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.

Ryan and his crew were fantastic. I received a text from him the night before my appointment explaining that they would arrive around mid-morning (we live about two hours from their business). The morning of the appointment, Ryan called to confirm the estimated arrival time, and I also received a text with updates on the crew’s arrival. When they arrived, they introduced themselves, and Ryan walked me through the project, clearly explaining what they would be doing and how they planned to complete the work. Once they began, they spent most of the day under the house, working diligently. After finishing the work underneath, Ryan came inside and began raising the flooring. When the job was complete, he walked me through the areas they had worked on, explained everything that had been done, and discussed what to expect moving forward. The entire crew was very professional, and I truly appreciated the overall experience.

Jeremy quickly and personally leveled with me on what I needed to do instead of wasting time trying to service a legacy fixture. I came to the conclusion myself but I wanted a pro to validate my opinion. I will choose a new fixture and call A1 again to reschedule installation. I was able to schedule an opening quickly before and Jeremy arrived on time and early.

Lucas, Vincent and Hunter came out to correct an issue we had with a sump pump. After the heavy rains, it appeared that we had water backing in the drain. They identified a solution with the float that saved us time and money. Very customer oriented and very professional and friendly. This is the only foundation company I will use and highly recommend them

From start to finish everyone was great! Our pool deck was sinking and the team used the Poly product to secure and level the slab. The sales agent MICHAEL MULLEN was very clear and professional. He took extra time to answer any follow up questions and I knew exactly what to expect the day of the job. The installation team BRANDON WELLS and NICK CAIN were very polite and professional the day of the job. They took time to discuss the job before they started, during and after it was complete. THANK YOU ALL! VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT!

There were some challenges during the first day of repairs, but what stood out to me was how quickly and effectively the team addressed them. David, the field superintendent, took the initiative to conduct a new inspection, reevaluate the situation, and develop a thorough action plan to resolve the issues. His professionalism, attention to detail, and pride in his work were evident throughout the process, and his communication kept me informed every step of the way. The project took longer than expected due to some unforeseen complications, but David and the team stayed committed to doing the job correctly. David went above and beyond, documenting the process with photos and maintaining constant communication, which gave me peace of mind. An example of their meticulous work was when they identified a significant hole in my HVAC return duct during the repairs. Not only did they alert me to the issue, but David and his team also took the time to patch it with HVAC tape I had on hand, a kind and thoughtful gesture that has allowed me to address the problem fully. Garrett, one of the repair technicians, was also exceptional. His kindness, professionalism, and dedication were evident in every interaction. Adding to the complexity of the situation, my home was undergoing hurricane damage repairs with other contractors frequently on-site. The Mountain Valley Foundation team worked seamlessly with them, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier for me. Their adaptability and cooperation with other professionals highlighted their commitment to customer satisfaction. In the end, Mountain Valley Foundation delivered high-quality work and ensured my foundation repairs were completed correctly. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and the care they showed throughout the process. Thank you, David, Garrett, and the entire team for your outstanding efforts!

We just completed our basement waterproofing by Groundworks. The work was completed in the two-day period that they estimated. The work was done very professionally by the crew of 5 or so workers. All were very friendly and worked well together as a team. A special thanks to Logan, Darius Anthony and Braxton for their work.

Just had AFS's expert team encapsulate my crawlspace. Kyle Davis, Dboe, and Quinton over the course of 2 days completely sealed and protected my crawlspace from moisture and installed dehumidifiers. Kyle did an exceptional job of keeping me in the loop of what they were doing, and set proper expectations on the timeline in a clear and professional way. I truly mean it when I say that these men went above and beyond to ensure that my home was protected and cared for. I will 100% be using AFS again for any future foundation needs I have.

Joe and his crew were fantastic! They came in and got the job done. Above and beyond! They even linked in back downspout in close vacinity to the discharge line. Looks great. Any questions I had were answered. They let me know when they were coming and finished in 2 days! I was impressed with this crew and company. Love this system so far, very quiet. Test is coming with the upcoming season and it is life time warranty! Cannot wait for phase 2 finishing to have dry and complete basement!

It was a difficult and anxiety provoking situation finding out that my basement needed structural repair and a sump pump system. But I owe a huge thank you to the JES crew that worked on my project. Nick Garst, David Lombard, Greg Elmore and Matt Ireland were highly professional, took time to answer my questions and worked efficiently. They told me each day what they planned to accomplish and left the job site clean and tidy. I would recommend this team to anyone that needs repair to their home. Thanks, JES
