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 a great experience with the Groundworks foundation repair team. Kenneth (foreman), Junior (co-foreman), and 2nd Junior (installer) were professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of my property throughout the entire project. Kenneth clearly explained how the beams would support the foundation and why they were placed in certain locations. He also asked permission before removing shrubs that interfered with the work and explained how sprinkler lines would be handled and repaired. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the area clean. The work was completed exactly as promised, and I’m very pleased with the results. I highly recommend the Groundworks team for their professionalism, communication, and quality workmanship.

My truck got stuck on a patch of snow and was left in the middle of the road side ways. No one stopped to help me for about 45 mins and they stopped as son as they saw me and jumped right out and pushed me out. They were super nice and said they were doing a competition against other foremen. Thank you Len H, Jose B, Craig L!

James came to our property to discuss some concrete leveling early on a very rainy Saturday morning, and I could not have asked for a more honest representative for Ohio Basement Authority. While we will not be moving forward with this specific job, we will certainly be contacting them for any future needs. He was candid, open, and honest.

Wow! So pleased with Foundation work completed by JES!!

Absolutely outstanding work by Foundation Recovery Systems! I can't recommend them highly enough. From the initial inspection with Adam, who was incredibly thorough and explained everything clearly, to the completion of the project, I was consistently impressed. My basement wall was in terrible shape, leaning inward by almost six inches, lots of cracks, and the entire foundation needed significant repair and waterproofing. Jeremy, the crew lead, along with Kyler and Justin, faced unbelievably challenging conditions. They worked tirelessly through freezing temperatures, a brutal winter storm, and then the subsequent muddy mess from the thaw. Despite these obstacles, they remained professional, courteous, and dedicated to doing an exceptional job. The results are truly remarkable. My foundation is now solid and straightened, I couldn’t believe the difference from before. They waterproofed a portion of my basement that had significant water penetration and the new pump they installed is already helping a lot. They clearly knew what they were doing and took great pride in their work. The communication throughout the process was excellent, and they kept me informed every step of the way. If you need foundation repair or waterproofing, I absolutely recommend Foundation Recovery Systems. Their expertise, dedication, and ability to overcome extreme conditions are truly commendable. Five stars!

Sean and Chris were great. Showed up on time and gave me a heads up call when they were on the way. They walked me through the process and kept me informed throughout then also did a walkthrough at the end to make sure I was satisfied. My driveway, sidewalk and entry steps are finally fixed and looking great. Thank you to Sean and Chris for their hard work!
