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.

Outstanding service and professionalism. Well thought-out plan, seamless execution, and genuinely nice people. Tom was knowledgeable about the foundation products and developed a solution to a complex problem. Talon and his crew stabilized the perimeter, installed I-beams under the floor joists with 14" of clearance, and left no trace of trauma in the landscape. The results are much better than we expected. Especially for an 80 year old house. Plus a transferable lifetime warranty. 💯 would recommend

We received clear communication before our project and during the project. The work was actually more involved than Groundworks had expected. However, they stuck to their initial quote despite the additional work. Wyatt as the project lead was easy to work with. Wyatt, Logan, and Carter all did excellent work.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Groundworks for coming out to my house and leveling my garage floor, drive way and side walk with the firms Poly process. It looks great and I appreciate that the two guys that were in charge and did all the work was Zech & Jose were awesome! Also, I wanna give a special shout out to West Foreman, Chase, who looks like Travis Kelce, and the third guy that I can’t remember his name, but did a great job on the structural part to lift my foundation that did a great job. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention what a great initial sales job and inspection and just all around was there during the whole process with Codi Martin. I will be recommending Groundworks to everyone. Thanks guys, David and Kelley Cox

I recently had Groundworks work on Fivemy mothers home in Rio Vista. The home had sunk several inches over 60 years she has lived in it. From start to finish their personnel were professional, friendly and kept me informed of their progress. Marcos, the crew foreman and his crew were respectful and courteous. I highly recommend Groundworks to anyone that needs this type of work performed. Great job, Thanks. D LaFever

Based on a friend's recommendation, I've contracted FRS to level my old driveway, which has seen several decades of erosion and settling … attached are a couple of my "before" pictures. No leveling has been done yet, but their quoting process was great … Ely spent over an hour analyzing and diagraming the voids in each of my slabs and walks, plus he explained how those voids could soon be impacting the foundation of my home. That sealed the deal, and I hope to add some nice "after" pics this summer once my project is all done.

—SEE UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM— Writing this negative review on Google is the last thing I wanted to do, but it seems to may be my last option to either help others avoid my fate or encourage Corporate to get involved. I’m giving Groundworks/Bay Area Underpinning (BAI) two stars. That is only for: estimator Nick Picardal who came out to investigate my concerns on July 14, provided me a quote, and then tried to connect me to his Project Manager; the professionalism displayed by Mark Lane (corporate??) following a call to the national phone number July 31; and for the repeated attempts of Field Inspector Darren Breen to get ANYONE above him to do SOMETHING. I have now been dealing with the local Groundworks office since July 14, (over three months), and I don’t think it is asking too much to ask someone to simply contact me to discuss the quotation they provided for work to address my sinking foundation. I spent thousands of dollars in 2018 to have their company (previously Bay Area Underpinning) correct my foundation, but now I can’t get anyone besides an estimator to even discuss the issues and quote! I have compiled detailed notes and dates on all my attempts to contact and discuss this project with someone and I’m happy to share those with management if there is any question as to my patience or perceived exaggeration here. Bottom line to potential customers: If basic communication and reliable work product is more important to you than a notable spokesman and a national ad campaign, I strongly recommend you look for someone besides Groundworks / Bay Area Underpinning for foundation stabilization and correction services. Besides the genuine efforts (and apologies) of Nick and Darren, our local Groundworks office seems to be ill managed and lacking in basic customer service skills. UPDATE 2026: In late 2025, new local Groundworks branch manager Ian Kee took the helm and things FINALLY turned around. We experienced MONUMENTAL improvement with both the issue of their communication/customer service and with their acceptance of responsibility for the foundation settling due to poor/improper workmanship by the now defunct Bay Area Underpinning (whom Groundworks absorbed), all thanks to a new, clearly defined leader at this location. Once management changed hands, Ian stepped up and ensured Alec and his team prioritized my project and the obvious issues I was experiencing. Alec's customer service skills were EXACTLY what you hope for in a customer-facing representative of your company, and the perfect experienced, high-energy problem solver I didn't expect (but appreciated) to turn this around. Alec responded out and immediately recognized the issues in my walls and floors, and due to the lack of poly under my slab following the lift in 2018. The poly crew was scheduled but unfortunately experienced an unavoidable equipment breakdown just before my date, pushing the schedule out a week, but once their rig was repaired the crew made quick work of the situation in a single morning. After the carpet was pulled out, they drilled a few strategic holes in my slab, pumped in the poly, and I watched all my settling issues disappear. The cracks in the walls closed up, and the creaking and popping of the wood ceiling/roof beams at night has ceased. As predicted by Alec, the poly was exactly what was needed to correct the conditons we experienced, and has proven to be the prevention for any further foundation movement for six months now. The confidence, expertise and professionalism shown by Alec and the poly injection crew was incredible, a complete 180 from the original experience. I am glad that we pushed through and everything was finally completed properly, it was a pleasure to work with these gentlemen and they are all a credit to Groundworks. I am very happy to be now able to highly recommend Ian and his crews to handle to all too frequent foundation correction needs of the Bay Area!

After a 4 inch flood in our basement, we were devastated. We scheduled the free inspection and met Max. From the moment he came in, he knew exactly what he was talking about. He found the problems, even the ones we weren't aware of. After identifying our issues, he had the solutions to best fix it and spent the time we needed to fully understand. We have a plan and a path forward. We look forward to working with moustache Max!
