Groundworks offers dependable foundation and crawl space repair solutions, basement waterproofing, and concrete lifting for New Jersey residents. We take pride in restoring the value and safety of homes in our local community.
"Working with DJ from Groundworks (Select Basement) has been an outstanding experience. After struggling with various contractors who either failed to resolve our water issues or were unprofessional, DJ and his team truly stood out. DJ was incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process. Our home is a ranch with 225 linear feet around the perimeter, and while other contractors insisted on installing a French drain for the entire length, DJ recommended a more targeted approach. He proposed installing the French drain for just 80 linear feet, focusing only on the areas where water intrusion was likely. His thorough explanations and prompt responses to all our questions were greatly appreciated. The workers arrived on time, maintained a clean work environment, and completed the job as promised. If we could give 10 stars, we would! Groundworks is a highly professional and honest company that didn't try to inflate the scope of work to charge us more. We wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Mik charged me $1,500 and ultimately replaced only 8 bricks, though there were many more I had wanted replaced (I had said replace "broken bricks" but he argued he hadn't seen them when estimating). He didn't bring the requested mortar and silicone color. He threatened to leave if I didn't like it. No repointing as requested in agreement. He failed to show on the first scheduled workday. The workers failed to protect my floor, and when Mik finally arrived after they dragged the rig through my home, they put paper down on my parquet with duck tape that pulled off the finish. I chose Milestone based on all these glowing reviews. No sir!"

Standard homeowners' insurance often excludes coverage for foundation problems resulting from soil pressure, normal settling, or gradual deterioration. Insurance may cover repairs if the damage stems from a sudden covered incident, such as plumbing failures that flood the surrounding soil.
Some insurance companies offer supplemental foundation coverage as optional policy add-ons. Review your specific policy language carefully and consult with your insurance representative before assuming any repair costs will be covered under your existing policy.
Quality wall anchors and carbon fiber reinforcement systems last for the lifetime of the structure when properly installed. Most reputable foundation contractors provide extended warranties ranging from 25 years to lifetime coverage.
Regular maintenance checks help ensure optimal performance by verifying proper tension and identifying any developing moisture issues. The long-term effectiveness of these systems depends largely on addressing the underlying drainage conditions that initially caused the wall movement.
Any visible inward movement warrants professional evaluation, but specific thresholds help determine urgency. Walls bowing more than one inch should receive prompt inspection by qualified professionals. When displacement approaches four inches, substantial reinforcement becomes necessary to prevent potential structural failure.
Walls exceeding six inches of inward movement require consideration of complete replacement rather than repair. Additional warning signs like horizontal cracking, water seepage, or concrete deterioration may indicate serious problems regardless of the amount of visible displacement.
Full replacement becomes necessary when a wall shows signs of structural failure beyond what reinforcement systems can adequately stabilize. Indicators suggesting replacement include continued movement despite previous repairs, extensive horizontal cracking with significant displacement, crumbling or deteriorating concrete throughout the wall surface, or severe inward movement exceeding six inches.
A structural engineer's assessment provides the most reliable guidance regarding whether repair or replacement represents the appropriate solution for your specific situation.
