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.

We had a wonderful experience with Groundworks from start to finish. Joey, who did the inspection and estimate, was very polite and professional. He took the time to listen to our concerns and gave us confidence that he truly understood what needed to be done to stabilize our 106-year-old home. Foundation work can be overwhelming and expensive, but Joey was honest, knowledgeable, and helped us feel at ease about the investment needed to help our home stand strong for another 100 years. The crew who completed the work—Aaron, Kody, and Jacob—were exceptional. They are three of the most polite and respectful men I’ve ever met. Aaron kept us informed every step of the way. He called each morning with an ETA, explained exactly what they would be doing, and was always willing to answer questions. He even welcomed us to observe their work, which we really appreciated. These men showed up ready to work and worked hard the entire time. Even when unexpected issues came up, they handled everything professionally without hesitation. When the job was complete, Aaron walked us through all the work that had been done and once again took the time to answer any questions or concerns. My husband and I are very pleased not only with the quality of the work but also with the cleanup afterward. We would highly recommend this company and crew to anyone needing foundation work—they truly know what they are doing. And on a personal note, I really appreciated that I did not hear any foul language during the entire process. It’s refreshing to see such professionalism and courtesy. There truly are still some gentlemen left in this world.

Stephen C. and his crew, Matt F. Isaiah F. Justin P. completely transformed my crawl space into a masterpiece. So glad I went with FSM because of the quality work these guys did in 2 days. Hard working crew that didn’t mess around and got the job done well. They even patched/secured my heater ducts that were falling down. They went above and behind and it was truly appreciated. Thank you from the Mader family!

Went with this local waterproofing service after a friend recomended them, and I have to say it worked out pretty well. The crew showed up on time and walked me thru what they were doing, which helped me feel more relaxed about the whole thing. Basement used to get a little damp after heavy rain, but since they finished the job it’s been dry and doesn’t have that musty smell anymore. Price felt fair for the work, and everyone was friendly enough. Not overly fancy, just solid work, I’d definately use them again if I needed it.

We had a great experience with Alpha Foundations from start to finish. Our home required a piling encasement due to a split piling—something that understandably got our attention. Our realtor recommended Alpha, and the team responded quickly and professionally. They showed up on time, ready to work, and clearly knew what they were doing. Along the way, we did run into a small hiccup—some grout leakage during the install. But what really stood out was how the team handled it. The root cause (a joint alignment issue) was identified, they took ownership, and resolved it the right way. No excuses—just problem-solving and follow-through. By the end, everything was properly sealed, the work area was clean, and the job was done with care. Most importantly, the team maintained a positive attitude throughout—there were even a few smiles and light moments along the way, which we appreciated. All in all, a professional, responsive, and customer-focused team. We’d gladly recommend Alpha Foundations. — Bob
