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 recently had AquaGuard address a moisture issue in my basement, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the first consultation, their team demonstrated exceptional knowledge and professionalism. They took the time to thoroughly assess the situation and clearly explained the root cause and the best solutions. Blake did an outstanding job walking me through the process, presenting the options in a way that was easy to understand and pressure-free. Once the plan was in place, Kurt, the installer, led the team with precision and care. His attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the project. The AquaGuard team worked efficiently, kept the workspace clean, and minimized disruptions. Now, my basement is dry, and I no longer have to worry about moisture issues. I’m incredibly satisfied with their work and highly recommend AquaGuard for anyone dealing with basement moisture problems!

There was a crack in the foundation in my crawl space. I had received 3 estimates, all with 3 different solutions. I sure was confused. I contacted a few other companies and finally I called Ohio Basement Authority. Nick took his time and thoroughly explained the issue and provided a solution. He was the only one that measured both the crawl space and the room above it and determined that the crack was not a threat to the foundation, explaining why there was not a reason to do anything at this time. I did decide to have the crawl space encapsulated. Nick's team was very courteous and respectful while in my home and completed the job in a timely manner. Don't waste your time in contacting other companies. Nick at Ohio Basement Authority knows his stuff and has the best team ever!

We had some settling issues and asked 3 firms for repair estimates. Though AFS wasn’t the least expensive Jesse spent the time to work up the plan that specifically met our needs and explained what their crew would do. When Dustin and his crew arrived they walked us through what they were going to do, updated us along the way and provided photos and explanations of their work. We had never had this kind of work done before but feel we made the right decision to go with AFS. They were professional all along the way.

My husband and I just purchased an older home and were unpleasantly surprised of the condition of the crawlspace on our inspection report (see screenshot attached in the photos – this space was almost a deal breaker on buying the house because of the mold). After talking to AFS, we decided it was best to treat the mold then fully encapsulate everything for 1. storage 2. long-term energy savings and 3. (most importantly) cleaner air to breathe in every day. Ben, Angel, Mario, and Israel did an amazing job on our large crawlspace (see other pictures)! What was supposed to be a 2-day job was completed in 1 day and all questions we had about the work were answered instantly! We are incredibly happy with it and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders as new homeowners!

I want to complement JES and Denis Bermudez for their professionalism and high integrity. Just two days after signing a contract with JES for concrete listing, I received word that my job was being eliminated. Denis was very understanding and right away canceled the project and processed a refund of my deposit. This is the kind of company I can trust and will recommend to others. Andy T

Good day, Kevin, I am happy to report the job went as planned, and the staff were exceptional! Brandon and Imani are quite a team. Professional, knowledgeable, polite, considerate and motivated. I felt like I had family taking care of the repairs on my home. They kept me updated and explained as they progressed what they had done and what was to come. Even with the rain, they managed to stay on schedule. After the initial inspection by Chris and a thorough explanation of their recommendations to correct my foundation and having had similar work done by another company in the past, I deceided to proceed with BAU. 11 plates and pins with an additional 26 screw-jacks has leveled the entire house. I could not be more pleased with the entire experience…AND MY BEDROOM DOOR CLOSES!! I would and already have recommended this company to others. If you need foundation work, you will get an excellent job at an excellent price from BAU/Groundworks. I would gladly award SEVEN STARS! They are that good! Nora Flynn

Brian L. Garrett W. And Anthony R we're all great guys and super professional. They walked me through the whole thing in depth in terms I could understand, including the things that they couldn't do due to the house being the way it is. They even took the time to call my fiance at work to explain everything to him. I highly recommend Bakers Waterproofing, especially this team of guys!

My husband and I had a great experience with Mount Valley! Brandon did our initial consultation. He was timely, thorough, and answered all our questions professionally. We had work done on two separate days and again everyone who showed up had amazing customer service. Will, Jimmy, Ober, Austin, and Michael all answered any questions we had without making us feel like we were in the way. They actually encouraged us to ask questions and watch the process to make sure we understood what was happening to our house. I also have peace of mind about my home with the transferable warranty.
