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.

Jason was extremely professional with regard to his maintenance visit this morning. He went over everything he did, provided "what to do if" advice and took the time to answer our questions. We were very impressed! Give him a raise (time to buy a new guitar)! Our experience with Ohio Basement Authority has been top notch.

Groundworks about a month ago (BQ) came out with their team (Steve , Pedro, Tim and Chris) to install a French Drain System…they were an impressive team. Very Professional …and are dialed with their working process. I had pulled up the Asbestos tile and got the basement space ready for them. I was amazed at how much work they were able to complete in the amount of time on the job ! excellent clean up …and quality of work very high…granted the cost to install the French Drain was not inexpensive but definitely a very smart project to finally get completed for the house. I would highly recommend they for their work scope(s)

Groundwork Rep came out to inspect our home for a couple of areas of concerns we have had recently. A friend had foundation repair recently and gave a hearty recommendation to us for Groundworks. The Representative, Chris Stewart, gave our home a very thorough, detailed review of the foundation areas of concern and after careful exam, gave a report of Groundworks plan to stabilize our foundation. The bid was broken down into the three areas of concern, then he worked with us on the financing. My husband I were impressed with the professionalism and expertise of Groundwork Rep and appreciative that there was no high pressure sales pitch.

David and Cruz came out today to complete the stabilization. The steel piers had already been completed. Excellent work! I'm an insurance adjuster and deal with foundation quite frequently. Groundworks did an excellent job. Many thanks to Jay Brooks and the two crews. They asked about my expectations before they started and made sure that they exceeded my expectations before they left. That's the way it should be done.
