"Do not contact this company, and do not be misled by their professional appearance. The quality of their work is poor, and their follow-up warranty service is virtually nonexistent. I had major foundation repair work completed by EagleLift (now part of Groundworks) in 2023. The project included underpinning the perimeter foundation with more than 20 push piers and replacing approximately 50 crawl-space posts. Problems began on day one. Even after this costly repair, several areas of the house remained unlevel. EagleLift attempted to correct the issue but was unable to do so. The situation worsened after EagleLift became part of Groundworks. Groundworks has failed to respond to my service requests, despite my 25-year warranty being part of the contract. As a result, I had to spend additional time and money to completely replace the portion of the foundation where the issues were most severe. Other areas that were repaired by Groundworks still have unresolved problems, and I have receiv"

"Contractor ruined our kitchen floor because he leveled and installed flooring incorrectly and ultimately had to remove it. He recommended a subcontractor to fix his poor leveling and flooring job but has refused to repay us for the damaged flooring we had to replace and for the work we had to pay the flooring installers to fix his work. We were left with a hole in our kitchen floor for months. The work done was sub par and he never completed the finishing touches he promised. There were also several instances throughout the job when he came by the house without consulting us first."

"We had a surprisingly difficult and frustrating end to our experience with Foundation Repair of California (FRoCA), despite a very pleasant beginning. Unfortunately, because of what we learned in the process, we advise others to be very wary of working with this company. We had hired FRoCA to do a foundation inspection when we purchased our new home in 2021, and their inspector and sales team were very easy to work with. When we decided to retrofit our home to be earthquake-resistant in 2022, we called FRoCA. They came, did a crawlspace assessment, sent our build plans and diagrams off to their engineering department for retrofitting, and pulled the permit. We paid a deposit on a 10K project and permit fees. The day before the retrofit was supposed to begin, FRoCA sent out their site manager for a final check before construction could begin. We moved our schedule around to accommodate, and they showed up three hours late. When the site manager arrived, they overlapped with a meeting we had moved to accommodate them. Upon finding this out, they were very curt and unprofessional, and we didn't realize until later in the day that they had left without letting us know a status update. Later that day, we got a call from FRoCA saying that the site manager had banned anyone from FRoCA from going into our crawlspace, and said that all the insulation needed to be removed before they could continue the project. At this point they'd said they could remove the insulation for an additional fee. When we expressed surprise at this, our sales rep told us that the site manager had actually broken out in hives from being in our space. This was a surprise to us, as we had 1) replaced the insulation based on FRoCA's recommendation when we moved into the house, 2) had not been told that the insulation needed to be removed and replaced after multiple site visits by FRoCA, and 3) had multiple plumbing/electric contractors in our crawlspace, and didn't want to expose anyone to a hazardous environment. We put the project on hold and called three separate companies that specialize in either crawl space inspection or foundation inspection to check on the status of our crawl space. All came, performed an analysis and inspection, and came back with a clean bill of health. After all this, we were ready to share the inspection reports with FRoCA, but before we could do so, our sales rep said that they couldn't do the retrofit work as promised anyway, as their chosen materials were incompatible with a section of the foundation. We were surprised by this, as FRoCA had done multiple designs and checks, had their engineering team review it, and then sent it to the city to get approval and pull a permit. We asked how engineering had missed it, and FRoCA essentially shrugged it off. At this point, months had passed from when we were first approved for the EBB grant, and time was running out for us to finish our project. We started looking for another contractor to help us out, and asked for our deposit to be refunded from FRoCA, which they initially didn't want to do and tried to convince us to keep them on retainer, citing the rising costs of materials. We refused and insisted on our deposit back. FRoCA said that they would refund our deposit, but that we would need to pay the permit cost. We paid them for the permit, but in order to transfer the permit the local government needed the plans that were drawn as well. FRoCA refused, stating that the fee was technically only for the permit. We were really unhappy with this arrangement, as they pulled a permit based on plans that wouldn't work, and submitted a permit release that, without plans, couldn't be released. This is extremely frustrating, as we paid $900+ for a permit that couldn't be used. We had to pay for another permit when we hired a new contractor to work on our retrofit. In the meantime, we found another independent contractor who made the process SO EASY. He proactively worked with EBB to help us get an extension. Within three weeks of us contacting him, he had a new permit pulled, plans designed, and one more week later, was bolting down our crawlspace. Seeing how easy GrandView Builders made this process really shone a light on FRoCA's inadequate business practices. Summary: FRoCA pulled out of our project 24 hours before it was due to start, citing reasons that were discredited by 3 independent companies. They then claimed that the project wasn't feasible because of an incompatibility between our home and their materials that they had missed during several site visits, after submitting plans and pulling permits. After we insisted on a refund of our deposit, they provided a permit release but not the plans necessary to the local government, without which we could not transfer the permit to the new contractor, costing us $900 for no discernible reason."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Salinas, CA

The most affordable way to waterproof your basement is with interior methods like waterproof paint, costing between $1 and $8 per square foot, or silicate concrete sealers priced at $4 to $6 per square foot. However, these solutions are only suitable for certain issues. If your basement moisture is due to more serious problems like a cracked foundation, you'll need more extensive (and costly) repairs.

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is a smart investment that can increase your home's value. By keeping your basement dry and free of moisture problems, you protect your home's structural integrity and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Plus, taking proactive measures now can prevent costly water damage repairs down the line.

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the selected method. Some approaches to interior waterproofing, like paint or sealant, can be completed within a day. Installing new drains or weeping tiles will need at least two to three days of labor. Any forms of exterior waterproofing that require you to excavate land will require an additional three days of work to prepare the ground.

Yes, basement waterproofing can significantly increase your home's value. A dry, leak-free basement is a strong selling point for potential buyers, enhancing your property's desirability and market price. Investing in professional waterproofing not only protects your home's structural integrity but also ensures a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.

Waterproofing both the interior and exterior of your basement offers the best protection against moisture. Exterior waterproofing stops water from penetrating your foundation, while interior methods manage any moisture that does enter. If you must choose one, exterior waterproofing is generally more effective, as it prevents water from reaching your home's interior in the first place.
