Great service

We had a severe flood this past July, and so we asked Groundworks to come and install a Sump pump system. They had the best system of the companies that we consulted. When they came, they listened to every concern that we had and answered every question we had. The work was done extremely well and we were very pleased. Russell and Blaine are to be commended for their work.

Sump Pump Installation

We were very concerned about our basement flooding after the heavy rain and long power outages we seem to be getting more frequently. We called Groundworks and they came out and provided a quote right away. They were very patient and answered all of our questions. Lucio, Tai and Robert did a great job installing the system, testing it out and they went above and beyond by extending the drain line when I wasnt sure if it was far enough from the house. I would recommend this company to anyone looking at protecting their basement from flooding.

Sump Pump System Maintenance

We'd been a long term customer of Clark Basement Systems with an installation going back 10 years. We have done consistent annual maintenance every single year.

This summer, we had a storm with an extended power outage and the battery backup pump failed to move any water, requiring me to hand bail the sump pit. I get it, old equipment can fail, but I believe they should have been more proactive on replacing old components (which we did on the most recent service).

However, the battery is also old and I was told to go procure and install my own replacement. I expect the company to maintain their system -- including procurement and installation of any replacement components. I feel like we've been left to our own devices here, which is not something I appreciate for something so important.

I am not faulting our service tech who has been consistently reliable and has done excellent work over the years. But I do feel somewhat abandoned by Groundworks.

I hired Groundworks to remediate and encapsulate my crawlspace, and they did a phenomenal job. The team was clean, tidy, and incredibly friendly. Lucio, Tal, and Robert provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

Awesome fast service for an Emergency

Andrew came out quickly for an Emergency call as my Sump Pump was squeeling so loudly. He checked everything out and made sure all was working well. On top of that he was so helpful, friendly and explained things to me. Such a great employee and company to deal with!
