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.

I had an excellent experience with Ohio Basement Authority. My certified field inspector, Hollis Smith, was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough from start to finish. He took the time to explain how the crack on the driveway would be repaired utilizing videos during the process. I felt confident in his expertise and appreciated his attention to detail. Highly recommend.

Phillip sets the standard for exemplary customer service, professionalism, and knowledge. His service work on equipment in my crawl space was five star! His understanding of the challenges a cracked beam presents allowed him to explain the repair process clear and concisely. I went with JES on encapsulating my crawl space and replacing almost half of the massive joists several years ago; I'm absolutely sticking with them on shoring up the beam. Yes, they are expensive; their quality work is worth every penny!

I am very pleased with the service of Mount Valley foundations. My service men who are: William Cheek, Rashad Hayward and Aveion Jacobs did an excellent job. When they arrived here exactly on the time that they said they were going to be here I felt confident this was going to be a good experience. Mr. Cheek communicated with me throughout the whole process. After about 4 hours they were completed. He came inside my house and made sure everything was level as well as cleaned up their mess outside. He was very courteous and answered any questions that I had. If I have any other problems again, I will call Mount valley foundations.

Chris from Groundworks to the rescue!!! I have tried getting estimates for fixing my foundation from several contractors as it is a less than desirable job. Not one of them bothered contacting me back. That being said, I finally got some answers from Groundworks. Chris came out and examined my problem and was able to provide me with a possible path forward for my repair. Not only did he help point me in the right direction but also took the time to explain how the repair would work. I will definitely be doing business with Groundworks as soon as I figure out the financial aspect of the repair!

We had Ken Jordan out to look at some superficial cracks just to be on the safe side. He was prompt, friendly, and honest. He didn’t try to sell us something we didn’t need and advised just some simple maintenance and gave our foundation a clean bill of health. Thank you Ken and FRS team! I recommend highly!

Five star service from beginning to end! Mack, the company sales representative was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job of surveying the damage and explaining what needed to be done. Scheduling staff then ensured that a repair time was scheduled that was convenient for me. The repair crew, Paris and Bug, showed up at the agreed upon time, explained what they were going to do and ensured that all my questions were answered prior to starting. Then the real magic happened, they were able to bring my patio, walkway, and steps back perfectly to their original positions. See photos! I couldn’t recommend this company any more highly. If you want your leveling done right, and done right the first time, these are the folks to call!

We recently had Groundworks come out to address a washout problem in the driveway. When I called, they had an inspector out the very next day which was impressive. More impressive than that was the inspector himself, Chris. He not only addressed the issue that we are going to have corrected immediately but, he also inspected something of concern on an inside wall and our entire foundation. He was honest, thorough, very kind and professional. He explained Everything in detail and we feel confident in what we're are going to have done and what we may need in the future will be done the same. Truly Thank you Chris and Groundworks!

I had a wonderful experience with Waterworks. I had a ground water problem in the subfloor under my basement. Waterworks (Sean) came out, assessed the situation, and recommended a solution that would solve the problem. He made sure I understood the scope of the work to be done and how it would resolve the ground water problem. The solution Waterworks proposed was superior to the other bids I received. The work was quickly scheduled and the work crew arrived promptly. The work crew (Spenser, Ray, Toby, Jace, and Travis D) did excellent work. As they worked on the project, they encountered some unexpected issues that Spencer and the crew problem solved to address. Spenser kept me informed daily throughout the project on the crew’s progress and what they were doing to solve the unexpected issues. I was very satisfied with the timeliness and quality of the work. I would recommend Waterworks.
