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.

Todd was great helping us with an estimate re: what we needed to do. Very professional and thorough. Very responsive to my many questions and kept me informed as things progressed. Bryce and Eli did an amazing job with fixing the entryways and driveways. They exceeded our expectations, working hard and very meticulous. We definitely will be using them next year on more units in our HOA. Shirley and the Falcon Ridge HOA.

We highly recommend Tanner with AFS. He spent over four hours thoroughly inspecting our home and crawlspace, carefully checking for cracks, measuring areas, and documenting everything in detail. Tanner prepared a clear printout of our home and walked us through each concern step by step, explaining what he found and what repairs may be needed. He was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions without rushing. We truly appreciated how thorough and respectful he was during the inspection process. His attention to detail and clear explanations gave us confidence in understanding the condition of our crawlspace and the next steps. If you want someone who is honest, careful, and extremely thorough, Tanner is an excellent choice.

The team was great, especially the leads Earle, Austin, and CJ. They give you a heads up on their ETA, introduce themselves and the plan to ensure they carry out the agreement you had with the first PoC who for me was Jarret Perkins. Also a very great guy as well who will ensure your questions and overall inquiries are taken care of before, during, and after the service! The team who worked even took the time to save the plants that were near the work area and cut around the stone entrance I have so I can put it back together instead of making their lives easier and cut straight through that area of the home. They were even kind enough to seal a small chip in the driveway with the cement they used to close back the holes they made. Which by the way you can’t even see they even worked on due to how they were capable of cleaning and setting EVERYTHING back together. After the service they themselves asked if there was anything else I needed taken care of, as well as were patient (after a long day of work) to answer any questions I had. Still a day or two after the work was completed FSS called to make sure everything was no less than satisfactory. As well as ask you specific questions to ensure the team that came out executed what they were expected to the company’s standards and if not so they can review it in their next meeting. I could tell FSS strives to be the best and are always looking to improve. FSS truly cares for you and ensures you’re left feeling good about the service. They’ll take care of your home as if it were their own.

We had a service visit from Garrett Williams, and he was so helpful! Even though I've had a hard time getting in touch with the rest of the company (and frankly some frustrating experiences that I hope will be resolved soon so I can change this review!), Garrett has been very responsive and thorough in answering my many questions. He is definitely a great asset to the company. Thanks Garrett!!

The technician, Nick, did the annual maintenance for 206 Washington Street. He was awesome! Not only was he courteous, kind, knowledgeable about what he was doing, he was able to save me money on a mishap that was about to happen. He observed a bulge in my washer machine line that was about to pop and create a major catastrophe. He was able to resolve the issue until I can get it addressed. Nick was polite and explained what he had done and allowed me to ask questions as needed. I will certainly tell other individuals about your service and how dedicated your employees are about keeping the product maintained and keep the customer informed.

This is Bill H. in Richmond, KY. Recently I contacted AFS Foundation & Waterproofing requesting their free inspection of the concerns I have with a crack forming on the bricks next to my garage door and a patio that soon will have the loose tiles repaired by removing and then having new tiles installed. TJ Langley, their inspector called and set up an appointment. In the rain, Mr Langley set up a lazer and measured my foundation all around the area were cracked bricks next to my garage door are. He determined the issue wasn't the foundation but instead the medal angle iron above the door. I was impressed that he didn't sell me a service I didn't need. The patio was another matter. It appeared the only issue was it needed the treatment to prevent further settling. He offered their service to correct that problem and we scheduled their people to come out. I paid the typical 30% down. So in preparation to stabilize the patio slab I had my tile laying contractor come out and remove the 300 sq. ft. of tile so the AFS technician could better see what issues there are with the slab. That's when I discovered the hidden condition of the slab. It is not usable because it is crumbling and in no condition to be repaired. I called Mr. Langley and told him what I had discovered. He gracefully refunded the down payment and canceled the contract. In my opinion this company is the kind of company you want to deal with. I am very impressed and thankful.

I'd give so many more stars if I possibly could! We were so very pleased with the entire Rescon Basement Solutions experience. Bob came to our house and assessed our basement/bulkhead wall issues. We were involved in any decisions and were given a very honest, complete quote and a scheduled date for the work to be done. Unfortunately, before the scheduled date, we had a very heavy rain and water poured into our basement. Bob from Rescon gave us advice on how to handle that and Alexa was able to move the work date up to help us out of a big jam. Patrick, Jake and Tim arrived promptly to get the work started. They were very professional and explained absolutely everything they were going to be doing. They set up plastic tarps to keep the rest of our basement clean and did a fantastic job. When they completed the work, they went over all of the new equipment and explained everything to us. We were happy with every part of this project. Cannot recommend Rescon enough!!!!

Chance Bender, Donovan Birks, and Chaastin Antwine did an outstanding job repairing the sagging floor under my house. Their work on the joists was done professionally and with great attention to detail. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. They showed up ready to work, stayed efficient throughout the job, and made sure everything was solid and secure before finishing. The difference is noticeable right away—the floor feels strong and level again. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and their professionalism. These guys definitely deserve recognition. Highly recommend them to anyone needing this kind of work done. Aslp, Rick Holt did an excellent job handling my annual maintenance and inspection. He was very thorough, taking the time to carefully check everything and make sure nothing was overlooked. He explained what he was doing along the way and pointed out anything that might need attention in the future, which I really appreciated. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and wants to make sure everything is safe and running properly. Professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented—Rick did a great job, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone needing maintenance or an inspection!
