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.

Just had Tony Marlowe from afs come out and do a service inspection, and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We have had a couple of issues from the company itself, but he went above and beyond. He should probably get a raise, I'm just saying

We had Groundwork’s come out to install a new sub pump. The crew they sent out, Luis, Gerson and Carlos, were so polite, took the time to cover all flooring before working. They explained what they found with the old pump and what the new pump would do. I would give the experience a A+ rating.

Alex C., Brandon R., and Jayden G. did a wonderful job installing a pump in my basement cellar room. They went above and beyond to ensure that the pump would work efficiently while also concealing external piping to preserve the aesthetics of my home. They were meticulous about installation and cleanup. What a team!

We had a mold issue under in house, damp crawl space. We called Alpha Foundations, they were prompt to reply. I am a building contractor in Florida and have very little experience in crawl space issues. That was put to rest when "Dylan" arrived, he was very knowledgeable. He explained in depth the procedure on what was needed to be done. After careful thought we called him and signed up. We were scheduled in. When the crew arrived (Andrew, Woody and Ryan) they all introduced themselves and explained everything that was going to happen, including pictures of the work as it progressed. When they were under the house working you could hear them working ( note: we were not intentionally trying to listen we were just up there). There was no negative talk or cussing just business. I would highly recommend this company and will if I get the chance. Robert & Lisa M.

The team, Brent and Jamie, were on time and professional the whole time. Polite conversations. We appreciate the minimal appearance of any foundation work. With all that they did, you can barely see any of the penetrations in our floor. Thanks for your hard work.

Today I had a free estimate done with Daniel from Mount Valley. I am writing this review solely because he left a great impression of the company! He was honest with what I did and did not need done, he was patient and kind with my dog (important), and he did not try to intimidate me as many salesmen for whatever reason have tried to do. Not to mention, he was courteous of my time and performed efficiently. They are a pricier service and I have not seen final results, hence the four-stars, however I would indeed recommend Mount Valley for professional services.
