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 were lucky to work with Kalen for our quote to prevent further foundation damage in our 1960s home. He was very helpful in answering our questions, providing an overview of what was going on with our foundation, and various options for addressing the issues. Jesus Sanchez and Jose Ramirez came to execute the first half of the job and they were respectful, knowledgeable, and left our home clean. Great experience so far!

I previously wrote a not so positive review largely because of delays. I am very impressed that the general manager very quickly jumped into the situation to determine the problem. Once he understood what and where the problem was, he corrected it with his employee(s). I was given a work date that day. The work is totally completed with my 100% plus satisfaction.

Robert and his team started earlier than expected which is always good. They put piers under my foundation and drywall cracks closed up and doors latched without lifting them instantly. They cleaned up and repaired concrete they had to get under and were gone in a few days. I would suggest them. I have a few in process pics other than the seed, straw and some newer concrete you’d never know they were there.

Guiles Hall and Kevin Brito were the team assigned to my project. They were personable and professional AND they worked their butts off. Kept me informed of what was going on during the whole project. When they finished it was dark and they had to use spotlights to finish up. Talk about dedication. Thank you both. Groundworks should be glad they have you

Jeanne was very helpful and provided a detail explanation of what the repairs entailed, show evidence of a preliminary analysis about the problem, and all the different options to get the repairs done. I highly recommend Jeanne to come to do a preliminary analysis if you see cracks that affect the outside walls or the foundation of your house.

Five-star service from the San Jose Groundworks crew—Estevan (Foreman), Noah (Installer), Roberto (Installer), and Kyle (Supervisor). This team was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. They solved our basement leaking during heavy rain by installing an internal foundation floor gutter system and a sump pump, and the quality of their work was exceptional. What really stood out was their professionalism and attention to detail. They were incredibly friendly, took the time to explain everything clearly, and treated our home with great care. The floor protection and furniture tarping they set up before starting the job was first-rate and showed how much pride they take in their work. It’s rare to find a crew this skilled, respectful, and hardworking. I would highly recommend this company—and especially this fantastic team—to anyone dealing with foundation or basement water issues.
