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.

From start to finish working with Groundworks was easy, stress free, & educational. Josh came to my home & did a very thorough inspection all while explaining everything he was doing & what he was seeing so I understood. As a first time homeowner, understanding was very important to me. When the Team came to do the work, they were AMAZING. Ler Htoo, the foreman, and his Team: Bleh Bleh, Devon, & Eh Wah were wonderful at communicating with me & letting me know timeline & plan. They showed me the work they were doing & explained the what & the why. Also, they cleaned up so well after they were done that my basement looked 10 times better than before they started and you can't even tell they had to dig a hole in my yard for an anchor! I will absolutely recommend Groundworks to anyone & everyone who needs foundation support – they made what I thought would be a stressful process incredibly easy & totally stress free. Thank you so much!

I had a 25 foot crack in my patio concrete deck. The void underneath from years of rotting tree roots, rain and the weight of the patio roof, made the crack worse and the concrete with rises in some areas and dips in other areas. I Googled my problem to see how it could be repaired without replacing the whole patio. Groundworks name came up with a possible fix of polyurethane injections. The concrete will be lifted back towards its original level position. Then the crack could be repaired. Groundworks agent Kaleb came to give me an estimate. He was very knowledgeable and precise with his inspection and measurements. When he was finished on the patio, he came inside and explained how everything was going to come together and the options I had on payments, financing, etc. Christian from Groundworks came to do the repairs. He took his time and explained the details of what he was going to do. When he finished some hours later, I couldn't believe the beautiful job he did. The deck was perfectly flat and the crack was filled in and sanded smooth. I will highly recommend Groundworks for anyone who needs concrete repairs and tell them to make sure they send Kaleb for the estimate and Christian for the repairs. Edward Chalmus

From initial consult to the completed project, the whole process was fantastic. When my basement walls started leaking through cracks, I would have never imagined I would be saying such a thing. Baker’s Waterproofing took the time to explain everything to me. I felt extremely comfortable and well informed through every step. Based on all the estimates I got, they are reasonably priced. The team that came to do the job worked diligently and went above and beyond in my opinion. Highly recommend them to everyone!
