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 just had our free estimate with Sergio Robles from Groundworks after finding cracks in the foundation of our garage as well as driveway cracks and sinking. He was professional, friendly, and got straight to the issues and how his company could fix them. After reviewing his plan, going over the why/how of fixing, and walking us through financial options it was easy to pick Groundworks for our home needs.

AFS employees are professional, efficient and honest. Trevor Wright was knowledgeable and stayed on top of his own work and his workers. Bernard Clemmons and Tristan Bodine came to the worksite ready to work – and not “just a tad” of work, but work! Parris Houchins and Bug Boyd did a great job on the concrete garage floor and patio! Thank You & Jesus Bless You All

I had my entire crawlspace encapsulated, new sump pump, and a dehumidifier installed last year. I had my annual maintenance inspection yesterday with Inspector Cory Guerra and had an amazing experience. He showed up on time, was very professional, asked relevant questions, and got to work. He took his time to ensure a complete and thorough job was done, which I really appreciated. He checked on a concern I had with precision and expert knowledge. I wouldn't want it to go any way else with anyone else, to be honest.

Groundworks has been excellent to work with. The woman, sorry that I don't remember her name, who I talked to setting up my appointment was helpful, pleasant and spoke up and clearly which helps those of us with hearing problems. No speed talking, no mumbling. Nate Trump, who evacuated my problem, was quite thorough, explaining everything to me from what he saw and through to how the process would be. He patiently answered my numerous questions. He did not pressure nor try to "guide" me. I hope the actual work continues to be "five stars" as Groundworks has already given me. I believe it will be.

Had Groundworks out to fix a crawl space issue and add support to a concrete safe room. Both crews did an excellent job, and salesmen prior to the job also were very professional and thorough. Thank you to Michael O on the crawl space work, and Philip , Daniel, and Jumon on the piers. Great job by all. May not have been the cheapest solution but it was done correctly, and warrantied for future owner if/when we sell the house.
