Jeronmy and Willie we're outstanding! Jeronmy, as the lead technician, was extremely knowledgeable and thorough and they worked very well together as a team. I had a simple preventive maintenance procedure to have my water heater flushed, but with their amazing customer service, extensive knowledge base and delightful personalities, I think I will request them for any future Plumbing work I may require. I have had A1 provide service for a few issues now and they truly live up to their name, I have yet to have a bad experience.

Lynn and his team just finished the job in the basement. The original plan had to be changed as unforeseen circumstances popped up and he worked with us to develop a new solution. The whole team was courteous and kept the work environment clean as possible. We felt we were informed through the whole process and brought us down to the basement to show the progress. I would recommend Groundwork and this Team for any job you need done!!! SB Salina KS 12/04/2024

I enjoyed working with the JES crew, consisting of A. Grant, G. Peoples, T. Griffin and M. Usury. I am pleased to share my positive experience. They called to confirm their arrival an hour in advance, which I appreciated, and they arrived promptly. Their unwavering dedication was evident as they worked professionally for over six hours, demonstrating a solid commitment to quality. The team's attention to detail was commendable, particularly in their prep work and care for protecting the interior space, as well as in the installation and cleanup processes. I was particularly impressed by the team's exceptional communication and collaboration skills, which played a significant role in the project's success. I highly recommend this crew for their professionalism and expertise. Their work was aligned with the sales agent's plan, and I am extremely satisfied with the results, particularly the entire project life cycle . DL Booker

Extremely professional company. Followed through on every detail—told us when they would be here, what they were doing, and arrived on time. Andrew who did the work was courteous and walked us through what he would be doing. There were no surprises! Recommend this company for any concrete pool deck work.

I recently hired A-1 Sewer & Drain for some plumbing work, and I can’t say enough great things about their service! From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. They quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and provided a fair and transparent estimate before starting the job. The team worked efficiently and left everything spotless when they were done. Not only did they fix the problem, but they also gave me helpful tips to prevent future issues. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly set them apart. If you’re looking for reliable, honest, and exceptional plumbers, I highly recommend them! They’ve definitely earned a loyal customer in me. Thanks Prince Kumar, Kaige Hughes-Johnson & Co

JES Foundation Repair employees Freddy ********* Walter ******** and Ever ******* did and excellent job on my crawl space encapsulation. All three were very courteous and provided me with continuous updates on the work they were doing. They were respectful of my property and also left my yard in clean condition when they departed each day. Would definitely recommend.

We needed a replacement barrier for our crawlspace entrance. While other companies deemed our job too small for them, JES provided a timely and professional service for our home. They also followed up on their work by checking back with us a few days later to ensure we were satisfied. I'd especially like to thank Chaun and his crew for their exceptional work. A clear master of his trade, Chaun ensured our concerns were met beyond expectations. His professionalism was matched by his crew's quality workmanship, and it was clear that he excelled in the role of both leader and mentor by coaching his teammates throughout the project. We would absolutely go with JES for any additional work on our property; 10/10 would recommend.

My original appointment was to be on a Friday at 2pm. JES texted me the Monday prior asking if I would like to change the appointment to Tuesday at 2, which was great. The inspector, Jay called early Tuesday to see if we could meet at 1130. Jay showed up on time and we immediately dug into the issue…a likely sunken corner foundation of my carport. Jay covered all the possible solutions, went thru the warranty, timing, cost, etc. At no point did I feel pressured to make a decision and Jay conducted himself in a pleasant and professional manor.

Chris was great. Professional, listened to us, answered our (numerous) questions, got straight to work and fixed the problems. All within an hour. Hopefully, we will never need plumbing services again, but if we do, we will call them again!

We had a major leak in our laundry room wall due to (what we would discover was) a broken washer drainpipe. A1 was very communicative and set up an appointment even while we were still fighting with our insurance. Dispatch kept us well informed on the day of our appointment. Patrick was very professional, knowledgeable, and was able to quickly identify and fix our problem. And the cost with parts and labor was still less than half of what our insurance deductible would have been. Highly recommended.

Andre Williams from JES did a long-overdue and much needed inspection of my crawlspace upgrade done by JES. My crawlspace entrance is not very big and can be challenging. I do not feel comfortable attempting to crawl down there! He made sure that the sump pumps and air-handler were all plugged-in and operating—replacing the back-up battery, which was dead. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and efficient—I am so grateful to know that everything is working smoothly.

Bryan ********** and Austin ***** were fantastic. They were great about explaining what AND why they were doing what they were doing. Very professional and courteous and spent more time on the job than expected due to equipment problems. Instead of saying we'll come back some other time, they worked through it, went way past the scheduled time on site and got it done. I'm very appreciative of them and the job they did.

Work with JES! Level Up Your Career.

Groundworks stands apart by being dedicated to being better. We are driven in the pursuit of improvement – for our customers, for our employees, for their families.
