I had a crawl space encapsulation done by TarHeel/Groundwork. Tim provided the estimate and clearly explained the process and next steps. Brian, Tyler, and Roy arrived on time, kept me posted on what they were doing each day. I started with a mess and am pleased with the results.

We had a great experience with Groundworks in Jacksonville. Matt was wonderful to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful through the whole process. They helped us find the least invasive solution that still satisfied the lender, appraiser, and buyer, which made a stressful situation much easier. We really appreciated their honesty, communication, and willingness to work with us.

Ray M, Greg H & Darion H did a great job. They worked hard to fix the dip in my dining room as well as sealing my crawl space, installing the dehumidifier and sump pump. I would hire them again.

Gary Hacker Aiden Bennett Michael Mayes Tore out and replaced the foundation crawlspace boards put in supports and floor jack's. What an amazing job! Personable kept me informed diligently did their work. Ate lunch in the truck let me know when they were on the way and arrived. Asked me if I had questions. Went over the work they did showed me pictures. Explained. They never said anything bad about the one that previously did 30k worth of work. These young men worked hard under the house all day long. My home is like new again. Can I adopt you young men? I commend you for your work ethic and integrity. I'm so grateful. Thank you. Floors are even my cabinets do not have space between them and the ceiliing. Doors are even. Whoop hoo. They replaced joists and made my house solid forever.

So far so good with our basement gutters and sump pump that were installed December 2024. Fingers crossed we don't have anymore flooding!! We just had our yearly maintenance and inspection visit for our basement gutter system. The technician, Devin Hunt, was great! He was very thorough, professional, and polite, even calling me the day before our appointment to ask me in advance if I have any concerns or issues with the system.

We needed our front stoop to be lifted. So I found Tar Heel Basement Systems online and read many positive reviews. We were not disappointed! John Knight spent almost 2 hours with us. We ended up getting our back patio and driveway lifted as well as the stoop. We are pleased with the work that was completed at our house. John Knight and Jeremy were both a pleasure to work with. We recommend Tar Heel Basement Systems (Groundworks)!

Brian and John was so professional, crawl space looks so much better, and they cleaned up their scrap. I'm anxious for a damp free crawl space. Robert and Steven, James and Brandon all did a very good job with the basement waterproofing. Everything looks so good and they cleaned their scrap too. Can't wait for a damp free basement. Seth Brown, the inspector that gave us the quote was very nice too. I recommend Tar Heel Basement to anybody. Their staff is great.
