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.

Al came to our house on different occasions for different reasons to inspect or house. He truly gave us his honest opinion. He didn't do a sells pitch or make thing look worst than they were. He actually gave us a piece of mind about issues with our house. This company did my waterproofing work in our basement and I'm very happy that I have a very dry basement, which I never had since becoming owners of this home. I've actually recommended them to others.

I had a really good overall experience with Groundworks. The service they did for us was technically "concrete lifting", although it was just filling voids underneath our porch steps and driveway, since there wasn't any sinking yet. Their salesman/inspector was very thorough in his assessment and worked with us on different options. We were comfortable having him in our home to walk through the process and costs with us. The actual installation team was also very good to work with! We had Joseph, Hunter, and Cameron do the actual poly foam work and they were a great group; very professional but also personable. We are especially happy that they have the yearly check-in option where they come check everything out once a year to make sure there are no issues. The only problem we experienced with Groundworks was that they scheduled the install day with us early on, but never told us a timeframe. I reached out the day before the install to ask when they would be coming, but never got a response and they ended up coming at a time that didn't work for us. So my one suggestion would be that Groundworks needs to have an automated message to tell customers the estimated timeframe of arrival for the installation team THE DAY BEFORE, rather than just the courtesy text 30 minutes before they arrive the day of. But they were able to reschedule a couple of days later and give me a timeframe estimate, so it ended up working out either way.

Upon discovering that when our now four-year-old home was built, the support beams in our crawlspace had not been properly installed, nor had adequate ventilation been provided resulting in the stability of our home being in jeopardy. We began a search for a reputable company to address our issues. We found JES. We were fortunate to have Charles Logan as the representative to assess our needs. Charles was very thorough in determining what needed to be done. Zachary Conner and Michael Kimberlin were assigned to perform the work. They were very conscientious in taking the steps that were needed and keeping us well informed along the way. Charles, Zachary, and Michael were very professional, very pleasant, and respectful of our property. Thank you for putting our minds at ease and in making our home feel safe.

I recently needed my crawlspace paper wrapped and a foundation wall elevated about 2in. Right after sending a yelp message I received a quick response with times to have someone come out, and once they did come out it was followed by an awesome visualization of the work they could get done. While, understandably because of demand, it did take about a month or so for Tarheel to be able to work on the project (I was noted of this in preparation). Once they were able to come out, they did so quite quickly and with very high standard. The crawlspace work was very well sealed and contained, and the foundation work was well explained and the people involved in the whole project did a fantastic job. So much so that I would like to give a special thanks to Gus J., Anthony M., Jimmy M. and Felipe L. for the work they had done, I really appreciate the help! Highly recommended company!

Several years ago I had a new sump pump system installed by Foundation Recovery Systems and things have been working fine. I just recently had a courtesy “check up” on my system performed by service technician Randy Smith. He was friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell he cares about workmanship. He looked at the set up in my basement, looked outside at the downspouts and walls, measured humidity levels and when he saw some places I could improve a situation he pointed them out. He was thorough and explained everything he was checking and doing. I felt very confident in his suggestions and they made sense. I look forward to working with both Randy and FRS in future years! Thank you!

We discovered water in our crawl space. We called Groundworks, who sent out an estimator the next day. All proposed work was appropriate and they sent the team of Tyler, Eric, Amari, and Warren almost immediately. The work in two areas of our property was completed quickly and efficiently. Especially appreciated was the amazing cleanup they did every day. I highly recommend Groundworks and the team of Tyler, Eric and Amauri from the Arlington WA office. First rate, the entire process.

Mark Beamer and Chris Coulbourne were so transparent and honest throughout the process of lifting my mom's (badly sunken) driveway and garage. We are now about four months out after the work was complete and it has stayed very secure and looks wonderful. There are many people in the world who will take advantage of those who are less fortunate and I am always afraid my mom will run into these types, and she does, but this was not one of those dreaded situations. Thank you guys for taking great care of her!

I learned that 3 rooms were lower than the rest of the house and that Mount Valley had the fix! Austin and Michael promptly arrived and injected the polymer through the flooring into the ground. I found the pair to be quite knowledgeable and personable. They answered every question I had leaving me feeling very informed for the next house I buy. They were respectful of my home regarding routing their hose into my home and leaving the area as clean as possible afterwards. I'm very satisfied with Mount Valley's approach to foundation fixed.
