after raising your home, you might need to add structural support. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and recommend reinforcements to ensure your house stays stable and safe for the long term. Available support options include installing additional piers or pilings, reinforcing existing footings, or using steel beams to distribute the load more evenly.

You will need a structural engineer to assess your home before you begin. These professionals determine whether your house is suitable for lifting and identify any issues that could compromise its stability. Their expertise ensures that the project is designed correctly and all risks are managed to achieve a successful lift.
