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.

I serve on the HOA board for a 36-unit condo building in Los Angeles, and we had a major accessibility issue. Our driveway entrance was sinking while the adjacent sidewalk slab was rising. Over the years, this created a 4-inch lip that caused residents' cars to scrape every time they entered. Since most of our residents live here year-round, we needed a solution that wouldn't block access for days. After researching, I found Groundworks. Mike met with us and explained the concrete lifting process clearly. His estimate was very reasonable, especially compared to the alternative: tearing out and repouring the entire drive, which would have taken days and caused a logistical nightmare. Groundworks had all their insurance and licenses in order, making the onboarding process seamless for our Property Management. Unlike many contractors I’ve dealt with, Mike provided consistent updates and kept the project moving. On installation day, the foremen, Jacob and Ricardo, arrived exactly at 9:00 AM. Jacob was great at communicating what was realistic for our 'driveway dilemma.' In just a few hours, they were finished. They raised the slab several inches, caulked the cracks, and even ground down the sidewalk edges for a smooth finish. By the next day, residents were driving in without any issues. I was the 'HOA hero' for finding such an efficient, cost-effective fix. Homeowners rejoiced! A few weeks later, everything is holding up perfectly. I recommend Groundworks wholeheartedly for anyone dealing with foundation or concrete issues. It was a better and quicker solution than we ever imagined.

Had a foundation gutter system and pump installed, then unexpectedly had to put my house up for sale. My inspection was this morning, 11/5/24, after a crazy 36 hours of rain. 10 inches where I lived. The inspector came, basement was BONE DRY. Phenomenal system installed. And it took these guys a day to install it. On top of it all I was pleasantly surprised with the price, and the level of customer service was outstanding. Wholeheartedly recommend.
