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.

From consultation through completion of work, everyone was the consummate professional. The installer’s work exceeded expectations. Every stage of work was thoroughly explained. Truly, I didn’t know that there was so much junk in my crawl space to be removed. Nonetheless, all loose items were removed.The installation to include removing junk was a full three days. I would definitely recommend the full package to include dehumidifier as advertised. Now, I wait for return on investment ((ROI) – lowering of inside dust and energy efficiency. Work performed by Robert Dunn, Dylan Livingston and Victoria Valentin Thanks again

A couple months ago I posted about my experience with Groundworks and Ashton. After my initial encounter and planning when would work best to have the work I needed down I finally had it completed today. I have had nothing but the best experience with Groundworks. From my initial free estimate phone call to my last good-bye from the group of gentleman who worked on my project. I had a group of superb men on my project the past couple days. Kaleb (Foreman), Christian, and Ethan were so efficient, helpful, and their communication as well as friendly nature was everything I could have asked for! They let me know they were on their way and their ETA. Once they arrived I was introduced to the group and walked through step by step on what their plan was. They made sure all my questions were answered. These gentleman work straight through the day. I never heard them stop once. Honestly I could go on and on about these men and how great my experience was. The project was completed earlier than expected and they even cleaned up after themselves. I sincerely appreciate them and their work. I do recommend Groundworks to any and everyone who need foundation work as I did. I am planning on using them for another service in the near future! Thank you so much Kaleb, Christian, and Ethan for all your hard work and efficiency!

Sean and Chris were great. Showed up on time and gave me a heads up call when they were on the way. They walked me through the process and kept me informed throughout then also did a walkthrough at the end to make sure I was satisfied. My driveway, sidewalk and entry steps are finally fixed and looking great. Thank you to Sean and Chris for their hard work!

Foundation Recovery System Certified Field Inspector Doug Helfrich set the bar high for foundation inspectors. I called 2 other companies out to my Mom’s house to inspect her foundation due to a couple of cracks and a small puddle of water on the slab floor from the water main & basement spigot in the foundation’s front stem wall, and got 2 bids. Then came Doug..!! Doug throughly inspected the whole basement, from all 4 stem walls to the foundation slab floor. Doug is a professional, he’s extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in detail from small cracks inn the slab to the water leaking in from the front slab spigot, to things to keep an eye on, and/or future repairs that ‘may be needed’. What started out as a call that I expected to get another foundation quote for $10,000.00 – $15,000.00 turned out to be only a $200.00 fix to repack and reseal the water main & spigot in the front stem wall. Mom’s foundation was still solid. Talk about good news stress relief … if you need Foundation Repair this is the ONLY company to trust & call: FOUNDATION RECOVERY SYSTEMS & ask them to send Doug Helfrich…!! And tell them *SuperFan Jan told you call. Stephen SuperFan Jan’s Son *This MLB season is SuperFan Jan’s 68th Consecutive StL Cardinals Home Opener

This review is for Jesse Thrash out of the Charlotte Dry-Pro location. He was so informative and helpful with all aspects of the situation at our home. He spent 2 1/2 hours with us, inspecting our home and telling us about some things we didn't know about our home and things we had to put some attention towards immediately. Very smart and very professional. I would recommend him to everyone.

Joshua Gaddy came to fix where the pipe coming out of the house was cut off and not taken care of properly to keep water from coming back in the house and letting the sump pump run every 15 seconds. Temporary fix and said someone would be back to fix it in the spring when the ground wasn't frozen. Your company needs something better than heat tapes for the pipe not freezing, after all we live in Michigan. Cam was told by someone to cut it off but not what to do so water wouldn't gush out on the ground right next to my house with no place to go. Joshua did the best he could for now. I wasn't happy with the problem, being I spent so much to keep water out and ruining my foundation. The job was done nicely until the pipe froze.

JES came in to waterproof my basement, which is a huge job, as they had to put a drain around the full perimeter of my basement and install a vapor barrier in a fully finished basement. This was after I had visible mold. The person who came in for the quote, Brendan, didn't try to sell me a whole bunch of extra stuff, told me straight up how it works, what they were going to do, and did so in a timely manner. He was very helpful with all my questions and woes. The crew that came out, the foreman Abdul, co-foreman Joseph, and installer Nilton were all professional and completed the job quickly and efficiently. I knew there was mold still in the wall, so they took the whole wall down; most companies would not do that, nor would they put the steps back, which they did the best they could, which I was very happy about, because there was mold hiding all the way up the wall behind some of the studs. They worked with all my needs, scheduled the job, and completed the job to my satisfaction over about a two-week period. Most other companies were 6 weeks out to schedule a job. They did all of this, pulled permits, and had it inspected for a better or same price than two other direct competitors.
