Service Detail

Control Water Before It Becomes a Basement Problem

French and trench drains collect groundwater and seepage and move it to a sump or safe discharge. We design systems for Colorado soils and snowmelt so basements stay dry.

“From the first visit to help assess the basement damage from a hidden water problem, to the end when they did all the finishing touches, [The Foundation Guys] was wonderful to work with. It was a complete remodel with additional damage found along the way. Will, the project manager, was always helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond to keep the price reasonable and maintain quality. The office manager, Melissa, helped me with the insurance and billing. Mark, the owner, was kind enough to provide additional documentation to the adjuster. Without any hesitation, highly recommend [The Foundation Guys]!!!”

“Working with The Foundation Guys was a great experience! The sales rep, Will, was quick to get me a quote and schedule a crew to come inject structural foam under my front porch after a severe storm washed it out. His communication was excellent throughout the process and he made every effort to ensure I was satisfied both with craftsmanship and pricing. The guys who came to do the work, Mike and Gabriel, were friendly and efficient. They spoke with me before beginning work and made sure I knew exactly what they intended to do. We eventually decided to demo the existing concrete porch steps and a section of walkway and have them pour new ones so everything is level and looks better than before the storm hit! A professional contract company like this is worth every dollar and a great resource to have on your side.”

It was done in a timely manner and great communication. They will definitely be doing more work at our home in the future - I would absolutely recommend them to all my neighbors and friends”
