I would not recommend Groundworks for foundation drainage work. I hired Groundworks in the bay…read morearea, California. When I agreed to finance this 15k job, I was told the drainage from the crawl space sump pump would and could be connected to the main, but when the crew arrived they were not sure where the drain exit should go and said the city of Santa Cruz doesn't allow them to connect and they could not get a permit. Why was I not told this prior to scheduling the work? I made the mistake of trying to figure out the discharge area with the workers who showed up. They asked me where I want the discharge pipes, but I am not qualified to make that decision. That is why I hired them. The workers were nice and tried to be helpful and this is not a complaint about them. I called the representative who originally came out, inspected, and estimated the job, which included connection to main, and that is when he told me that he could not get permits from Santa Cruz county. This is when I should have cancelled the job. The completed job by Groundworks has discharge pvc lines on the side of the house and terminating at the front right corner of the house and I have to figure out how and where to drain all of the water! I thought that was the point of hiring an expert drainage company. After work was completed and after first rain of season, I get flooding in my garage on two separate occasions. I spend the day clearing everything out and drying the garage out. I call and a technician comes out to inspect a day later and tells me that the sump pump under the master bedroom was installed backwards and wasn't working. Groundworks installed two new pumps as part of the drainage plan. Mistakes can be made, sure, but I would think for such a pricey job they would have it inspected prior to signing it off. Now that the second pump is up and running, it is so loud that it is difficult to sleep at night, but at least my garage isn't flooding. The noise disturbance now is unsustainable. Now, after groundworks installed this drainage system, if that second sump pump is not on, the garage will flood. Prior, I had one old sump pump under the kitchen and never had this flooding issue. I don't know why, but now my garage floods. Follow up was horrible. The supervisor Wyatt never got back to me when he said he would about the concerns I had and how to resolve them. Initially, Wyatt asked how they could make me feel better. I asked for a discount because at the time I thought the flooding was resolved, but I was put off for over a month and in that time realized it is not exactly clear why the garage floods. My concern is the flooding issue and not the discount, but no follow up to discuss. The General Manager did not call me or reach out as Wyatt said he would refer me to the GM. I had to make contact many times for any reply. At this point I am told by Wyatt that the GM wants receipts of the damage to my garage. I don't have receipts for me clearing out my garage to the driveway and drying out the garage. I called you all when it happened and you sent a technician the following day who told me it was i stalled backwards. A month later after waiting with no return call, I had to call again and was told they came out and fixed it already and would I like it to be inspected again. At this point, by whom? Can I trust this company to tell me what is actually going on? They don't even call me back. Why is the garage flooding now if it doesn't have two sump pumps running when it only had one prior? This treatment feels horrible. I am not out looking for something for free and a discount. I am looking to protect my home from water damage and that is not happening This was a 15k job and I now have to hire another company that can actually tell me why my garage floods. This is not ok. After I seek assessment elsewhere and get a good idea of what is actually going on with the drainage system that was installed, I will be following up with Groundworks. This is a company that stands behind putting out this quality of work and charging for it. 100% disappointed. This situation was improperly handled in many ways. Communication nonexistent.

We live in the hills in Los Angeles County and our chimney weighing over a ton has settled a few…read moreinches over the last few years, creating leaks in our roof with rain and pulling the floor around it. We decided with Eaglelift as they have the technology and experience of doing such work. We worked with a geo-engineer who drew up plans for installing 6 helical piers to support the chimney's footing toward halting the settling once and for all. The job also included sealing in the holes dug with high-density polyurethane foam which solidifies into solid rock, holding the helical piers, the clamps into place. The most exasperating part of working with Eaglelift was the scheduling and how our start date kept getting pushed back for months. It was scheduled as a 4.5 day job, but with rain and other challenges it ended taking up 2.5 weeks. That said, having experienced the curve balls that came with the foundation work of our chimney, it is understandable how our original start date got pushed back the way it did. My biggest angst about the job of reinforcing the foundation of the chimney was having to tear up our flooring, and the potential cracks in the old brick chimney, which towers over 20 feet tall. I was fortunate though to have a great team working at my home. They took care to cover the traffic area of the flooring with heavy paper, sealed off their working area with plastic and with a zipper to enter and exit. And when it became clear they needed more flooring to cut into, they helped me move and cover up the furniture. The team was made up Ramiro (the foreman) with colleagues Nick, Edward and Jose, and I can tell you, with all my years of remodeling and construction workers, these guys were a nice bunch to have around. They were pleasant, they enjoyed their work, and worked their tails off. The most nerve wrecking part for all involved was the lifting of the chimney by just over an inch, which was successfully achieved without any damages to the chimney and its footing, not to mention the rest of the house. All in all, I'm glad we had Eaglelift and especially Ramiro and his team. Thank you guys!

I spoke directly to the owner after he reached out and he was very apologetic and they seemed…read moredetermined to make things right. Project finally got a start date on 7/25. I was able to discuss the scope with the project manager and the crew got started right away. The work, installation of 16 push piers and void fill took 5 days instead of the originally quoted 7-10. The crew (Brandon, Ricardo, and Ivan) were courteous, efficient, and cognizant of our needs (access across doorways, warning before noise, calls before arrival). They often stayed a bit late to make sure excavations were safe and open holes were blocked off. They subcontracted a ground penetrating radar tech to mark out utilities within the slab to avoid any mishaps when drilling for injection ports. They lifted and stabilized the slab and performed the void fill so that our floor is probably as strong as it was when it was first constructed. They were fairly good at communicating possible change orders and were patient with my 4 year old who wanted to jump in every hole. Overall they were a wonderful crew. I knew from the plans that the work would be fairly destructive to surrounding yard and interior floor. As we have a series of interior projects (flooring, kitchen remodel, etc.) slated we gave the crew a bit of free reign in their work; The slab lift opened up some old patches, the void fill popped a few portions of our laminate floor, and a door got jammed as it was originally hung when the slab was sinking. Interior projects are not within Eaglift's scope so if you do not plan on doing an interior remodel I would engage in alternate plans for void fill. However as we are basically remodeling from the bottom up, the damage, while inconvenient, is not a deal breaker. There was dust left after drilling for injection ports and some interior concrete cutting when the plastic they used to isolate the area mistakenly ripped. The did their best to clean up afterwards but we still have some areas where we are finding dust. Billing was easy and their accounting was very accommodating when we wanted to split up payments. We had some discrepancies on some change order paperwork but that was easily dealt with over email and correct balance was invoiced. As with any contractor, you are best served by being informed. Ask what the crew is planning for the day, check against your plans, and be present for any inspections, or walk throughs. Eaglelift came through efficiently once work started. They did the job well and were consummate professionals. I would definitely recommend that you include them in your quotes for slab and foundation work for either commercial or residential projects. The delay was a huge drain on our schedule which keeps them from getting 5 stars, but that was likely an uncommon occurrence. I would recommend talking to their scheduler as well as their project engineer to get a realistic start date. They will know what their field crews are up to far better than someone coming in to provide initial quotes or draw up plans.
