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.

House had settled an excessive amount on one side, so decided to go with Alpha Foundations to install helical piers to (slightly) lift and brace the house. Jake and his team were prompt, explained everything that was going on with the process of installing helical piers, and left me feeling that the house was in better shape (and protected for the future) than when they started. Overall, the folks from Alpha Foundations were reliable, set good expectations, and imo, reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend going with these guys for assistance with home foundation issues.

Tori and Chris did an outstanding job repairing my driveway and sidewalk. Both guys are top shelf, personable, hard-working, perfectionists. They don't settle for "good enough." They explained what they would do, how they would do it, how the product works, and cleaned up leaving the place looking better than when they arrived. The finished product was outstanding. I couldn't be more impressed. Great job!

David Roberson has been the very best tech that has came out. No other tech flood tested the sump pump system changed my air filter and helped me in the basement drain. I am lucky to have him come out and AFS is lucky to have him as a technician.

Taylor, Nick, and Mannie were outstanding. They showed up on time every day, explained the process clearly, and treated our home with care and respect. Crawlspace work is not easy, but these guys handled everything with professionalism and a positive attitude. They kept the work area clean, communicated updates throughout the project, and made sure every detail was done right. The difference in our home is noticeable already — cleaner air, better peace of mind, and confidence that the foundation issues and mold problems were properly addressed. It’s rare to find a crew this dependable and trustworthy.

Yearly check up of sump pump system in my garage. I still have some water coming in and some hollow areas. Chris made sure my pump was working and checked for hollow sounding areas. He also recommended a 1 horsepower motor for my pump to help deal with my situation. Very thorough inspection! And a very pleasant person to work with.
