Core offering

Foundation Support Specialists provides foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting services to residential homeowners in Texas. The company dispatches Certified Field Inspectors (CFIs) to perform free on-site assessments and delivers custom-designed repair solutions using engineered systems such as helical piers, push piers, wall anchors, interior drainage, and polyfoam injection. All work is completed by trained and certified in-house technicians with over 20 years of combined experience.

Product overview

Foundation Support Specialists (now operating as Groundworks in Texas) offers a comprehensive suite of foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and concrete lifting services for residential properties. The company provides patented, integrated solutions including helical piers, push piers, wall repair systems, wall anchors, interior drainage systems, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers. These products work together as a system: foundation repair products (piers, wall anchors, supports) stabilize the home's structural foundation, while waterproofing and crawl space solutions (drainage, sump pumps, encapsulation, dehumidifiers) protect against moisture damage. Concrete lifting services use polyfoam injection to address sunken surfaces. All work is performed by trained and certified technicians with over 20 years of combined experience.
