The Most Honest Look at Foundation Repair with Mike Rowe

I wonder what the cost is for this. 20k? 60k? Pretty crazy how this system works.

Include the price of the work.

This is good

thank you for these videos. have cabin in the Poconos that I need to do a lot of work on, thank you.

Glad to see that these hard workers are still getting the people their high quality JoJ after all these years.

B. S. alert .....there is no way 50 percent of air in the house comes from the crawlspace..... I'm going to need to see some certified test results.

What an effective and unique way to advertise. Props to the Groundworks marketing team, this is the way!

Great show, but I think that we all want to know what will be the total cost for something like this.

Why did the sleeve get cut? Why are you using two ppl to push piers? Move the remote closer to the hole and one guy can push the pipe.

Really disappointed to see Mike promoting this as quality work. I hope they do another video with Mike showing everyone the service calls in a few years. Trenches not dug deep enough, system installed too high and tight against the block, system ran around the furnace instead of behind it, completely covered up the block bowed out instead of repairing the huge gaps, and more. When a company installs 4’ of “vapor barrier” they are hiding the real problems from the next homeowner. They didn’t install waterproofing, they installed drains with exposed grates.

Every ones is the owner but im sure if you do good work its for groundworks and if you do bad your on your own

love the work these guys are doing, that being said this house def did not need those push piers

I have serious issues with my foundation. Allegedly, the previous owner had something injected under the floor. There are holes drilled into the hallway floor. How can I tell if anything was injected under the floor to level the foundation? Thank you

Awesome

What was the bottom line bill?

Shouldn't houses be built on a better foundation. Like compressed crusher dust/crushed stone.

As a man who has done this for a living in the past. I can say that this video doesn’t even touch on how hard this job can be!! Hats off to everyone who does this work

Amazing work Groundworks keep up the good work

Leave it to Mike Rowe to get me to watch ads 😅😂

Is this what is called "re-piering a house" or is it just firming up the founadtion?

Man get out of the way. Nobody getting kicks out of this except mike and his payday from the show. No one doing this work is stoked to be doing it. You can only glorify it so much man before you end up the one drawing the biggest payday by standing in the way and acting like you providing a service.

Mike Rowe for president!!!

Mike, stop helping...it's making me feel so friggin old watching you get winded.

I'm confused, if they're putting in segments of piping at predetermined lengths, won't those pipes shift over time with the water causing the foundation cleat to come off?

5200 views and 14 comments (including mine) as of 9/2/24, Mike just posted the link on his facebook page.

This is the way it is done, correctly!

You guys basically got a bespoke dirty jobs episode

Groundwork’s thanks for everything you do 🎉

I love anything that has Mike Rowe in it!!!❤

Great show!

Groundworks installer here, let's go 👊🏻

LET'S GO MICAH!!!

miss Dirty Jobs!

"Safety first." "Top three for sure" Nice reference to Safety Third!

Leave it to Mike Rowe to make an infomercial into informative entertainment.

Too much like work for a DIYer. Well done mike. Now go soak in a hot tub.

Great episode! When the gentleman said most homeowners have never been in their crawl space, I would guess he's right. Personally, I see it as something like entering into Indiana Jones Temple of Doom territory. 😦 Gah!!!!!
