Editorial Review
Our Take on Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton
Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton earns its place on scale: 4.8 stars from 1,038 Google reviews and the backing of a Canadian employee-owned company. The reviews skew toward concrete lifting, and two complaints about estimate details and warranty follow-up are worth raising before you sign. For interior drainage and sump pump work with a free inspection, it is a credible, well-established choice.

Company Background
About Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton
Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton starts with the size of its track record: 4.8 stars from 1,038 Google reviews, read October 21, 2026. The branch is part of Groundworks, a Canadian company built on employee ownership that formed when Clarke Basement Authority, PolyLevel Alberta Corp. and Basement Authority of Calgary united under one name. The company site says it has more than 30 years of experience, though it does not give a founding year for the Edmonton branch itself.
The branch sits at 1919 84 Avenue NW, and its own page lists Edmonton, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, Sturgeon County, Parkland County, Red Deer and Camrose as places it serves. On the waterproofing side, the company describes interior drainage, sump pumps, a basement wall vapor barrier, FreezeGuard and basement dehumidifiers. One Edmonton homeowner, Trevor, wrote that Ihor and his crew broke up the basement floor and installed the drainage system and sump pump, and praised the workmanship. A testimonial on the branch page describes a crew that excavated, installed interior and exterior basement systems, and arrived on time.
A fair reading of the reviews needs one caveat. A large share of the 1,038 reviews describe driveway and sidewalk lifting, not basement work, so the star rating reflects the whole business. The less flattering reviews are about follow-up. A July 2026 reviewer gave four stars after a caulking item discussed at the estimate was missing from the contract, an extra cost of under $700, and another reviewer gave one star over a warranty visit that never happened. Those cases involved concrete work, but they show where to press for clear paperwork.
Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton suits homeowners who want a large, structured company, a free inspection and a warranty-backed system for interior water control. It suits less well anyone who wants a small owner-run crew they can name before signing, since the branch page names no local technicians. Ask for the warranty in writing, whether it transfers on sale, and exactly what the contract lists.
Alberta has no provincial waterproofing licence. Confirm WCB Alberta clearance, the City of Edmonton business licence, and that any plumbing connection, such as a sump discharge, carries a Safety Codes permit. The branch is open Monday to Friday 5 AM to 9 PM, Saturday 6 AM to 9 PM and Sunday 8 AM to 9 PM.

Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton FAQs
Does a waterproofing company in Edmonton need a licence?
Alberta has no waterproofing-specific licence, so there is no provincial number to look up for Groundworks Foundation Repair Edmonton.

The branch page says appointments are available as early as the next day.
