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.

My foundation was separating in my garage. I called Innovative Basement Authority out of Rush City, Minnesota. The salesman, Logan was very knowledgeable and did a great job communicating. The work was scheduled and the crew came right on time. The crew was very friendly and professional. They worked hard and completed the work in good time, leaving everything in great shape. The final bill was even less than the estimate! I had a very good experience with this company from start to finish and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a basement or foundation repair.

Whitney Rose and Cammeron Miles came out for their free inspection and did a fantastic job. We were originally just looking at some patchwork around the exterior of the house, but we're able to answer all sorts of questions I had about drainage around the house to better protect it and offered services and solutions, both from them and other types of contractors better suited for that work. At no point did I feel like I was being up sold and they were very quick to point out all the good things my house had going for it. I would highly recommend working with them for any issues you may have.

We hired Groundworks (then called Bay Area Underpinning) to install piers at our house back in 2021 to correct some settling that had occurred over the past several decades. We were very impressed by the speed and professionalism of their crew and the company's great customer support. The piers really improved our house, and they have given us peace of mind as the rainy seasons become increasingly severe. We just had the company do a check-up inspection at our house, and we were thrilled to learn that our house has been rock solid since the pier installation. Their technician Ashton was highly knowledgeable and personable, and we appreciated his detailed explanations of his findings and potential improvements we could make in the future (and his no-pressure demeanor). We approached a number of companies for our foundation work, and we're very glad we chose to go with Groundworks.

Everything looks good after the work was done. I can finally close my bathroom door. I appreciated the fact that the foreman Erick Baez, went over what was done as they were done. I also appreciated that the two installers Manny Erickson and Jesus Villagomez also communicated with me after they were done to reassure that they did a proper job installing the jacks. Very good to know how the process was going. Great job.

We called Groundworks to have them look at the leaking basement floor. A man named Kyle came a week later to give an estimate, gave us a fair price and gave us a date for the following week. We needed drains put in as well as two sump pumps installed. A week later Ricky and Logan came. They set everything up, covered everything in the basement in plastic for protection. They proceeded to work hard, doing a lot the first day. Then came back with a third man named Cameron on the second day and worked all day, even staying a little later to finish. All the gentlemen that came were professional and friendly. The final product looks great. Once the rain commences we'll see the system in action. Overall, Groundworks did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them. Also, they guarantee their work.

This company is great. The workers are professional, courteous and knowledgeable. My last tech came out “Tyler Whitt” was over the top. He needs a raise. Anyone reading this debating about foundation repair, in my book there is no other that could compare.
