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.

We had AFS encapsulate our crawl space almost five years ago. It was expensive but we were very pleased initially. Over the years, however, I realized the installers lapped the ground sheets incorrectly directing all the water flow onto the top of the next downhill sheet. This put all the pressure of holding the water on the tape, which did not hold after years of getting wet. Our service technician Ty could see the problem immediately when I told him my concerns. He spent an unbelievable amount of time re-lapping every joint. He did an AMAZING job and I now feel totally confident that my AFS encapsulation will do the job for decades to come. Ty also took the time to explain the control panels of the sump pumps and dehumidifier so I can reset the alarms that occur when it has to go on battery back up, a fairly common occurrence in rural Alabama. Thank you Ty. You are the best.

I was very impressed with the job the crew did replacing my crawl space posts and leveling the floor. They were able to close up all the cracks from the settlement, and also helped address a few long outstanding squeaks in the floor. Luis was also great at communicating some issues he found with the existing beams and how they resolved it. The initial inspection and quote process from Daniel was also surprisingly painless compared to other companies— a fair price and solid explanations for what was going on, without trying to upsell.

Lead man Johnny Ketrun, Michael Jordan (they call him MJ but it’s not the famous one), and last but not least Michael Sinard can to raise the floor joists on the west side of our home. All introduced themselves on arrival and competed the entire job in under 5 hours. Both my wife and I were very impressed about how organized and professionally they went about completing their work and cleaning up afterward. I was given a library of pictures documenting the work done. Great team!

I'm very impressed by the customer service and diligence of the workers here. Tyler Grace spent hours with me identifying my foundation issues. Corey and his crew then did an amazing job correcting the issues AND saving me money by not doing unneccessary work. I never would've known, so you can trust these guys! I'm very much appreciative of their hardwork. Thank you.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Aqua Guard, and we cannot say enough great things about JD and his crew, Jay T and Dominic. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. The communication throughout the process was exceptional — JD kept us informed every step of the way, making sure we always knew what to expect. When it came to the actual work, the team's attention to detail and thoroughness were truly impressive. Nothing was overlooked, and the quality of their work spoke for itself. What really set them apart was their professionalism. JD, Jay T, and Dominic were respectful, hardworking, and clearly took great pride in what they do. They didn't just meet our expectations — they went above and beyond in every way, making sure the job was done right and that we were completely satisfied before they left. If you're looking for a team that is reliable, skilled, and genuinely cares about the work they do, look no further. We would highly recommend JD and his crew at Aqua Guard to anyone. You will not be disappointed! Dee and Tina

I also appreciate the before and after photos he shared that better helped me understand the importance of the maintenance service appointments. Good job! Thank you Trevor!

Working with Matvey / Groundworks was excellent! Our Field Inspector Zac was thorough, knowledgeable and patient. He came to our house three different times to fully answer all of our questions before the work began. The day of the job, Alex, Luis and Kender arrived. They were great to work with as well as kept us informed about the minor changes they needed to make and why. We interviewed two other companies for this structural improvement / repair and are really happy we chose Matvey / Groundworks.
