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 needed some leveling done and called Ohio basement authority first. After speaking with Charles, I didn’t even call anyone else. I had a sidewalk out front that needed to be leveled and a concrete patio out back that was cracked and uneven. John and Ethan did an absolutely wonderful job, they were friendly, polite and professional. No more worries about somebody tripping on the sidewalk and we will enjoy the patio for years to come. Thank you guys!

Big big shout out to the guys who came and did all the work under my house, they didn’t complain or fuss the entire four days they were here, job was done professionally and in a very timely manner, highly highly recommend this company for any kind of work you need done on your basement/crawlspace. By far not the cheapest option but the quality of work and craftsmanship stand out in there employees and the work they provide. Gary Hacker, Nester Bautista, and Axel Perez all deserve a raise!

A 20×6 foot section.of my concrete slab had cracked and sunk 2 inches along a downhill side. Groundworks crew Oscar Gonzalez and Riccardo Vargas drilled about 20 quarter-inch holes and injected expanding foam under the sunken slab to level it with the surrounding slab and tiles. The foam expanded laterally as well as upward and after curing is expected to stabilize the treated area to minimize further cracking and drifting. The foam is also waterproof and the slab started to dry out immediately after the treatments so tiles will not loosen from constant underground wetness. Crew was efficient, expert, clean and communicated well by explaining procedures in detail. Best repairoption for me and far less expensive than demo and repouring a steep concrete slab that would soon crack because the soil isn't stable with its high water content.

My husband and I were pleased on the simple process that took place in regards to our diagnosis and the crew that serviced our home. Kornbred and Ansley were professional, pleasant and cared about the beginning to the end of the job they completed for us. Took it to the next level while explaining the product installed and a detailed list of everything done. We would recommend the company and crew to anyone from kornbred to Ansley to our customer representative, Jackson who initiated the job.

Jose and his team of waterproofers were fantastic! They were very respectful, knowledgeable, and timely! We had nothing but a fabulous experience with everyone at groundworks. I can’t thank these guys enough for all that they do!

We had a leaning retaining wall by our walkout basement. We were very concerned that it might fall over and was no longer stable. I called Indiana Foundation Service and got a representative out the next week. He went over the issue and the solution thoroughly with me. We signed the contract and a month later we had some awesome workers come out to our house. Charles, Brandon, and Kyle worked 2 days to dig, brace, and make sure our wall was level/plum. I cannot recommend this company and this crew enough! We were completely satisfied with the outcome and the whole process. If you have any foundation or structural issues, do yourself a favor and call Indiana Foundation Service.
