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.

Top-notch service and craftsmanship from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the work that was done and wouldn't want anyone other than Damian T. & Philip E. working on our home. On top of working really hard, they kept us informed on progress, share pictures, ensured we were satisfied, and cleaned up after a dirty job!

We scheduled an appointment to inspect our house, knowing there were problems. Darell arrived and took the time to do everything necessary to identify the problem. He was very professional and explained in detail what was going on. His experience and manner convinced us to repair the house with FRS ( also th voice time guarantee). Alex was our foreman, and he also did an incredible job with the repairs. They finished on time and in the proper manner, and were always friendly. Thank you!

I’ve been trying to figure out a smell in my century home for months. Called multiple companies came to investigate. They could not figure it out. Chris came by and nailed down the smell in less than an hour. Didn’t charge anything for the inspection. Highly recommend these folks.

I cannot recommend Adrian and AquaGuard highly enough. In my 10 years of real estate experience, I have worked with many service providers, but none have matched the outstanding care, professionalism, and integrity that Adrian brings to the table. His commitment to doing what's right for his clients sets a gold standard in this industry. Recently, my client and I were faced with a significant moisture and mold issues. Adrian took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explaining every step in a way that made us feel confident and informed. His expertise and honest recommendations ended up saving us over $10,000 compared to quotes from other companies. This wasn't just about cost savings–it was about trust. Adrian's approach made it clear that he genuinely cared about our best interests rather than seeing us as just another transaction. His kindness, patience, and thoughtful communication turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth, positive experience. Adrian's ability to combine technical skill with heartfelt customer service is truly rare. If you are considering any foundation or waterproofing work, do yourself a favor–do not go with anyone else if it's not Adrian at AquaGuard. Choosing anyone else risks overpaying and missing out on the personalized care and integrity that Adrian delivers every single time. Thank you, Adrian, for your exceptional service and for setting the bar so high in your industry!

From the rep to the techs everyone has been very knowledgeable, professional and communicative. Every step through the process everyone at AFS has been great to work with. We needed major repairs done in a very short crawlspace and the team that came out was done a little ahead of schedule and walked us through every step of the way. They were on time each day and walked us through every step as they were working. We highly recommend AFS, and we still have another area we need addressed and will be hiring AFS to resolve it.

A year ago we contacted Cooper Baker from Alpha Foundations to inspect a home we were under contract to purchase. Thanks to his expertise, he identified significant structural concerns, which ultimately helped us make the decision not to move forward with that property. We were so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism that when we later noticed a few cracks in the home we did purchase, we didn’t hesitate to call him again. After a thorough inspection, he reassured us that there was nothing concerning and no action was needed. I truly appreciate his honesty and integrity. It’s clear he prioritizes what’s best for the homeowner. I would absolutely recommend Cooper to anyone in need of a trustworthy and knowledgeable inspection.

From the day the original AFS representative inspected my leaking basement, presented me with a quote, and sent out an installation crew to complete the installation I have been totally satisfied. My basement is now totally dry. No longer do I have to endure the very embarrassing continuous damp, moldy smell and water in my finished basement. I agreed to a 5 yr. annual inspection program as part of the original contract. Today, Tony Marlowe from AFS performed a very thorough foundation inspection, as well the pumping and dehumidifier equipment. I found Tony to be, not only very knowledgeable of his product, but also to be very personable and respectful; the type of individual I would welcome into my home at any time. Although I still had onone more year left on my original contract, I decided to extend the inspection program another three years.

Spencer & Ethan were great. They called to give me an ETA and texted once they arrived. They were in complete communication the entire time they worked on my driveway. When I noticed something a few days later I called Dry-pro again and my contact Brandon W sent Spencer & Ethan back out no questions asked. Spencer called me directly to follow up on what I needed fixed. They came back to fix the walkway and did a superb job. I couldn’t be happier with the team from Dry Pro Charlotte.

Kevin Macdonald did a great job explaining what needs to be done to fix my flooring issue. He was extremely professional and prompt. We were completely clueless on how to fix our home and Kevin showed us exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. I would recommend him to everyone that is looking to fix their foundation.

AFS was great. Paul, Uriel, Jose, Edgar, and Jesus were amazing to work with. After Paul quoted us, they had an opening and told me it would be about 2 days to complete. The crew got there punctually at 9:30 and were done by 4pm the same day. They had to install 10 of the piers under my slab one end of my home as it was settling and causing deflection in the slab. The crew came out and were very kind, professional, and quick.

I recently had AFS Foundation Repair work on my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Trevor Brennan and James were professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. They took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and kept me informed every step of the way.
