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.

Last week I had work done on the foundation of my condo. Oliver’s team did an outstanding job! He and Chris were the “regulars” throughout the week. They were friendly, professional, and notified me each day of their arrival and departure. They cleaned up the site after they finished and the job seems well done!

Brandon McPhee came out to inspect several leaks and an active leak in my basement and some cracks in the foundation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Brandon was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly assess the situation. What I really appreciated was how clearly they explained my options, incorporating videos and images without any pressure—just honest advice and practical solutions. It gave me real peace of mind knowing what I’m dealing with and what can be done. Highly recommend!

This is my second time having Dry Pro perform work for me so I am a repeat customer. Mang and his team did an excellent job. I had my crawlspace encapsulated and the before and after is amazing. Mang kept me up-to-date as the project progressed and gave me a detailed walkthrough of the project once it was finished.

These guys take an OVERWHELMING process and make it simpler than my wife and I could have ever imagined. From the free no-pressure consultation with Bradley Cooper (no, not that one) to the actual lifting process, we always felt like we understood what was going on and they were excellent at respecting our schedules. Zach Lamos was our project leader through the process of actually putting the piers into the bedrock under the corner of our house that was sinking. He even came out on a Saturday to help me take some boards off of the deck in order to prepare for the pier process. We can't say enough about how this team helped to give us some peace of mind during what could easily become an absolute disaster of a project. If you are considering going with a different company, don't!

This job was in Concord Va. Mark(don’t have his last name handy). Came by, provided very professional evaluation., answered all questions, provided quote and I accepted. To my liking the service date kept getting updated sooner. Four young men arrived. They worked hard, obviously knew what they were doing, were polite, kept me informed, provided quality work, worked well together and cleaned up great. They were: Jose Rubio, David Perdomo, Carlos Carruido and Edras Aguilera (hope spelling is right) It was not cheap but I am confident in their work and very thankful for the manner in which they all represented themselves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review Patrick Richardville with Groundworks did a fantastic job evaluating our home and identifying exactly what it needs. He explained everything clearly—what needed to be done, why it was necessary, and how the work would be completed. He truly went the extra mile to make sure our home would be structurally secure, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. I also want to thank Jai’Seen and Jalen—they are wonderful hard workers. The entire team has been polite, understanding, and genuinely caring. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in their work. I would highly recommend Groundworks to anyone. An outstanding team from start to finish! Sincerely Kevin and Kathy Adams

Carter S. and Riley G. did a great job on our driveway! The cement slabs in the driveway had sunk and cracked—one was at least 2” or more which made driving into the garage a bumpy experience. But they got the slabs lifted, repaired the cracks, and caulked the joints between slabs. They even wrote down what caulk we should use to do the other joints if we choose to do that. No more sinking driveway! And we greatly appreciate the company’s folllow-up where they will come check their work annually for 5 years.

We had work done last year by AFS and it exceeded our expectations. During our annual warranty inspection, it was discovered that we needed additional foundation supports. Yet again AFS exceeded our expectations. Yoni Morales and Alex Garcia were very professional. They completed the work quickly and cleaned up the work site when they were done. Yoni and Edel Sanchez made sure that I was updated during the entire process. I couldn't be more pleased with AFS.
