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.

Very professional outfit, easy setting of appointment. A few confirmations through text, and email. Inspector called the same day to confirm appointment, and again thirty minutes before appointment as promised. Richard was great, experienced, knowledgeable, and used his digital meters to checkout the balance of the upstairs floors. No pressure inspection, he verified that things seemed alright with his test. Encouraged me to schedule a recommended company for a soil sample. If they found needed work underneath my home, Groundswork could help. Inspection was 100% cost free, with an honest approach to my homes evaluation. Strongly recommend their service!

Carnell and Damen just competed a concrete movement package for our driveway and we're exceptionally detailed and thorough making certain we were pleased with their workmanship. Because of their craftsmanship we have peace of mind that our driveway is secure. I highly recommend contracting with Mount Valley. If it's concrete leveling you are in need of, Carnell and Damen are likely the crew that will service you. Expect nothing but excellence from those two!

Sorry for the late review! Kayode & Tyler did an amazing job with the encapsulation, French drain, removal of mold and extension of my discharge pipes in my crawlspace. They walked into a mess and left me with a dry, mold free crawlspace with an area that could be used for storage as well, Thank you!

Based on a friend's recommendation, I've contracted FRS to level my old driveway, which has seen several decades of erosion and settling … attached are a couple of my "before" pictures. No leveling has been done yet, but their quoting process was great … Ely spent over an hour analyzing and diagraming the voids in each of my slabs and walks, plus he explained how those voids could soon be impacting the foundation of my home. That sealed the deal, and I hope to add some nice "after" pics this summer once my project is all done.

Just had an inspection with Chris Weston regarding some cracking and spalling concerns. Chris was extremely professional, and paid attention to detail when explaining and addressing the foundational concerns I had in my home. He was thorough, honest, and made sure I understood the process and issues clearly. He provided a quote for the work on the spot, and informed me to contact him with any additional questions we may have.

Troy at Alpha was great. He came out and did some assessments and was honest that the work needed was out of their scope and didn’t try to push any services that I didn’t need. Would call again if I had any suspected foundation issues.

Seth, Noah and Emani were the last crew who insulted my floorboards and installed ten jacks, completing the encapsulation of my 1924 Chincoteague Island home with a limited height crawl space. Each crew during the transformation of repairing my foundation was professional, hardworking and highly skilled workers. The five years, transferable, of adjusting the foundation is another plus for the company. Thanks JES.
