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.

Jimmie Matthews and his crew spent just about eight hours restoring life to the 110 y ear old home I grew up in and purchased earlier this year. The century of living had put some wear and tear on the foundation, but Jimmie and his 5-man team reinforced the old girl with steel girders that will cradle her long after I'm gone. Thanks for the professional work, guys.

This is a great company. Robert Steele came out to inspect our place after one year. Minimal adjustments needed. He is very knowledgeable, as is everyone we have worked with at Groundworks. Mike Row was right. Also, this is a dirty job done by professionals who know the business and how to help you get the results you need for your foundation. It’s expensive but a worthy investment.

I wanted to share my positive experience with Aaron Nelson from Groundworks. He was incredibly patient and thorough while measuring the foundation of my home and didn't recommend repairs because the measurements were as expected. He spent about an hour and a half taking measurements and clearly explained all the different levels, and he even explained how Groundworks repairs cement foundations by filling them in and lifting parts of the house. Aaron is knowledgeable, honest, and services most of Northern California. I highly recommend him and Groundworks!

My partner and I just purchased our first home and noted some concerns in the basement. Water intrusion, and a rotted out beam. We had another company come out and give us a bid but it felt like a sales pitch the entire time and didn’t actually provide us with the insight we needed to make an informed decision about our basement and how to proceed. Groundworks was the complete opposite! Our inspector Logan J. was phenomenal – he is so knowledgeable about structural issues and pointed out major red flags that the other company completely skipped over AND our home inspector prior to our purchase didn’t find. We are so incredibly thankful he came out and provided us with the understanding of how structural systems work and very clear ways we can remedy the situation. Because of Logan J., we have a clear plan and we know our home will be in great hands! 🙌

Andrew and Robert came out to insert a crossbeam. They were efficient and professional- explaining everything step by step. They took care to check in w us re the progress and the final pressure exerted on the beams. Couldn’t asked for a better team. For us, it did not totally take away the vibration but that was not due to their work. Most likely needed more than one cross beam so the engineer who reviewed the plans sh hv given us a call. Again the team was great.

Zach and his crew of Jacob and Keith showed up ready to work and worked without a break for about 5 hours (when the project was complete). Zach confirmed everything they were going to do that the salesman, Rick, had set up. He walked me thru each step and when the project was complete, we went back over each area to make sure I was happy.

Kyle arrived on time and was very knowledgeable. After spending time and reviewing my leak situation, we determined that AFS was not the company to stop my leak. AFS deals with foundation problems which I had none at this time, but would definitely call them if I did. I appreciate the free visit and will call someone to address my leak problem.
