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.

We had Walter, Fernando, and Ronald out to fix our sump pump system (install a whole new one basically). 5-star job all around. They were super professional, did an amazing job on our sump pump – now it looks like what I expect a sump pump should probably look. They re-did all our pipe work for the pump, did a proper two-line backup system, dug out the area, filled it, upgraded our water bucket to be the correct perforate style (to allow water under the foundation to drain out), and cemented the whole thing properly when they were done. (ignore the extra mystery tubing in the picture from other previous work). They made the whole install process very easy. We look forward to having them back in the summer to finish some digging work to complete the job fully. Really impressed with Groundworks, and especially happy we did the free inspection otherwise we would have had no clue we had water building up under the house foundation that wasn't properly draining into the sump. Add to that our sump was frozen outside, and missing some key items to avoid freezing to being with, so water had nowhere to go if it did start pouring in. Happy to recommend Groundworks and The Crew (Walter, Fernando, and Ronald). 10/10 recommend.

Terry Bentz drove at least an hour and a half to take a look at the foundation of my home. I feel bad about that when I could have probably just him one picture and could have diagnosed the problem. Mr. Bentz knew what he was doing and did an excellent job explaining certain concerns and potential fixes. He was honest and said his company doesn’t offer the certain fix and recommended another. Good communication and a great company.

They were exceptional in every detail of our exchange. I was notified of when my specialist was on his way. I was given notice when unforeseen circumstances arose and was even offered a solution to solve it. The estimate they offered, at no cost to me, was done thoroughly. Many pictures were taken and all were explained to me in a patient and respectable manner. They were friendly, knowledgeable professionals through and through. It would be a pleasure to work with them again. -Thank you Mr. Rhett and thank you Mr. Keith.

The project: install drainage to a yard basket from two gutter downspouts and a sump outlet. Everyone we interfaced with was great to us – Sal gave us the quote, Steve in production got us taken care of for utility marking, and José C. and Rigoberto were great installers. Our property was left very clean and José and Rigoberto were very professional. The price was fair as well. The only reason for four stars instead of five is internal communication within Groundworks. We had scheduled the job a few months prior, but utility marking was not complete by the install date. The install crew had outdated plans from an earlier proposal of scope and the quote in their system didn't match the copy we had received when we signed. That said, when we got ahold of the right individuals everything was ironed out and overall we are happy with the work.

We had AFS come out to check our crawl space. Of course it’s never good news to hear you have some issues but they provided us with some great options on how to get it fixed. Nathan explained everything in such an easy way for us to understand! Loved the videos that he showed us because I am a visual learner so that was helpful as well! Literally the next day, the crew came out to get started. Evan, Aldo, Jorge and Moe were so easy to work with! They were really professional, explained everything they did and cleaned up the yard as if they were never here. It was an all day project and they quite literally worked nonstop from start to finish. Super pleased with how our crawl space looks! So appealing to the eye!

I met with Noah to inspect the work my home needed, and then Marc and Brandon came out to fix our sagging concrete patios and sidewalk. The entire team was friendly and personable, respectful of my property and family, explained the process for me and answered any questions that I had, and went above and beyond to make sure that I got the best repair possible within my budget. I got quotes from a couple of companies and got pushy salespeople aimed only at a big paycheck. What a difference with this team, who were all so open and honest that I felt totally confident and comfortable working with them! Thanks, guys!
