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.

Excellent customer service! Steven, Chris and Brandon were skilled professionals that worked proficiently with clean worksite and as minimal intrusion to the work area. The crew arrived on time, posted the permit, advised me on steps and procedures of the job and quickly went to work. Steven was very informative and answered all my questions and concerns. Even took special precautions to avoid any unnecessary issues. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Great Job guys!

We had our basement waterproofed a few years ago by Foundation Recovery Systems and have been very satisfied with the results. Recently, our sub pump battery was alerting us of an issue. FRS called to schedule an appointment as soon as I emailed out about the problem. Within 3 business days they were able to send David Palmer II out to take a look. David was friendly, professional, and found the solution right away. I would highly recommend FRS for your waterproofing needs.

I couldn't be more satisfied than I am with Tar Heel Basement Systems. The crews ( Led by Gus J, Anthony M, Felipe L and Javana) were amazing. I enjoyed meeting them, young people so professional, and down to earth (no pun intended). Everything promised prior to service was delivered; I was really impressed by the way we were taught about the process before it began. The price was less than we thought it would be, after we listed the things we wanted done. The really great thing is that the foundation of our old home is stable for years to come. A warranty will carry over to the next homeowners after we eventually sell. It is nice to know we have an old house with a new foundation support system, including state of the art crawlspace- all under warranty-that we will pass on to the next family who lives here! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

From start to finish working with FSM has been excellent. Professional and approachable, always ready to answer questions and guide me through the whole process. Kevin who first visited explained everything succinctly and was ready with a plan and way forward from day 1. He was patient as we needed weeks to finalize details and never for one moment did I feel pressured into anything. Dustin and his team were professional and friendly when working on our house and finished in good time leaving the basement in a good state. Great experience and peace of mind for our house.

This review is for any single, female, homeowner that needs work done and are looking for an honest company. Trust Bakers. I had Bob come to give me an estimate on my cracked, sunken patio, he let me know they could try to do it but it wouldn't be pretty and I may not get the results I wanted. I wanted to try anyway. We booked. Bob called and said I was assigned a foreman named Hayden and he thought that was the best foreman for the job. The day of my appointment arrived, bad weather hit. They went out of their way to reschedule me for the weekend. No worries. The day came. Hayden arrived and let me know if he did the job I would be wasting my money and that I should just put the funds towards getting a new patio….in a nice way. When Bob did his inspection my patio was decorated with chairs, rugs, Halloween decorations and things. I had it emptied for the job. So, he could not accurately assess. Not his fault! I'm very happy with the services I ended up not receiving from this company due to their honesty and ethics. Customer service was also great. Communication was great. If I ever have a need in the future (I probably will, my house is 107yrs old) I will not hesitate to contact Bakers Waterproofing. You shouldn't hesitate to contact them either!

I had my crawlspace encapsulated and a dehumidifier installed by THBS to get the horrendous humidity we deal with under control. Keron, Joshua, and Fred did an excellent job with the project and kept me updated with arrivals and progress throughout the multi day adventure. Perfect professional/casual blend that makes me confident and comfortable with larger projects like this. 5/5 would recommend, thanks gents!

I had 3 companies come out and give me a quote to restabilze the crawl space supports on my house. Groundworks actually ended up being a little higher than the other 2, but I decided to use them. My reasoning was they were actually going to install a few more supports and add a couple more joists than the other companies. They are also the only one that offered financing. The whole process was so easy, the crew was fantastic as well. They were personable, explained everything, and gave me updates as they worked. I want to give a huge shout out to Rama, Tyler and Skyler, they were fantastic!

Deven came to the house and provided a detailed inspection of the foundation. The result was no work needed at the moment. I appreciate the honesty! He told me what to keep an eye on going forward. He was professional, courteous and very thorough. I would recommend for foundation estimates.
