We requested a technician to come out to evaluate some concerns we had but after a thorough inspection we were assured that our foundation and the prior work that was completed by Groundwork’s was indeed sound and working properly. Big shout out to Michael Bowers for providing excellent customer service and professionalism. He took the time to make sure all of my questions were answered and concerns addressed

Dustin Gaudette at Ground Crew was great to work with. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, was very approachable, and easy to talk to. You can tell he knows what he’s doing and takes pride in his work. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally. I’d definitely recommend Dustin and the Ground Crew team.

Kevin P was very professional and thorough at examining and troubleshooting issues with my basement's bowing walls. He had great empathy and creative solutions for addressing what he saw. The i-beams installation work got done in just one day (rather than two) and there were gratefully no complications. The team cleaned up the area thoroughly as well and did everything with excellence.

Went with this local waterproofing service after a friend recomended them, and I have to say it worked out pretty well. The crew showed up on time and walked me thru what they were doing, which helped me feel more relaxed about the whole thing. Basement used to get a little damp after heavy rain, but since they finished the job it’s been dry and doesn’t have that musty smell anymore. Price felt fair for the work, and everyone was friendly enough. Not overly fancy, just solid work, I’d definately use them again if I needed it.

On 12/4/25 the Rush City crew was out for 2 days to remove pavers & a ramp from the garage then dig up floor to make a trench to install anchors to the back of the brick wall which was bowed. Each of the crew (Austin F., Andrew W., RJ, Brandon & Dakota) was friendly & the foreman gave us constant updates on arrival times, access to garage, etc. We would highly recommend them for future projects.

Dave Anderson came to do my service today, and was excellent. Not only did he do a great job, he was great with our dogs. Ever since IBA out in our sump pump, we have had a dry basement. I love the routine inspection, because it gives me confidence for the coming spring.

We recently had Bryce J. inspect our home, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment he arrived, it was clear he was incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Bryce was thorough in every aspect of the inspection, taking the time to not only point out areas of concern but also explain what they meant and how to address them. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond. He didn’t rush through anything and made sure all of our questions were answered, no matter how small or specific. His professionalism and dedication gave us complete confidence in the inspection process. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their work and ensures you feel informed every step of the way, Bryce is the person to call. We’re so grateful for his help and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.

IBA fixed my driveway and sidewalk saving me many thousands in concrete demo and repairs. Andrew and Ben did awesome work, even fixing areas I didn’t know needed repair until they pointed it out. Prompt, respectful, and efficient. And backed it up with a warranty. HIGHLY recommended!

Excellent and professional service from Isaiah McKeown, Chris Popowich, and Mike Erickson filling under our garage floor. Did a great job of walking through everything before and after and explaining how best to protect our investment going forward. We really appreciated the work, especially since it was an unexpected addition to the schedule.

The Groundworks crew (Austin F -foreman, Ben F, and Andrew W) did a great job fixing the walls in my boathouse. They were timely, professional, and completed the job in a day. Thanks to their good work, I can rest easy knowing my boathouse will stay standing for me and my children.

Just had waterproofing work done in my basement. Got the best team I could have hoped for. The communication, accuracy of work/flawlessness of the completed project I could not be happier. Even had a couple there’s things come up & that they already knew to take care of. Thank you so much Santiago, Thain, Dakota & Abraham. Three day project completed in basically two. Very hard workers & great guys. Would highly recommend this company with any waterproofing needs!!!
