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 recently used Groundworks to lift our house due to noticeable bounce in the floors, significant sloping in the kitchen and other areas and generally uneven surfaces that even caused a door jam and prevented a door from closing properly. We also had a concerning crack on the wall. We were impressed from the very beginning. Matthew conducted a thorough initial inspection, patiently addressing all of our (my husband and my) questions, concerns, and opinions with remarkable attention to detail. This thoroughness continued with Foreman Brandon and his crew Quandarius Turner, and Gabe, who completed the house lifting expertly. Brandon was particularly accommodating and clearly explained all the necessary adjustments, and the end result is just incredible. This was the best quote we have ever gotten, but what truly sealed the deal was the professionalism and expertise of the entire Groundwork team, including Matthew, Brandon, Quandarius Turner , and Gabe. We highly recommend them! Mr. And Mrs. Smith

JES is five star. Our Marina had a waterfront building with foundation issues. JES install push piles. After a year, it was decided the foundation needed more support and JES made it right! The real judge of a service provider like JES is their follow up and continuing customer service. Five star!

Thank you to Aaron Kanter, Groundworks Service Technician for recently doing the annual inspection of the foundational work and crawl space liner encapsulation that was previously done at my home. I am incredibly pleased with the level of support Aaron provided to me during the service. Aaron took baseline readings of my home's main floor that will be used in future annual inspections to more precisely measure whether any shifting or movement occurs. Aaron was thorough in his overall evaluation, answered my questions, and provided suggestions as to how Groundworks may be able to help remediate other problems that I described to him. I will definitely request Aaron for future service inspections as well as for any additional work that I take on. Thank you, Aaron and Groundworks. 5 stars for both!

My house has foundation issues I had a professional estimator come out from groundworks Colby and Alex Colby was very professional and explained in detailed and thoroughly and was very friendly and understanding of how stressful it is to have a house with issues especially foundation issues I was impressed because I've dealt with many companies before with bad negative outcomes and experiences this company and Colby was and still is trying to help and go above and beyond they have excellent communication skills and for someone like me who asks many questions he had no problem with communication answering questions and they understand how stressful these type of foundation problems are the communication is by far the best I've seen and I've had to deal with other companies several times over the last couple years this company is definitely one of the best they have computer explanation which is simple the answer questions they did a very very detailed thorough estimates of the house condition that took a couple hours which is good because other companies I was lucky if they spent 15 minutes to somehow come up with an estimate the other companies are not good – compared to this company these guys generally seem like they want to help they did a proper inspection unlike other companies communication here is best they explain things that he doesn't have a problem answering the questions no matter how many I've got and they're trying to help with finance instead of leaving me stranded like other companies they generally seem to care and this is quite rare I highly recommend this company and Colby and Alex are very professional and top notch!

If you need foundation repair this is the company to call! I would like to commend Jay and Karl for their professionalism and customer service while fixing the wrap around deck of my 20 year old home. I was late getting home and they had already consulted with my wife prior to starting work. When I got home I was greeted by Karl who gave me a quick rundown on how the work was going. Jay also showed me how they had already fixed the worst area of the deck and were stabilizing what remained. I felt I was in good hands because they were so happy in what they were doing and had such great attitudes about the work. Their enthusiasm in their job was refreshing to see. I would also like to thank Ethan for coming out for the initial inspection and explaining how the job would go. Both Ethan and Jay explained the 5 year warranty and how it works.

I’m very glad that I decided to get another and final quote from groundwork’s. My first and second bid with some well know contractors did not make me feel great. While I’m not educated about foundation repair, I am able to make decisions with the proper education and without the fear tactics i was getting from other companies. Groundwork’s took the time to explain the issue with the settlement and water around my home and why their solution worked. Involved me in every step and it was easy to look at payment options and get the work scheduled. Specifically thank you to Mitchell ,the inspector that came out, for making this easy and just treating me like a normal person. Thank you guys!
