VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Groundworks®, the nation’s leading and fastest-growing foundation and water management solutions company, announced the hire of Mike Midgett as its new chief service officer. In this role, Midgett will lead the Groundworks’ service division, furthering its commitment to a lifetime partnership with homeowners in the protection of their homes. Midgett will use his 35 years of experience in home services to further the division’s best-in-class customer service and maintenance to homeowners who choose Groundworks and its brands for their waterproofing, foundation repair and concrete needs.
