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.

I’m really happy with the work and conduct of the JES team. I hired them to install 6 pilings to stabilize a garage I had built 4 years ago. They arrived on time, and sent me a text on both mornings when they arrived. The crew was led by Santos Cruz, who was pleasant to speak with and was knowledgeable about the work being done. He answered all of my questions before and during the process. His team consisted of David Allerdings, Lucas Batista, and Joseph Wooten. All of the guys were very tolerant of my two Dogs who occasionally were sniffing and barking around the job site. Even though several of the holes were 5+ feet deep, they did a great job keeping them close to the building in an attempt to not dig up more than needed. The finished job looked very good, and except for the loss of grass, looked almost untouched. Additionally they buried a downspout pipe that had been previously laid on top of the ground which was a nice touch to finish off the job.

We had our Radon mitigation completed through Groundworks. Micheal C. was the representative that came out to do the initial consult, testing, and planning. He went over the findings and how the mitigation system would be installed and how it would work. An appointment for installation was quickly arranged. Brady A., Stefan G., and Davis P. were the crew that installed the system. They called ahead of time to let me know their estimated time of arrival. They took the time to explain the process, what would be happening and why. They kept me updated and ensured I knew what was going on. Once completed, they ensured I understood how the system worked and any answered any trouble shooting questions. The workspace was left clean and a clear plan was established to follow up should there be any issues. Overall, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Thank you!

We had foundation repairs completed at our home today, and I cannot say enough good things about the crew — Tyler, Ryan, Kevin, and Giovanni. These men worked tirelessly all day long with incredible professionalism and dedication. They communicated clearly and effectively throughout the entire process, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood what was being done every step of the way. Not only were they hardworking and knowledgeable, but they were also extremely polite and respectful of our home and property. It is rare to find a crew with such a strong work ethic and positive attitude. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right. Thank you again, Tyler, Ryan, Kevin, and Giovanni, for your outstanding work and excellent customer service!

Aaron and Londynn arrived to help with a sloping patio addition, and also to level the driveway as it enters our garage. We knew the patio was going to be a challenging job; I already had a structural engineer give us her opinion about possible fixes. When Aaron looked at things, he had concerns about columns for an overhanging arbor which were piercing the patio slab, believing that these could be significant friction points during slab jacking. Unfortunately, and despite applying many tons of lifting force on the edge of the patio with jacks, the slab refused to budge. His concern at that point was that the slab would fracture at the weak point where the columns pierced the slab. With his recommendation. we elected to stop the lift at that point. Only a little disappointed, I realized his expertise had truly saved us from an unhappy result. They did inject foam to stabilize the patio at its current position, until we decide if a full replacement is in the cards. They then moved on to leveling the driveway slabs where it enters the garage. This part of the job was fast and very straightforward. They replaced all the deteriorating wooden strips at expansion joints. Everything there looks A++. We were charged only what we had placed as a downpayment for the entire job, despite them spending as much time at my home as they might have, had everything gone 100%. At the end of the day, I can say that I am very happy with the work that Aaron, London, and Groundworks did for us. And I am particularly impressed with the expertise of the men that Groundworks sent to take care of us. Although we weren't able to get done everything we'd hoped, I can confidently say that I would wholeheartedly recommend them for minimally invasive lifts of slabs, foundations, and driveways.

We started with Zach, who set everything up to have our foundation slightly raised and stabilized. Unfortunately the work was postponed due to Hurricane Milton. However, Zach kept us informed about the permit progress. The work crew was Jake, Charles, Alberto, and Tori. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Jake explained everything that they would be doing. They left the work area perfect. I would recommend Alpha Foundations to my friends.
