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 had foundation piers installed at the end of February along 1 side of the house. It was scheduled to be a 2 full day project, but Jesse Phillips and his crew were able to get done in one and a half days. It was just above freezing that week so during the grading and filling all of the holes he told me would come back after the ground thawed to regrade again since the dirt was frozen. I got him scheduled about 6 weeks later and everything has been graded again. Aside from the hay and new grass you wouldn't know something had been done.

After having three different waterproofing companies assess our basement we’re glad we chose BQ Basements & Concrete (Groundworks). Josh came out initially to inspect and was very well informed. He was able to answer all of our questions and explain the process and reasoning behind it very clearly. He also made himself available to answer any other questions that came up over the phone or texts. On the day of the work Steve (foreman), Pedro, Tim, and Chris arrived on time and got right to work. They took extra care to cover the few items we had in the basement and to keep dust from getting into the rest of the house. They started with some demo before working on the drain system. Steve was communicative and invited me to see their progress along the way. The crew was not only hardworking but respectful and friendly. They seemed quite efficient and finished when they said they would. They also did a great job cleaning up and left the basement cleaner than before they got there. This was the most well organized and efficient company that we encountered. Thanks to BQ Basements we now have the ease of mind of a waterproofed basement.

What a great company ! From Dean Faulkenberry, certified field inspector, understanding and explaining what needed to be done to level my manufactured home, to the work crew of Greg, the foreman and his crew William ( woody) and Jeff. Got the job completed in one day, the workers showed up on time, were professionals the whole time, not one complaint, just put their heads down and got to work. I cannot rave enough about the company and the aforementioned gentlemen in this review. It was nice to witness that Customer Service is still alive and a priority to this company. Was a great experience !!!! RC Jones
