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 Ohio Basement Authority install a system in our basement 5 years ago. Today was our last inspection before we re-sign for an additional 5 years inspection package. The technician Mike Davies was courteous, clean, knowledgeable and on time. I appreciate the job he performed in checking our system and continue to be impressed with the quality employees at Ohio Basement Authority. I would recommend them to anyone!

Matt Carter did a thorough inspection of my crawl space detailed with pictures and videos of the issues I had. Did an excellent job of explaining the findings of his inspection in a way that would have let anyone who knows nothing about crawl spaces follow along. He explained, in detail, the necessary steps needed to resolve the issues. If you ever need to reach out to AFS in the Huntsville area, ask for Matt!

JES hooked us up. We had some complications with foundation repair and waterproofing with the way our basement/stairs were oriented, but Rafael Garcia, Jose Lovato, and Wilton Mendoza went above and beyond working around our stairs and getting the job done. What could have been an expensive workaround and follow up job was skillfully averted saving us a lot of heartache and money. I was at away for most of the job, but Jose and Rafael were great about communicating the progress and work to be done. These guys were great — would definitely recommend!!

AFS (David, Bobby, and Jesus) did a very good job communicating their arrival and departure times. They took the time to explain the process and what we could expect. They were tasked with installing 13 helical posts. All areas were dug by hand, the removed soil set aside and restored like I would. They kept saying that they treat each home as if it were their own. Job well done.

Scheduling was a bit rough but I own part of that as it was hard to make myself available for the 2 days scheduled to install the 5 push pillars in the sagging kitchen addition. But Charles W., Vinnie S., and Solomon arrived in time and had them installed in 4 hours! The next day they came super early to wait for the permit inspector, all cleared, replaced the landscaping and the deck boards. Perfect! I hope I don’t ever need them again but if I do, they are the ones I will call for any of my basement or foundation issues

My partner and I just purchased our first home and noted some concerns in the basement. Water intrusion, and a rotted out beam. We had another company come out and give us a bid but it felt like a sales pitch the entire time and didn’t actually provide us with the insight we needed to make an informed decision about our basement and how to proceed. Groundworks was the complete opposite! Our inspector Logan J. was phenomenal – he is so knowledgeable about structural issues and pointed out major red flags that the other company completely skipped over AND our home inspector prior to our purchase didn’t find. We are so incredibly thankful he came out and provided us with the understanding of how structural systems work and very clear ways we can remedy the situation. Because of Logan J., we have a clear plan and we know our home will be in great hands! 🙌

I hired Baker's Waterproofing when a recent plumber found a leak possibly in my foundation and recommended them to me. Baker's initial inspection uncovered that my foundation was built of cinderblocks and was leaking water from the hill behind my home as well as groundwater from below. They scheduled the work and sent out Victor and Miguel to complete a full waterproofing, French drain, pump installation and backup system. From start to finish of this project with Baker's Waterproofing, every person I spoke to was extremely professional, everything was explained clearly and concisely, and pricing was not only competitive, but extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of work completed. Special thanks to the incredibly hardworking, polite, and professional Victor and Miguel. I highly recommend asking for them by name to ensure your work is done quickly but completely.

This is a great company. Robert Steele came out to inspect our place after one year. Minimal adjustments needed. He is very knowledgeable, as is everyone we have worked with at Groundworks. Mike Row was right. Also, this is a dirty job done by professionals who know the business and how to help you get the results you need for your foundation. It’s expensive but a worthy investment.
