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.

LJ, Anthony, Kevin and Mike were amazing,! We didn't realize how poorly the basement had been left behind the plywood walls until this crew came to get it sorted. They weren't phased by anything, that level of confidence in a crew was so reassuring for us during this project. The work was done quickly and so thoroughly!

I took on some water in my mechanical room and I wanted to get the folks at Grroundworks to take a look. I wanted to make sure that mold and mildew weren't having a sex party in my basement. Patrick came out and did a full inspection of the outer foundation of my home and assessed the state of my basement. He was happy to report that I had no issues, however, he still took the time to mitigate my concerns and gave me some tips on how I can continue to keep my house/home in tip top shape. Shape. Nobody wants to hear their home is in deep trouble. But groundworks are the people you should talk to every step of the way because they will do the job right, fix it the first time and make sure stuff like this doesn't happen again. Thank you Patrick. Patrick. Thank you groundworks. Please support this local business and just start the conversation.

My overall experience was a great experience with their team! The man that came to give an estimate was thorough and very nice. The men that came to do the work were nice, thorough, knowledgeable (for the most part), and cleanly for the most part. I liked that they put plastic down from my door all the way to the basement. The only thing I could see, was their having trouble putting my basement window back in, but they did stay until it was back in properly. However, there was a mess where they had to get stuff out of window to get it back in, which I cleaned up after they left. Knowledgeable for most part, because I asked a warranty question and they were unsure because they hadn't done the carbon fiber straps for awhile, but he looked up my answer on the spot. Over all this company and their workers were fabulous!!! I wished i could have had the paperwork in hand instead of via an email because its hard to find where to print it out! They did the job promptly and left. Thanks for all the hard work guys and I would recommend anyone to this company!!

From the very beginning of my experience with FRS, I was very pleased with first of all the office girls when I made my date for the free estimate. Then when Michael came to give me the estimate, I was very pleased with his personality and all around knowledge of his business. He was easy to talk to and he answered all of my questions. Lastly, when FRS came to do the work at my house, both Ryan and Mitch were also very friendly and they worked very well together to get the job done. They did an amazing job raising all of the concrete in my garage and the front and back porches. I am very happy with their work and I would recommend this company for any of your concrete problems.

Mike Drebes was fantastic! He came out to assess our sinking back patio and cracks there and in our (also sinking) driveway, walkway, and threshold. He explained well but succinctly what was leading to the issues and the available solutions on the market and how their polymer system was the best and permanent solution, as opposed to a quick fix. Mike worked diligently to get perfect measurements and also took a look at our foundation from the basement to assure us that we didn’t need to pay for more than we actually needed. Talk to Mike Drebes if you need anything regarding foundation/cracks in surrounding concrete slabs/sinking soil.

I have a porch off my house that has been showing signs of settling and separation from the house. I put it for an estimate and Andrew Young came out to inspect, he was much more thorough than I was expecting. Contractors usually take a look and throw a number at you and ask when you want to start the job. Andrew Young actually put on a Tyvek suit and crawled under my porch to take pictures and document the angles of the sloping with a laser level. I was incredibly impressed with his knowledge and dedication. After he put his tools away he actually did a rendering on his laptop of what his suggested solution was going to be to solve the issue permanently. I’m still weighing my options of shoring up my porch or doing a tear down and building a deck but if I choose the shoring up option I have complete faith in GroundWorks thanks to the professionalism shown by Andrew.

*AQUAGUARD'S WORK IS SOLID* The opportunity to improve is on the administrative side. First and foremost, the crews that did the actual work were awesome and FIVE STAR. I had one crew led by Marcus replace my gutters in mid October. Raymond & Brian lifted and stabilized my garage and driveway a week later. They were all professional and did pre/post walk throughs and checked in periodically to let me know what was going on. Their work was excellent. The leads on both crews answered all my questions (even the ones I didn't think to ask) and helped me work out some kinks in the whole process. Some examples of admin issues: – I repeatedly requested a copy of the signed contract (because it was all electronic) and didn't get one until Marcus, the lead on the gutter crew, was kind enough to send me a copy as soon as I asked him. – When the contract was set up, they had the wrong contact information on it. I had to send multiple texts to get at least the contact info correct in the system and I'm still not 100% sure it is correct. – The gutter crew didn't have access to give me credit for materials that didn't get used. The supervisor, Josh, was very helpful in getting that addressed and the paperwork pushed through when I spoke with him. – Something happened when the first crew completed their job that closed out the GreenSky account that was intended to pay for all the projects. Raymond helped me get that all sorted out so I could take full advantage of the 2-yr interest-free Greensky loan instead of having to use other means to pay. – There was a misunderstanding on what work was contracted for on the driveway. I thought that the code on the contract meant stabilize and lift but it didn't. The video I was shown had them also fixing the cracks after the lift which lead me to believe that was included as well. It was not explained that that the lift and crack fix would be separate charges. When Raymond showed up, we talked it through and he went the extra mile and did what he could to get the best result without costing me more money. I have a driveway that I'm happy with. I encourage others to use them. The biggest warning is to make sure you fully understand what each of the line items on the contract mean before you sign.

Nick and Josh showed up in my home yesterday to complete the work on my pool deck, leveling and stabilization. Nick explained in detail what they were going to do and how they were going to stabilize the concrete deck. He was very clear, very professional in how he delivered the information. Josh explained to me some of the techniques they would use to truly make this look professional complete and stable. I was thoroughly impressed with these two fellas and the work that they had accomplished. These two guys are a crackerjack team and should be acknowledged for their work and service. Thank you, Kim Working

Dave & John came out to our house for our regular inspection of a system Innovative installed a couple years ago. They confirmed the system was working perfectly. They also inspected the rest of the house and found the house was tilting towards the walkout side. They recommended settlestop push piers to stabilize the house and keep it locked into place. They explained the problem and solutions clearly and effectively, including the pricing and financing options. I appreciate their thoroughness and straightforward approach. Highly recommend!
