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.

Review of AFS and Foreman Nick Bohal – The Best in Polyurethane Concrete Lifting I recently had the opportunity to work with AFS and their exceptional polyurethane concrete lifting foreman, Nick Bohal. From the moment I reached out to the company, I was impressed by their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. AFS specializes in lifting and stabilizing concrete surfaces, and their expertise truly shines through in every project. Whether it's driveways, sidewalks, or pool decks, AFS has the tools and experience to restore concrete back to its original placement. Nick embodied this commitment with his extensive knowledge of polyurethane lifting techniques, ensuring that every job met AFS's high standards. What I appreciated most about working with AFS was their focus on quality assurance. Nick took great care to fully stabilize the concrete and prevent any future issues. His meticulous approach gave me confidence in the work being done, knowing that AFS prioritizes long-lasting results. Communication is another key strength of AFS. Nick was always available to answer my questions and update me on the progress of the project. His friendly demeanor made the entire experience pleasant, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about the customers and the quality of the work.

I enjoyed working with the JES crew, consisting of A. Grant, G. Peoples, T. Griffin and M. Usury. I am pleased to share my positive experience. They called to confirm their arrival an hour in advance, which I appreciated, and they arrived promptly. Their unwavering dedication was evident as they worked professionally for over six hours, demonstrating a solid commitment to quality. The team's attention to detail was commendable, particularly in their prep work and care for protecting the interior space, as well as in the installation and cleanup processes. I was particularly impressed by the team's exceptional communication and collaboration skills, which played a significant role in the project's success. I highly recommend this crew for their professionalism and expertise. Their work was aligned with the sales agent's plan, and I am extremely satisfied with the results, particularly the entire project life cycle . DL Booker

I was very pleased with my experience working with Gavin for a drainage system in my basement, as well as some add-on solutions for my garage. He was very thorough in the inspection, and gave me a customized plan that would fit my needs at a reasonable cost. We worked together on financing solutions and set up an installation date for much sooner than I anticipated, given the timelines of other companies.

My wife and I live in Portage County Ohio and needed to replace our basement sump and pump. I turned to Ohio Basement Authority that we have used in the past for other issues and specifically wanted their rep Chris Schewell to come out and take care of the issue. Chris has been taking care of our basement for years. Chris took his time and explained everything that was causing our issues (specifically the original sump was installed incorrectly and whole list of other issues). So we had his team come out today and install a whole new system and we could not have been more pleased. They were on time, professional, courteous, cleaned up after themselves and did an overall great job!! Major kudos to the Ohio Basement Authority! If you have issues with just about anything in your basement, definitely reach out to Chris and you will be super pleased!

Let me start off by saying Im super impressed with the site work crew Malik, Andy, and Brian. This crew is very professional, personable, and works REALLY hard! Please be sure to convey this to whoever is in their up-line as they each deserve kudos for being great employees and representatives of Groundworks. I am very pleased as well with our estimator Zaire. He was always available to answer questions and spent a lot of time with me to make sure I understood the whole process. Zaire made a very expensive endeavor a lot less stressful.
