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.

I had interviewed another company prior to talking to Kel at Alpha foundation and after speaking with Kel Decided to go with them because of how he spent the time showing me how he knew where the voids under my pool slab was and what it would take to get there he didn’t promise anything that he couldn’t fulfill, and in fact, told me that he probably wouldn’t be able to get it exactly level, but what would do the best he could, and when Jordan and Hector came out, I spoke with Jordan and he was thorough and making sure if I had any questions or concerns that he gave me the opportunity to say something. They did a great job it was done a lot quicker than I expected and very satisfied with the work done. We purchased the five-year service plan and I know that if we have an issue that they will take care of. done a lot quicker than I expected and very satisfied with the work done.

We noticed some efflorescence on our basement walls and called for a consultation. Scott did an excellent job walking us through the issues in our basement, explaining the cause, the appropriate level of concern, and showing us options and timelines for remediating and ultimately waterproofing our space. He answered all of our questions and provided visuals and resources to help us make an informed decision. We truly appreciated the care he showed us and opted to move forward with OBS for our basement waterproofing work. We’re excited to see the final product!

We are so happy and relieved to have the wall anchor system installed in our basement and garage. The crew of Colson, Antwan, Norm and John were very professional and explained everything in detail what they would be doing and then followed up with instructions on how to maintain it all in the future. The job was done quickly and efficiently, and it only took one day to complete! We highly recommend Baker's Waterproofing for repairing bowing walls in your home.

Keenan was very knowledgeable and carefully crafted and explained the plan to stabilize my home. The other team members: David, Bobbie, Jesu's and James carried out the plan – a Five Star Team. Twelve (12) piers were needed and installed around the perimeter of the house to stabilize the foundation and eleven (11) floor supports were installed underneath the house for further stabilization. David Pettway was the foreman. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They all appeared to love what they were doing. They paused all along to make sure I could see and understand every step of the installation process. I would highly recommend this team who undertook this major project for me. Thank you team for making this process easy for me. I highly recommend AFS.

Several years ago I had a new sump pump system installed by Foundation Recovery Systems and things have been working fine. I just recently had a courtesy “check up” on my system performed by service technician Randy Smith. He was friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell he cares about workmanship. He looked at the set up in my basement, looked outside at the downspouts and walls, measured humidity levels and when he saw some places I could improve a situation he pointed them out. He was thorough and explained everything he was checking and doing. I felt very confident in his suggestions and they made sense. I look forward to working with both Randy and FRS in future years! Thank you!

Overall great experience. Kalen was incredibly thorough in his inspection process and provided multiple options for addressing our crawl space issues. When we selected the best option to help protect the health of my immunocompromised wife, the contract process was both detailed and quick. Communication was great through the whole process. Our installation team of Francisco, Salvador and Rene were on time, thorough, clean and made sure they never disrupted our daily routine. We were very impressed by their professionalism and made sure we had the opportunity to inspect work on a daily basis to make sure it met our expectations. Great experience and includes a solid warranty. Overall a great experience!
