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.

Chad came to my home to give an estimate on my foundation repair. He was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, explained how the process worked (even showed me pictures of the different products that would be used and how they worked), he showed me how much floor drop I actually had, he was very helpful and made me feel confident with my choice to hire groundwork’s!! I would definitely recommend having Chad come out to give an estimate on any repairs that you might need!!

After putting it off, I knew the cracks in my home were becoming more indicative of a foundation issue. JES had appointments available immediately, and were able to accommodate my schedule. Joe came out and did a full, detailed inspection. It felt like a conversation between friends, with no-nonsense and thorough explanations through the whole process. I felt confident in the findings of the inspection, and booked the job to be completed!

Great experience with these guys on my foundation repairs! Lots of time was spent during every step explaining the process and answering my million questions. The field inspector that originally came out was very thorough and kind and continued to answer all my questions days later. The day of install my driveway was covered in snow and the crew even shoveled it all for me! I had some questions after install and the foreman was very helpful and polite answering all my questions. I also had a call after installation from the production manager who followed up on the work and he was nice enough to come out to inspect and make sure my concerns were addressed before remodeling took place. All the various people I worked with were very professional and kind. Highly recommend!

I contracted with Tarheel Basement Systems to place a drain system in my basement which has been damp and gross for years. Robbie, Terrence, and Keaton were prompt, courteous, and efficient. Robbie explained the system in a way that I understood. After they were done they cleaned up thoroughly. The process from start to finish was well-managed and there were no hidden charges or pressure for add-ons.

I have a 125 year old house. The house has been neglected for 50 years. Last year, Ground Works installed 7 posts in my basement to stabilize the house (its on a big hill). They came back this year to check that all was well and found that it was NOT. They then reinstalled the posts and a wall in the basement that was bowing. They worked REALLY hard. They had planned to work and accomplish the fix in 2 days but it took them 4 days and they worked all day everyday (including Saturday). Joseph actually tore his rotator cuff banging away on the rocks around my house. Jeremy took over for poor Joseph and Martin finished up the job on Monday. They were pleasant and considerate and professional. They clearly explained everything they were doing and why it needed doing. I really couldn't have asked for better.

Brian and Daniel came to lift concrete at the house. They both were very customer oriented and professional. In a situation that was important to us, they did everything and more to correct the situation. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, they get a solid 10! Also in the beginning with Tyler, he did a great job coordinating the project with the company! All in all, great service from Aqua Guard!

I was dealing with some noticeably bouncy floors around my home, so I reached out to Groundworks. They sent out Dalten, who was incredibly knowledgeable. He inspected the entirety of my crawlspace and took detailed elevations, which revealed significant sagging. He also pointed out that several wood posts were actually buried in the dirt and starting to rot. To fix the issue, he recommended installing IntelliJacks to replace the failing posts and adding a new beam supported by two additional IntelliJacks to stabilize my hallway. I can’t say enough good things about Foreman Roger and his crew, Santos and Juan. They showed up ready to work and efficiently installed everything exactly as outlined in the contract. It’s clear these guys take pride in what they do. I highly recommend Groundworks if you want a team that sticks to their word and refuses to cut corners. My floors feel solid again!
