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.

Delivered exactly as promised. I ended up not having to use their services but, our service representative really delivered. Jake McCurdy was prompt and provided the most thorough “free” inspection service I have ever received. He did not try to sale me things unnecessarily. He presented his findings, educated me on the options and risks if I did not go with the repairs. It was a memorable experience-wish I had called them before I finished my basement. I am currently going to try to eliminate the problem at the source. If that doesn’t work- I will be calling FSM back.

We had an absolutely positive experience from David, our salesman, as well as the crew. Collin, the crew foreman, was very responsive to any questions, concerns and greeted us each morning on the jobsite. Collin also, let us know what to expect the following day, and kept us well informed to the progress of the project while on site. I highly recommend IBA to anyone looking to have their crawlspace or anything "basementy"! Thanks David and crew! After the encapsulation, I might even venture into our clean, non-musty smelly, critter free crawlspace! I am most excited for warmer floors!! Whoop, whoop!

Over the winter , my pvc pump outlets came up through the ground and was not sloped properly away from my garage. I called to have them look at the issue. Jeremy came out and recognized the problem immediately. He got his tools out and re-dug the trench while adding the proper slope. After fixing the issue, Jeremy raked up the gravel and dirt filling in the trench. When done you would have never known that we had an issue. Jeremy was very professional, on time and polite. Great man to have on your team.

We met James at a recent home show and he was very personable and professional. He answered all our questions and conducted a thorough inspection of our foundation needs. We are retired and on fixed incomes. He was not pushy, looking only to make "the sale." We recommend James and FSM.

Mark Beamer and Chris Coulbourne were so transparent and honest throughout the process of lifting my mom's (badly sunken) driveway and garage. We are now about four months out after the work was complete and it has stayed very secure and looks wonderful. There are many people in the world who will take advantage of those who are less fortunate and I am always afraid my mom will run into these types, and she does, but this was not one of those dreaded situations. Thank you guys for taking great care of her!

Austin, their inspector, was absolutely fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the subject. The service took about an hour and a half, and he was very thorough with his inspection, creating a model of my home with measurements input so I could visualize his findings and their proposed solutions. Austin was prompt, polite, informative and thorough in his explanations and helpful with answering my various questions about the solution, the technology, and approach, and gave me a quote on-site at time of inspection. I highly recommend AFS for anyone who may need any of their various services.

Called IFS to schedule an inspection of our crawl space & was able to get an immediate appointment. Connor Avera contacted us to confirm he would be meeting with us. He arrived on time & explained the process before the inspection. Afterwards he sat down to explain in detail what he found, what needed attention & what solutions were applicable. Connor was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, very professional with no high pressure sales tactics. He thoroughly walked us through the entire process and answered all our questions.
