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.

Communication from the Groundworks team was clear and concise from the time of problem assessment, through job planning, scheduling and coordination. Workers arrived exactly when they said they would and were respectful, hardworking and polite. Ernest, Diego and Shahid encountered some challenges as my neighborhood is full of rocks, but they worked through the difficulties, and communicated well and inspired calm when the plan we had made needed to be altered. Groundworks is likely not the cheapest bid you might receive, but it is well managed and coordinated and helped me feel that every dollar was worth it. Thanks guys!

Today, Feiross came to do the annual service on our Sump Pump System and our Air Filtering system. As always, Feiross was professional, warm and kind in his work. He is also very professional and in his goals to help us with our home he took the time to explain services and in detail. I have met Feiross previously when he arrived when our basement was flooding. He knows his work and engenders trust in his interactions. This is my endorsement of Feiross and this company!

I recently hired Ground Works to repair several sunken slabs in my garage caused by poorly compacted soil. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The two gentlemen who performed the work (Guiles Hall and Jason Lewis) were the highlight of the service—they were professional, courteous, and took the time to explain the process to me so I knew exactly what was being done.They completed the job right on schedule and handled my property with great care. It’s clear this company prioritizes hiring good, high-quality people. I highly recommend their services to anyone dealing with concrete issues!

Bob was excellent, Professional, and informative. After his thorough structural inspection of our home, he pointed out cracks that we were unaware of, and remarked on causes of the damage that we were concerned about. My kids heard him talking about “cracks” in our house, and said they didn’t know they “we are living in a crack house”. I laughed so hard, I had to pee. Bob was truly impressive with his structural engineering knowledge and well organized presentation. I am excited to get started our our project and look forward to working with Bob as our project manager.

Ground Works came to my resident to evaluate my crawl space. David Stern was exceptional to work with and I would highly recommend David to anyone who requires expertise in this field. David was extremely pleasant to work with, he was so very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He shared a detailed plan with me regarding my crawlspace, and spent the time to ensure I understood all aspects of what he was sharing with me. Again, I was very impressed by David's knowledge and appreciated the time he took at my property, highly recommend David and Ground Works.
