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.

We had a section of our driveway that had sunk due to soil erosion from water runoff. Michael Mullen from Alpha Foundations provided a prompt and correct estimate for the work after a thorough inspection and my appointment was scheduled for two weeks out from that date. Alpha called once during the wait period to verify everything was on schedule and then the day before the scheduled date to let me know which team members would be coming out. We had torrential rain the night before, but Brandon and Nick arrived on time the next morning and worked through the mild rain that was still falling to get the driveway leveled back out. The Alpha team performed beyond expectations throughout the entire process from quoting and estimation to the actual work. Every single person I interacted with from Alpha was professional, courteous and communicative. They set an example of how contracting companies should handle customer service. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work done and the 5-year warranty provided. I will not hesitate to work with them again in the future!

I am writing to call out the excellent job done on our basement in Staunton by the crew of David Coffer, Bryan Conklin and Taquan McCoy. It was a daunting project because of a flooded basement and everything completely iced over. They had to chop a 40 foot path through 6 inch ice to even reach the basement and then they had to drain 3 inches of water before they could start. There was not one word of complaint about any of this and it was truly pleasant just to be around them while they were working. They did a thoroughly professional job and seemed to enjoy doing it. Thanks, guys.

I’ve been trying to figure out a smell in my century home for months. Called multiple companies came to investigate. They could not figure it out. Chris came by and nailed down the smell in less than an hour. Didn’t charge anything for the inspection. Highly recommend these folks.

Loved how professional everyone was! Great at communication from estimate, text messages and e-mails as well as phone calls. Explained the process and gave literature also explaining the process too. Short window of arrival time! Workers that came were kind and went above and beyond what was expected! David gave our estimate and was available whenever we had questions. Jordan and Max did the labor and were kind and got the job done and we were not disappointed at all! Thank you everyone at ALPHA Foundations!

I had the unfortunate experience of finding water in my finished basement. I contacted Groundwork’s and AJ presented me with a solution. He and his team scheduled a repair date and got to work on it. I’m completely satisfied with their work and in my dealings with them, and would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation. They went above and beyond and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Also, a shoutout to James, Paul and Tyler, who did the installation. Great job guys, thank you.

Groundworks did a great job, lifting our porch and sidewalks, and replacing our buried downspout line. Ryan Fanning was extremely helpful in assessing our issues, and formulating our project plan. Andres Martinez and Mariano Puchilla arrived promptly, walked us through the work plan, and got straight to work. All were very professional, knowledgeable, and delivered top- notch service.

Fred came out on a miserable day without complaint, explained the inspection process and got to work immediately. He then gave a thorough of his findings and already had recommendations ready to go. Work was performed THE NEXT WEEK by Trent, Darian and Tyler. Encapsulated, the crawlspace, added the floor jacks and lifted the house all in half a day. Would absolutely recommend this crew to anyone with housing issues.
