An April 2026 Angi reviewer had the basement waterproofed by Groundworks over a 3 day visit and wrote that foreman Doug kept them in the loop, found solutions to fit the basement layout and came with a financing option, a 5 year warranty and a yearly inspection plan. The New Hampshire company, formerly Rescon, does foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space work and sump pump installation and service; its reviews also describe an egress window, crawl space insulation and lifting a pool deck. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 49 ratings, with 4.8 from 94 ratings on Thumbtack, and BBB gives it an A+. A November 2025 Google reviewer said a crew with a jackhammer did the basement sump pump job in five hours. A March 2026 Angi reviewer complained that the crew smelled of weed, that holes were left in the yard with no follow-up after an offer to fill them, and that digging around the chimney appears to have broken it, which the company denies. A July 2024 Google reviewer said an installed sump pump failed and corroded in less than a year. On Reddit in May 2025, a commenter said Rescon put a sump pump outlet at the edge of their leech field.
“I also recommend Groundworks. Good company.”
“Groundworks did our sump pump replacement, seem to be a competent company.”
“Rescon, which is now groundworks, did a sump pump for me 2 years ago. I think it was $1600, took them maybe half the day. My only complaint is they didn't really talk to me about the details and wound up putting the outlet for it at the edge of my leech field and it caused some minor issues.”
“I’d say call Rescon, but they just got out by Groundworks. You can give them a shot.”
We recently had work done on our foundation, and the entire experience was outstanding. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly hardworking from start to finish. They took the time to explain the process, answered all of our questions, and completed the job with great attention to detail. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and they left everything clean and organized when they were finished. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. We highly recommend them to anyone needing foundation work and would gladly use them again in the future! Thank you to Matt, Josh, and Anthony!
We had Groundworks install an egress window. The team of Doug, Devin and Chanse did an absolutely amazing job. Very efficient and polite. The work site was always left in order and safety steps were always in place. Great team led by Doug!!!
The crew was led by Doug and then Devin, with assistance by Chance and Rory. All four men were professionals, treating the job with the care I’d expect they’d give to their own property. Very courteous throughout, and they did an excellent clean up job as well. We couldn’t be happier with the result and we recommend them wholeheartedly to their next possible customers.
Joe, Matt, Mike and Mason did an exceptional job for us Joe has a very polite and knowledgeable crew.
The guys were very professional, explained everything I had questions on . Finished the job fast too .
