Mike is an absolute professional and expert in this line of work. JES/Groundworks is definitely your one stop shop for any foundation, concrete, water intrusion events you may be questioning. A lot of companies subcontract in Maryland under one license, but this company does not. They are truly invested in your home! It felt like I had a peer or family member in a professional capacity assessing my home. Do not look any further for the right company. Ask for Michael "Mike" Ficzko!!!

It was a pleasure to work with DMV Foundation Solutions & they truly provided high-quality customer…read moreservice. From the initial phone call with Logan, to the consultation with Yos, they listened to our concerns/requests & communicated things clearly. Yos was punctual, friendly, and efficient in his evaluation. He generated a detailed report outlining his professional opinion regarding minor cracks in our poured concrete foundation wall & even provided recommendations for preventative maintenance. Five stars!

Late in the summer of '24, we started to see a few cracks developing in our home. No big deal -…read moreit's 70+ years old, cracks happen. And then they kept happening, getting larger and spreading throughout the entirety of the house, and we could no longer open the doors in the basement and 1st floor on the south side of the house. Alarmed, I called a civil engineer and had an assessment done. They ascertained our house was sinking, particularly in one corner, and recommended ~30 push piers around the perimeter and up the centerline of the house... for over $100k. I literally laughed at him and asked him who he thought I was that he thought I could afford that. I called a few other places and got questionable assessments, and then I spoke with Yos from DMV. What a breath of fresh air. He was personable and honest. He recommended we get a 3rd party civil engineer to produce a report with drawings that I could use for any foundation company - even if I didn't go with DMV. We (finally, after a loooong delay on the civil engineer's part) got the report and drawings, and Yos and his team began work in early January to install ~10 helical piers on the sinking corner of the house. It was a pretty invasive project, but his team was fantastic. Fast forward 5 months and the cracks have stopped appearing, with a number of them even closing. We are very satisfied with the work DMV did for us, and are particularly pleased with their honesty. Where one company tried to sell us an overkill solution for six figures, Yos was upfront and told us what we really need - to address that affected area and revisit others if they end up being an issue - for roughly a quarter of the other company's price. That sort of honesty and pricing earns a permanent spot in my trusted contractor list.

I am a Realtor, and needed help with a listing that had some water damage discovered in the…read morebasement, which HAD to be fixed on a tight deadline or the deal would fall apart. I was freaked out about the drama that this could entail. First I called another company, who said it would be 2 weeks before they could even come out and look. Then I was recommended by another agent to use Floodbusters - he said they are fast and competent, and their prices are much better than other companies. He was RIGHT. Wanda heard my plea that we needed someone right away, and sent a worker out that same day to survey the issues. Mike was timely and knowledgeable. He pointed out issues and make logical conclusions about them. It started to rain hard while he was there, and we got to watch his theories play themselves out in real time - it was like God wanted us to have assurities that we were heading on the right path with the fixes. The team moved other projects around and started that very same week on ours. Due to supply issues (thanks to Covid) they couldn't get all the PVC piping they needed and had to spend the whole Friday morning searching for supplies, so they didn't finish at the time they said they would, but I was just so grateful that they were working with us so diligently to help our sale close on time. The key broke off in the lock to the lower level access door, and Charles, the project manager, replaced that without being asked! Charles and Wanda (who scheduled the project and helped me on the phone) had great follow up and truly demonstrated a care for our needs. This was a stellar experience for me, and a real answer to prayer on what could have been a disastrous experience for me as a Realtor, and for my seller. I would use them again AND recommend them to anyone!

Sam's crew left our yard and basement spotless in a better condition than it was in before they got there to do the work. I have complete confidence that this pesky crack will no longer be a problem for me. I highly recommend.

Disappointing service. We initially purchased a basement inspection by Sam on Angie's List. While…read morehe's quite personable and gave a great report, he didn't notice the basement leaks etc until we pointed it out. However as I said, he's personable. Fast forward a year, and we're finishing the basement. Our contractor went to put in the new plumbing and our foundation was a mess. Got two quotes for sump pump systems, one from Sam and one from our contractor's work experience. About the same, so we went with Sam. Sam never showed up but sent his team who appeared to work hard and diligently. Older house so they broke the main sewage line leaving our house. Our problem of course. Later, luckily before we put in carpet, noticed the middle of a room was leaking from the floor up. Looks like they agitated the line running to the upstairs laundry room. Again, our problem. A year later, the pipe that runs to our line that goes out to the culvert, is leaking all over our concrete patio. Contact Sam (third time) and he tells us, not his problem, call a plumber - should be an easy fix. Call the plumber, he comes out and says no i'm not going to fix it because this is such a poor design that it will just happen again. Oh and by the way you are lucky that the water never froze in this pipe (the design has it going "uphill") since that would have broken your sump pump. Now, we have to investigate how to re-design the layout and plumber will come back to fix. Thanks Sam - no expertise or service provided.
