Methods of Fixing Foundation Problems

How can you fix your foundation problems? Groundworks offers two main methods of fixing foundation concerns, with a variety of options that can help you permanently. 

Foundation Repair and Reinforcement

Whether you have a basement or not, there may be times where your foundation itself has sinking or settling concerns. In this situation, you may need to boost the foundation from underneath. Your local foundation repair professionals provide multiple fixes to help you boost the actual foundation itself. 

Wall Repair and Reinforcement

The second method of foundation repairs is wall repair and reinforcement. Specifically, this comes into play when you have a basement that’s having foundation concerns. That can often turn into bowed basement walls, which you may need to reinforce. Your local foundation repair professionals offer three different methods of wall repair and reinforcement in this situation. 

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

No, DIY foundation repairs won’t fix your foundation problems. Foundation problems run much deeper than the surface, so you need specialized equipment and expertise.

Yes, foundation problems are pretty much always serious. Your home’s foundation supports every other element of the home, so without a strong, stable foundation, your home is at risk of collapse. That’s why it’s so important to fix every foundation problem as soon as you’ve uncovered it.

Yes, foundation problems are not something that you can just leave alone. When you start to see basement floor cracks and other signs of foundation issues, that means you’ve caught the problem early—which is great! But you need to address the problem to stop them from turning into even more serious issues.

Foundation repairs aren’t always covered by homeowner’s insurance, but you should contact your provider to make sure. Every Groundworks company offers affordable financing with reliable warranties, but read our guide on homeowner’s insurance for foundation repairs for more in-depth information.

Foundation Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert 

One of the reasons many people worry about foundation repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. This is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s not that scary. You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

This is the most professional, transparent, knowledgeable, reliable company and group of people I've ever worked with! No surprises. No upsales. No disappointments. From the very beginning consultation with DJ, to the email and text updates from Brook, and the actual work done by Jonny, Chris and Jake, complete with photos and phone call follow-ups, the entire process was exactly as I was told. What a concept! And surprise, my indoor doors no longer stick! Other businesses could learn a lot from Alpha Foundations and their team!

Shout to the crew that worked on my house putting in the steel piers. We started with Eli and his crew who did a great job getting us started. After a scheduling delay where we changed up a few project details, we were then taken care of by Cornell's crew. He, along with Lee, AJ, Nia, and Nikey did an awesome job taking care of our house. Thank you all for your hard work and doing everything that you could to make the process smooth. (I'm glad the snakes ran away and didn't come back!)

I had the pleasure of working Everett. He came to my house promptly and was extremely helpful and eager to help. Unfortunately, my situation was a bit unique, and his group was unable to take on the job. Luckily, Everett knew someone who could help and put me in contact with him. Although we did not do business together, Everett went above and beyond to help ensure that I was taken care of. -Erich

Bryce was an excellent inspector and was completely up front about our situation. We had a few minor exterior cracks and called for a free inspection. Bryce walked me through everything and delivered some great news that we should just monitor our cracks. We definitely would recommend Groundworks for any cracks or settling in your foundation. Best to be proactive and address any worries or concerns as early as possible.

When we had our 1960s home underpinned, the consultant arrived on time to give us a quote. He gave us different options for work to be done and had solutions to cutting cost on things that weren't absolutely necessary. The work was done within a week. All of the workers were professional. Something that stood out the most was the way the workers communicated with each other. They weren't your typical construction crew in this sense. They were very kind to each other and supportive of each other, even when they were in a difficult situation. This isn't common in construction. As for the cost, it was what we had expected and we don't have any complaints. Our house is level now and doesn't feel like we're drunk walking in areas that were previously sagging. There's a reason Bay Area Underpinning is #1 in the area. Would recommend, even if they aren't the cheapest- they get the job done right.

I would rate 5/5 for Doug C. from Indiana Foundation Service, and he was outstanding. He inspected our house from inside and outside, and came up a list of logical suggestions and solutions, based on his expertise on structural engineering. He explained these solutions very well, and it was easy to understand for layperson like me. He was very thorough, and pinpointed small details that several representatives from other companies failed to notice. He was very patient in answering questions and hearing concerns that we had about the house. Overall I highly recommend Doug C.

Brent, Quion and Adam showed up on time. From the start they explained what they are going to do, how they will do it and how long it will take. They went over the scope of work and allowed time for questions. They were very professional. Answered all my questions.They did their job and cleaned up afterwards. They were considered of my property and asked if anything can be moved out of the way if needed . I recommend this company. And in sales phase Jason and Jacob did great job of explaining what type of work they can provide and stayed in contact throughout until execution time. Groundworks did foundation stabilization for my townhome.
