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.

This is my second experience with Alpha Foundations in Apopka… Like the first, the second was outstanding. They arrived on time at 8 am. They installed 12 pilars in less than 5 hours. They are fast, professional, experienced, and HONEST! I am so thankful that I found AF. They have SAVED my house. Today's crew of Josh, Rickey, Antoine, and Ray were delightful to work with. Very kind, patient, and friendly. They listened to my questions and were happy to help. They were happy to be there. They enjoy what they do. Thank you again! Money well spent!

I had IBA install a mix of Intellijacks and carbon strips in on one of my basement walls. Dylan really hung in there on the prior project and came up with a workable solution for me — I felt he went far out of his way and demonstrated care that is rare.. During the yearly follow up for that work (which is holding up), it was identified that some Intellijacks for foundation beams would help solidify my house (the beams were wood and not large enough, so the house was shifting). Ricky did a great job explaining the situation and my options. He also spoke at length with me and took time to help me understand when I had questions and got confused. Jeremiah T and Mark F. did the work and were excellent. It was invasive work, but they were pleasant to be around, communicated clearly, were fast, and kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up afterward. No one wants to have this sort of work be necessary — IBA was recommended by a construction friend and I agree they are a good choice if you do need this sort of work. Professional, thorough, and guarantees included with their products and work.

The installation team was amazing and I would have them back anytime for future work. The team lead was Josh W., and the team members were Chris P., Jimmy M., and Hunter B. They were a highly professional crew and my family appreciated their willingness to explain the project as it unfolded. We have already seen a massive improvement in the house since the work was completed. The team did an epic job of turning my crawlspace from a dank, muddy home for critters and mold into a clean, dry, and encapsulated space. The air quality and humidity in the house are no longer an issue. I really appreciate the work they put into our home project.

Our salesperson Troy measured, crawled under the house, photographed and then prepared a straightforward estimate. He explained everything in detail and answered all of our questions. The crew; Luis, Jose and Eduardo showed up on time and after explaining to us what the plan was they made it happen. They were very serious about quality work and making sure we were happy. Our work unexpectedly required a new section of footer and brick foundation so they sent a mason/foundation man, Alex. Him and his 2 man crew completed the job professionally and quickly. They were easy to work with. We are quite pleased that JES is a company that kept their word, their people are professional and quite courteous and our house is now structurally sound.

We got an estimate for some basement and crawl space moisture mitigation. Ace was the estimator who spent a good amount of time crawling around under the house and in the basement thoroughly documenting the issues. He also prepared a detailed proposal and presented his findings and solutions to us all at the same visit. Ace was very prepared, personable, and patient as he presented his solutions and associated costs. We are still considering how much of the work we plan to take on at this time, but I have confidence Ace and his crew will be able to execute the work as proposed.
