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.

Wow! What a great company! Unexpectedly, we had water seeping into our basement. Jeff came promptly to look at the situation and worked out a treatment plan on the spot. It was easy to trust his plan because Jeff had knowledgeable answers to all my questions, and took the time to educate me about the issues we were facing. Installers Tosin and Francis arrived within a few days and completed some indoor demolition before knitting together the foundation crack and installing a fine sump pump system. Although they were working in tight quarters, both Tosin and Francis were pleasant and friendly; and knowledgeably answered my continued questions. They cared to make sure I understood the work they were doing and how our new system functioned. Where they had to dig a ditch through the lawn they made a thoughtful repair and even added grass seed – and inside, they did a great job of cleaning up, too. I will enthusiastically recommend Groundworks to our neighbours on either side who have issues similar to ours. We were very impressed – two thumbs up/five stars and two big smiles!

The work was all completed today, in one day on the date that we were told. We had a great experience with the initial inspection and presentation by Jeremy, the Sales Rep. Good communication followed and the permitting process brought two men to mark the lawn so the workers would know where all the utility lines and cables were located underground. Jordan and Hector were very professional in their repair of the driveway making sure our garage door closed properly again. … and they were appropriately friendly in the process. Shortly after their departure, Filipe arrived. With a nice smile he explained his role as inspector and I forgave him for being a NY Giants fan 🙂. Steven, David, and Isaiah showed up to do the hard labor, putting in the piers. Again they were both professional and friendly, taking the customer and their work very seriously. They were careful with the grass and where to place excess dirt which had been dug up. They worked well as a team and enjoyed showing me what they were doing and why. All in all, I would say they all valued the company (Alpha Foundations) for whom they worked and took appropriate pride in all that they did. I felt good about the finished product both in the pier foundation supports and the driveway repair.

We had our sinking driveway leveled in 2022. They did an amazing job, but I’m mostly impressed with the warranty FSS provides. Each year they come to adjust any settling that has occurred. Matthew Keller was here yesterday to make sure all was well. There was no additional settling despite the extreme drought. There were 2 neighbors who came and asked him to come look at their driveways. Matthew was so very kind and took the time to meet with everyone requesting his time. 5 stars doesn’t seem adequate for the amazing service we’ve received from FSS

The Groundworks experience was start to finish flawless. This entire team top to bottom was outstanding. These guys raise the bar when it comes to home improvement and in our case, it was more like a home saving. Andrew, Jai'Sean, Jalen, Mason, and Bryce showed excellent customer service. Work ethic like none other. These young men were tasked with an impossible job but completed it with ease (kind of like they've done this before). Hats off to the entire Groundworks team for helping my family save a truly sacred place to us, our home. We truly appreciate the work, the no nonsense "get er done" attitude, the leadership, and the integrity of this crew. Hand them your keys guys and watch them perform. You won't be disappointed!

Called IFS to schedule an inspection of our crawl space & was able to get an immediate appointment. Connor Avera contacted us to confirm he would be meeting with us. He arrived on time & explained the process before the inspection. Afterwards he sat down to explain in detail what he found, what needed attention & what solutions were applicable. Connor was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, very professional with no high pressure sales tactics. He thoroughly walked us through the entire process and answered all our questions.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one Richard provided. His knowledge with Groundworks is truly impressive — he seemed to know the answer to every question before we even finished asking it. He took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure we felt confident and comfortable with each step of the project. What really meant the most to us was how consistent he was with communication. He stayed in touch throughout the entire process, keeping us updated and checking in regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Richard’s professionalism, reliability, and dedication truly set him apart, and we’re incredibly grateful for all the hard work he put into our project.
