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.

Matthew Thomas of Ohio Basement Authority did a spectacular job for me. He communicated well, explained everything thoroughly, answered all my questions, and gave me a fairly priced estimate for the work that I needed to be done. He didn't try to upsell me or sell me something I didn't really need. I was very impressed!

Our project was pretty large and Logan took a lot of time being as thoughtful and careful as possible in the evaluation and quoting process. The floors in our 2300 sqft home were like walking through a funhouse. The house was musty from the moisture coming up from the capsules. He made sure we knew what was going to be done and why. Interior floor jacking and crawl space encapsulation. As for the crew that did the work, Austin, Billy, and Dakota got the job done on budget and on time. Austin provided great communication and worked with my handyman throughout the process for getting access to inaccessible spaces. Great work and looking forward to the one year follow up when they will evaluate the job to make sure everything is working as it should.

A few years ago, I had my crawl space enclosed, and my front steps and my side walks raised because they were uneven. I have a clause in my contract for the work to be inspected for five years at no cost. When they inspected in March for 2026, the Ground Works employee noticed the sidewalks were not even and some caulking was peeling away. I was scheduled for repairs of the sidewalk in May, 2026 and was not charged for this work. Way Lay called me in the morning to tell me he would be at my home in the afternoon. Prior to his arrival, Way Lay called to let me know the exact time of his arrival. He was right on time. He informed me of what they would be doing and Lu Chin assisted in the job. Both were very professional and detailed in their work. They worked quickly, but did not miss any details. After the job was done, Way Lay reviewed what he had done and we three looked over the finished project. It was very well done and they cleaned up their work area. They again asked if I had any questions. Both employees were focused and attentive to the task at hand. Thanks for employing such competent and dependable workers.

I was very pleased with the service I got for water proofing my basement. They were able to do it all in one day. I feel so much more comfortable now. They explained things as they were doing the work. I took pictures of how it was being done. They were pleasant. They were on time coming and they stayed until it was done. They came from Twinsburg. So happy I called them. Steven was my person that came and I worked with on the entire process. The guys that came to do the work was Jaden, Nelson, Oscar, and Gabriel. Jaden was the right there everytime I had a question.. I am not sorry I contacted Ohio Basement authority. You would be pleased if you had them. Thank you.
