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.

You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

I have dealt with a lot of contractors over the years, but I have never had a better experience than I had with Baker's Waterproofing. We had water leaking into our basement from the floor due to hydrostatic pressure. Steve Cahl, our salesman did a thorough inspection and gave us a detailed explanation with a video of what was causing the problem and how Baker's would fix it. After we agreed on the contract, he told us what to expect, the date the job would begin, what time the craftsmen would show up, and how long the project would take. Everything he said was true. Their communication leading up to and during the job was exceptional. Steve always returned my calls immediately when I had questions. The gentlemen who did the work – Tyler Barnhart (foreman), Joey Pickard, and Brandon Miller were incredibly polite, pleasant and unbelievably hard working.Tyler called me the day before, and each morning to let me know what time they would arrive. They not only showed up on time, they were early both days! The job was finished in a day and a half. Their expertise was clearly evident in the quality and timeliness of their work. And their work is guaranteed for life with a transferrable warranty. Thank you, gentlemen, for a very positive experience! You rock!

Exceptional Service and Trustworthy Company I want to express my gratitude to Cody and his remarkable team at AFS. When the initial installation fell short, they stepped in with unwavering dedication. Cody personally assessed the situation, and his team worked tirelessly to fix all the issues. The best contractors were mobilized, and they expedited the resolution. Not only did they address the technical aspects, but their commitment to customer satisfaction was extraordinary. Cody went above and beyond, ensuring that we were completely satisfied. He met face-to-face, patiently addressing our concerns and ensuring every detail was covered. It's rare to encounter such personalized service in today's business landscape. What truly sets AFS apart is its integrity. It stands by its product and its word. Its veteran-friendly ethos isn't just a marketing ploy–it's genuine. But it doesn't stop there. AFS is also family-oriented, inclusive, and rooted in human values of faith. I wholeheartedly recommend it for its exceptional work, outstanding team, and unwavering commitment to its customers.

Mike and Nick from Foundation Recovery Systems did a wonderful job lifting and leveling our driveway. They and the representative who first came for the estimate were very thorough and clear in their approach, and other than the successfully completed job, you’d never know they’d been here. The polyjacking was quick and efficient, and the seams were resealed really well. Looks great!

We shopped around and settled on MVFS because we thought they offered best product. MVFS encapsulated our crawl space plus put in 2 sump pumps/drains. We had it done right before "Debby" and there were some issues due to the amount of rain we got. We called MVFS and they immediately came out and rectified the situation. We worked with Mark (sales), Joe, Dez, Zach and Darryl (encapsulation guys) and all were professional, kind, they explained things well and worked till we were satisfied, even work late nights on occasion. We would definitely recommend them.

Evan, Jorge and Aldo were very professional quick and effective. It felt really good to witness the progress. From the beginning, Jake gave a very thorough estimate, explained the process and provided reasons for specific choices. Evan, Jorge and Aldo answered all my questions and left me feeling confident that I chose the right company. Not sure if this leaves you more or less confident in this review but I’m a real human not paid to write this.

From our initial consultation with Dakota to the work done by Jake, Alberto and Charles, Alpha Foundations was an absolute pleasure to work with. Dakota kept us informed throughout the permitting process so we were confident our pool deck/wall repair would be done on schedule. The crew arrived on time and were very personable. They explained everything they were doing and did an excellent job. It's hard to know who you can trust to do quality work and this was an important, stressful decision as our pool deck was not structurally sound. Alpha Foundations took this weight off our shoulders. Do not hesitate to hire them. You'll be in good hands.
