Groundworks has the people and experience to tackle Muskoka’s foundation issues, especially those built on the rocky Canadian Shield and sloping land. “The ground is a little different in Muskoka,” says Dalen Sharp, General Manager.
Basements and crawl spaces are an important part of a home or cottage and many times go unnoticed. Moisture and deteriorating foundation walls or piers can threaten the health and safety of your home. Acting today can help you avoid costly future repairs.
It’s easy to do. Just visit groundworks.ca. “Go to the website, call the phone number and we will take care of you,” says Sharp. “Our employees are customer focused so the journey is top-notch.”
Groundworks recently merged with Clarke Basement Authority, an 18-year old company that has been working in Muskoka for years.
“Foundation services is an industry that has been forgotten,” says Sharp. Groundworks merged with many successful foundation specialist companies, and created a larger company that could offer more. The customer wins by dealing with a team of employees who have training, quality tools and equipment to do the job well and personal opportunities for promotion and more.
Foundation repairs are common in Muskoka. Water seeps in cracks in walls and floors. 
Groundworks starts by finding the source, then diverting water away, often adding a sump pump and waterproofing so water cannot get back in. Sometimes walls are bowed and need repair. “Each situation is unique but when we are finished, you can spend money on finishing the basement with confidence,” he says.
Groundworks also specializes in stabilizing crawlspaces, improving air quality and energy savings to improve the overall stability and health of your home. This could include foundation repairs, insulating walls, encapsulating to prevent water penetration and sometimes adding a bit of heat or adding or changing home venting locations.
Every employee of Groundworks is an owner.
A home’s value depends on the reliability of its foundation, particularly in Muskoka’s troublesome rocky, sloping landscape.
