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 was experiencing basement flooding from all the snow melting and rain that’s been going on recently and came across Groundwork’s doing some research on getting it fixed. From the very beginning assessment to the end of the job everything was handled very well. We needed a sump pump installed in the basement and our basement was already finished so they took care of the demo that was needed to do the job as well as disposing of the construction material. The crew we had was Jose, Clarence and Mat and from the beginning they were very professional and happy to help explain the process every step of the way, and every day before leaving they made sure to clean up as best they could not to leave any mess. We also ran into some issues with the Town but Groundwork’s took care of everything and got the job moving smoothly again. Overall was very happy with how it turned out they did a very clean and professional job and I would definitely have them work on any future house I may get that needs work done!

I recently had the pleasure of working with TJ from AFS Foundation Services for an inspection of my crawl space in Louisville, Kentucky. TJ was incredibly thorough and professional, addressing several concerns including water intrusion, termite damage, and mold/fungus issues. He also pointed out rotting wood and cracked floor joists, all of which were explained in detail. His clear explanations and expert advice were invaluable in helping me understand the extent of the issues and the necessary steps to address them. I highly recommend TJ and the team at AFS Foundation Services for their dedication, expertise, and outstanding service. K&A Groves Middletown, Kentucky

Daniel and Dustin performed professionally during the repair. They worked clean and efficiently. They answered all my questions with knowledge. They showed up on time even with moderate rain. I was worried that I would have rescheduled the appointment due to inclement weather. The cost of repair beat the cost time and hassle of replace. The finished repair met my expectations

Alpha Foundations are the folks to call. The outstanding Alpha Foundations experience began with Ked’s arrival at our home. Ked listened to our concerns about the foundation and then conducted a very thorough inspection of not only the affected area but non-affected areas. Ked provided a complete and understandable explanation of the issues and a recommendation for stabilizing the foundation. His professionalism and clear communications really helped us decide to proceed. The excellent experience continued when Tyler, Gio, and Ryan arrived to install the push piers. Tyler provided a clear explanation of the process and gave me a timeline for its completion. These guys were very professional and took fantastic care of the landscaping while digging the holes and installing the push piers. Once when I was checking on their progress, Gio and Ryan showed me how the piers are pushed into the ground and the brackets support and fully stabilize the foundation. The next step of lifting the foundation went flawlessly. Tyler kept us fully informed of progress. They ended the stabilization process and did a phenomenal job resetting the landscaping and cleaning up the area. The final step of injecting a two-part urethane polymer into the area under the foundation for added stability and better weight distribution was done by Tory and Chris. These guys were at the top of their game and achieved phenomenal results. Their professionalism and skill were plainly evident from the moment they arrive. The cleanup after the job was so good you could not tell they were even there. Bottom line, from start to finish the Alpha Foundations team is head and shoulders above the competition. The professionalism of their staff is great and the quality of the work beyond compare. If you have an issue with your foundation or any of the areas they cover you will be glad you called them.

They aren’t even finished with our project yet, they’re about to end day 1/2 and I am impatient and just had to say this. My husband and I are newlyweds. We are young, inexperienced with contractors, and we were nervous because all we hear about are horror stories of people who come to work on something at your home. These guys are beyond incredible. The entire company is obviously so competent, professional and passionate. Everyone from Ben Sizemore who gave us 4 HOURS OF HIS TIME to sit down with us and go through every detail of this project, down to the foreman Trent Baker who headed up his team of 3 guys as they’ve spent the entire day working. I’m blown away by everyone’s kindness, cleanliness, professionalism, etc. and these are young men!! They all deserve raises, compliments, and when (not if because you must) you hire them, go to the store and buy them snacks and drinks. They deserve it. I wish this company did regular home renovations because it feels like it can only go down from here haha! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our very first home improvement a wonderful experience. I’m so beyond grateful. I’ll update my review after they’re all finished. I know it’ll be even better tomorrow. 🤍

As far as the foundation work itself—I think I’m pleased. We had one side of the house done a little over a year ago, and the other side completed just a few weeks ago. Everything looked good at first, until I noticed how poorly the French drain’s corrugated pipe had been reinstalled. To their credit, they were kind when I called, returned my message promptly, and even brought me extra black pipe so I wouldn’t have to buy it myself. That part I appreciated. However, when we originally had the work done, we specifically asked that the pipe be reinstalled close to the house because we plant our garden in that area every year. The whole section near the house was dug up, but instead of reinstalling the pipe properly—while they had everything exposed—they left large holes in the pipe, didn’t level it for proper drainage, buried it unevenly (some spots were six inches deep, others barely two), and failed to reconnect it properly to the downspout. I’m getting foundation work done—the last thing I need is poor drainage. If you're going to do a sloppy job, at least let me know before covering it all back up. Instead, I had to figure everything out when I started planting my garden. What should’ve been a simple day of planting turned into several days of digging. Now I’m redoing the whole thing myself—and I know it’ll be done right—but I’m not happy. If they ever have to do more work at my house, I will absolutely be present and watching I gave them 4 stars because it seems the foundation work was well done. The work previously done in our crawl space on the other side of our house went smoothly.

We recently had a home inspection by Groundworks focused on potential soil erosion around our foundation. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience! Our inspector, Cody, was punctual, thorough, and knowledgeable. Cody carefully took measurements and evaluated our home for any potential foundation issues, such as structural cracks, uneven floors, sticking windows/doors, etc. What stood out most was how he took the time to clearly explain what was happening around our property. He provided practical, easy-to-understand recommendations for preventing future erosion and protecting the foundation. His attention to detail gave us real peace of mind. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about helping homeowners maintain the integrity of their property. I would highly recommend Cody at Groundworks to anyone needing a reliable and professional home inspection!
