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.

Freddy D., Jacob S., and Santos G., were awesome. It was a positive experience. They hauled off all the debris that they pulled from my crawl space. Freddy walked me through what was done after they were finished. I have worked with AFS before. They are always the best.

There needed to be additional comments to this 5 star rating. The company's rep was Mitchell Shepherd. He provided executive level service that was fluid, unscripted, and filled with subject matter expertise that usually only comes with someone attempting to sell you the world or after you have already purchased said world. He quickly established trust by exuding expert knowledge of his discipline and thoroughness of his inspection despite his youthful appearance. I recommend this company to all.

I hired this company to lift the decking around my pool and outdoor kitchen, and I couldn't be happier. Curtis, Gehovany, and Alex were an outstanding team. Curtis called ahead to give me an ETA, and upon arrival, the team walked me through their plan to ensure it matched my expectations. ​Their expertise was evident—they took the time to perfectly level the kitchen and pool deck. I was especially impressed that the drill holes are almost unrecognizable and the cleanup was spotless. If you need concrete leveling, I highly recommend this company and this specific crew!

Deven from Groundworks is extremely thorough and courteous. Even though we worked through the estimate for a few hours, he was able to explain and answer every single question we had. Trust, we are a tough audience. They are not the cheapest but gave us the peace of mind knowing we will be taken care of no matter what. No surprise up charges, just a straight black and white pricing. The products are definitely superior to the other 7 estimates we received for foundation repair. Don’t be bamboozled by the competition with their rusty pipes!

Think twice before using this company. Another encapsulating company came by to do some different work and went under the house and said that encapsulation that I had done was not complete. They said my air vents should’ve been covered. That was never discussed in my initial inspection.
