Sump Pump or Interior Foundation Drains Installation
I have had this system since 2010 and hace it serviced annually. Archie is the best technician - professional, respectful, and knowledgeable about the system. In addition, Jacquie, who provides administrative support, is always very helpful and provides great customer service.

Sump Pump or Interior Foundation Drains Installation
Formerly Busy Dog or Basement Technologies and now Groundworks. I have had a terrible experience working with this company over the past two years. For a number of years we have used Busy Dog to manage and service our sump pumps and battery back up which included yearly maintenance. 2 years ago the red alarms were going off continuously and BB refused to come out to see what the issue was. We had called them multiple times. The sump finally failed causing a flood in our finished carpeted basement. They refused to pay my high deductible and took no responsibility for their negligence. They replaced the whole system. Everything was fine until 2 days ago when the sump failed due to an improperly installed PVC pipe which burst, causing another flood in our basement. When I called during this emergency, they said they were now Groundworks and did not respond to emergencies. I never received an email, mail or call stating they were bought out. I was also due for an annual mainte

Our service tech Alvin Miller III of GroundWorks/formally know as Busy Dog came for a sump pump annual checkup. Alvin was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work. He very patiently explained to me how our sump pump and back up battery operates. He was fast and efficient and diligently recorded all of the work that was done. I was very happy to hear that everything is in good shape and nothing needed to be updated and replaced. I highly recommend GroundWorks aka Busy Dog company.

Unfortunately for my project, there was no Project Manager so there were numerous issues with "miscommunication" between the sales rep, crews that worked on the project and managers. The project took weeks to complete and while it is finished, I was extremely frosted throughout the whole process. Anytime I needed to contact management, I spoke with a different person who was out of the state. There needs to be a better process for keeping the project on track by having a Project Manager. I would not recommend Groundworks to any family or friends.

Sump Pump or Interior Foundation Drains Installation
My professional came in to do a maintenance check up on my sub pump. To begin with they showed up on time explained what they were going to do and followed up with me after the task was completed during this time. My house was left on damage and you would not even know that they were here. I would recommend this company just based on my own personal experience with them. Not only would I recommend the company, but I would also recommend Alvin Miller, who is very professional in the way he came in, did the job and left without wasting any of his time or mine. Look forward to seeing him again next year.

Basement Drainage Channels - Install
Worst experience, horrible customer service. Don't expect anyone to pick up the phone or call you back. They kept our deposit after cancelling the work on the day of the project. Took weeks to get our money back. Do not hire!

Corey C of Basement Technologies performed our yearly maintenance inspection on our Basement Technologies sump pump, and did a fine job. He arrived within the expected timeframe, and provided us a detailed checklist of all items inspected. He also reviewed the operation of the alarm systems with us. He was friendly and courteous throughout.

We had a french drain installed many years ago.Haven't had any issues and every year they follow up to remind us we are due for an inspection. We have had several technicians and everyone of them arrived on time and have been very courteous. I highly recommend them and have been very satisfied with their service.

We hired 1-800-BusyDog Basement Technologies, Needham, MA, to install a Sump Pump several years ago. Jackie always calls to remind us to schedule our yearly maintenance so our system stays under warranty. Our Technician, Zaven, arrived on time, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We would not hesitate to recommend their services. We'll see you again next year!
