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 contacted Foundation Support Specialists after noticing a couple of cracks on the walls in my home. I scheduled an appointment to inspect the foundation and possibly obtain a quote for repairs in the event damage was found. Ethan Hall arrived as scheduled and took the time to thoroughly explain the process and the work that needed to be done. He was extremely knowledgeable about their service and very polite. I accepted the quote and have scheduled a date for the work to be done. I will update my review once the work has been completed. There were no high-pressure sales pitches for unneeded work. I would recommend contacting Ethan if you have any foundation concerns.

The guys from Groundworks, Mark the forman and his crew Robert, Ruben, Daniel M. Kamani C. Trae H. and Marques installed a basement gutter system in our Plenum. Given that it is a 2 foot deep, at best, basement with no room to use conventional jackhammering equipment, the job was quite challenging for the guys. They showed up every day on time and work hard throughout the day with no complaining that was conveyed to me. They were all very professional and friendly and a pleasure to have in our home.

We had a mold issue under in house, damp crawl space. We called Alpha Foundations, they were prompt to reply. I am a building contractor in Florida and have very little experience in crawl space issues. That was put to rest when "Dylan" arrived, he was very knowledgeable. He explained in depth the procedure on what was needed to be done. After careful thought we called him and signed up. We were scheduled in. When the crew arrived (Andrew, Woody and Ryan) they all introduced themselves and explained everything that was going to happen, including pictures of the work as it progressed. When they were under the house working you could hear them working ( note: we were not intentionally trying to listen we were just up there). There was no negative talk or cussing just business. I would highly recommend this company and will if I get the chance. Robert & Lisa M.

Groundworks made me feel comfortable, informed, and safe from the very beginning. We needed our foundation repaired and these guys did their jobs phenomenally and with grace. Three guys came out and did the job. They were very educational when I had questions, they were excellent with my family, and got the work done fast. I couldn’t have asked for anything better than what Harold Ward, Frank Lopez, and Elmo Orozoco offered. Very satisfied customer!

Groundworks inspector, Kevin, was very courteous and respectful of my time. Called the evening before and the morning of to confirm inspection time, and arrived on time. Kevin carefully reviewed what the inspection would entail, and then did a thorough inspection of our house foundation and driveway, including detailed measurements of driveway subsidence. Thanks to Kevin, our experience dealing with Groundworks has been nothing but positive.

I recently had AquaGuard complete some foundation repairs at my house. The initial encounter with the salesperson, Kevin Arbogast, was so good that i cancelled the other companies that I'd scheduled for a quote. Once the day of the repair arrived, I was kept aware of the arrival time. The communication from Samarie, Trae, and Curtis was excellent. They did a great job and I would recommend AquaGuard to anyone and I will use them again if I need anything.

I had my crawlspace encapsulated several years ago, along with adding a dehumidifier and a sump pump. It is such an improvement, I'm always glad I had it done. At our recent annual inspection maintenance, our service technician Thomas Boswell was on time, polite and thorough in his work. Good job!

Awesome customer service! I worked with Bob Liga to get a quote for lifting some older concrete slabs. Super friendly. Very thorough and patient with all my questions. While I wasn't able to move forward with the project due to circumstances outside our control, Bob still made sure I understood their process and what was occurring both in- and outside my home. Would recommend to family and friends!
