BOSTON– Groundworks, North America’s leading foundation and water management solutions company, has marked another major milestone in its rapid expansion with the acquisition of Busy Dog Basement Technologies. This move establishes the company’s first presence in Massachusetts and follows its recent expansion into New Hampshire, reinforcing Groundworks’ growing footprint in New England.
“You cannot operate in New England without a strong presence in Boston,” said Matt Malone, founder and CEO of Groundworks. “With our three experienced local teams now united under the Groundworks name, we’re committed to delivering exceptional foundation and waterproofing solutions that will protect and strengthen New England homes for generations to come.”
For over 35 years, Busy Dog Basement Technologies has been a trusted provider of basement waterproofing, foundation repair, and crawl space solutions to homeowners in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Under the Groundworks banner, the company will continue serving local customers while leveraging new resources, cutting-edge technology, and industry-leading expertise.
“Partnering with Groundworks offers our business the incredible opportunity to scale up quickly to better meet the growing needs of homeowners in our area,” said James Pratt, owner of 1-800 Busy Dog Basement Technologies. “Adding the resources and strategic vision of the industry’s best – and largest – company will create an elevated experience for our customers and provide our employees with exciting career growth opportunities.”
Groundworks’ aggressive expansion strategy has solidified its status as a powerhouse in the foundation solutions industry. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, the company established new offices in Salt Lake City, Memphis, Fort Wayne, and New Haven, alongside two acquisitions. Since its founding in 2016, Groundworks has built nearly 80 offices across North America, blending localized expertise with specialized technology to redefine the industry.
A key factor in Groundworks’ success has been its commitment to its workforce. In 2023, the company transitioned to an employee ownership model, providing team members with a stake in the company’s growth. This move, coupled with extensive training programs, underscores Groundworks’ dedication to long-term career advancement and excellence in service.
As Groundworks strengthens its presence in New England, homeowners in Massachusetts can expect enhanced access to industry-leading foundation repair and waterproofing solutions—backed by a company that continues to set new standards for quality and innovation.
