Groundworks Foundation Repair Boston works out of Plainville and does the below-grade jobs: basement waterproofing, sump pumps, crawl space sealing, foundation stabilizing and lifting sunken concrete. Google shows 4.7 stars from 2005 ratings, and Angi 4.3 from 317. Its BBB grade is A+. The company describes itself as a nationwide provider offering free inspections. The recent reviews are crowded with crew names. Mikah, Mickey and Joey turn up across several June 2026 reviews for waterproofing, a dehumidifier install and burying drain pipe so you could hardly tell the work was done. A June 2026 customer with a 30-year-old pool says Giles and Jason worked from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. leveling a 2,000 sq ft concrete apron. Another, after a winter freeze-and-thaw cracked their foundation, describes an inspector, a finance walk-through and a crew led by Troy Wiley that came with the plan in hand. A June 2026 homeowner says the crew stabilized and lifted the foundation, and the squeaky floors and stuck door jambs went away. The annual maintenance visits draw their own reviews: eight 2026 customers describe a technician servicing a sump pump or drain system and explaining the numbers or how the system works. Archie appears in several, and in a December 2022 review a homeowner whose sump pump float failed says Archie found the problem and explained the fix. Several 2026 complaints are about what happened after a deposit or payment. In May 2026 reviews, one customer says the outside portion of a February install was never finished and the contact "can't reach the team"; another says the project was not completed after the invoice was paid; a third is still waiting for a receipt and describes problems with the salesman. A May 2026 business customer says a December project slid to March and a promised refund never arrived. In June 2026, one customer describes no-shows and no calls after paying a deposit, and another says a basin installed to fix basement water made it worse, with two weeks of run-around. A June 2026 customer who first hired them three years earlier says a leaking foundation seam was never fixed, the 10-year warranty was ruled not to apply, and the new fix was quoted at over $4,000. A detailed June 2026 review praises a two-day drain install and a spotless basement but says the salesman went quiet while on vacation and the dehumidifier lacked features they were told it had; that customer says a manager made it right.
Zac was amazing about explaining the entire process and costs of our basement waterproofing and crawl space sealing. Mickey Snip, Joey Hanley and Burphy Sorbs did an excellent job with the actual job of waterproofing and sealing of our basement and crawl spaces. I highly recommend this team.
I have a concrete slab for a foundation, sinking horribly. These guys came out and did a excellent job of leveling it all out. Friendly, professional, and quite knowledgeable. Very fair pricing. Definitely give these guys a shot. Highly recommend.
All the workers were very efficient came for 12 done by 4 with clean up as well! Very polite and professional. House is on a slab and the front of the house foundation was failing so they came to our rescue! 🤣
I wanted to leave the review that I previously gave to a company that is now just delaying an issue that needs to be corrected ASAP. I have now been getting the run around for 2 weeks!!! I am fuming! See attached video of the water I am getting in my basement! I paid this company to correct the issue instead they installed a basin right in the area of the water creating more water! You would think I and this issue would be treated with urgency but obviously after receiving their review and money as a customer I am put on the backburner. This is awful service and I truly hope they resolve this swiftly and amicably!! As of now nothing is top notch of their service as I previously mentioned. See below. "I had the greatest experience with a young group of worked that just amazed me so much I have to mention their names!! Mikah Ramos, Mickey Snip and Joey Hanley thank you for doing awesome work on my property!! If I were a millionaire I would have given $100,000 tips!! Continue being great and delivering top notch service"
No show no call on day of repair. After 4 different cancelations or late arrival for the quote. Horrible, of course now they have a deposit and no communication. Apparently they replied, which I cant find and said theyd reach out, so set up another appointment and no show no call again!!!
