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.

Water in the crawl space – oh no! But Paul from Groundworks came, inspected, and assessed the situation. Mkoma, Robert, and Valdo did the work and were outstanding. They came on time, were efficient, considerate, and worked tirelessly for almost four days doing our crawl space encapsulation. They were respectful of our property, putting everything away and cleaning up after each day’s work, kept us informed about their progress, and answered any questions we had. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew – totally professional. Thank you Paul, Mkoma, Robert, and Valdo.

Robert Dunn, Ryan LevepRio Roberson, and Trel Pearson gave excellent service at my home on a 2 day work assignment. They all showed respect and enjoyable attitudes. We had a few laughs and I enjoyed their company. The 2 days, and about 12 hours each day , were extremely hot and humid! However, they prevailed and kept up the hard work with a smile and kind word! Very appreciative of their work ethic.

Elvin Jonathan and Samuel, WHAT A GROUP. Ken Rhodes started this whole process and let me tell you he was a gem. He was so clear and took his time with everything. But what it was Jonathan and the team. They were such a blessing and I would gladly do this all over again. It was worth every single penny and I would say if you are in the fence you will thank yourself for making the wise investment in this team.

I had the pleasure of working Everett. He came to my house promptly and was extremely helpful and eager to help. Unfortunately, my situation was a bit unique, and his group was unable to take on the job. Luckily, Everett knew someone who could help and put me in contact with him. Although we did not do business together, Everett went above and beyond to help ensure that I was taken care of. -Erich
