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 called AFS out for an estimate to repair a small crack just discovered in our basement. We have never had any issues with our basement in the many years we have lived here and we called AFS because of their ratings. We are so very pleased that the company sent Nate out and he was very professional, knowledgeable and honest with us. Unlike many companies these days, AFS won't sell you something you don't need. Give them a try, you won't regret it! Jim H.

We recently purchased a home in San Jose. In the report it stated that our home was fine and no foundation issues were noted. Upon moving in my wife noticed some cracks started to appear on the walls around the house. We contacted Bay Area underpinning to have them come and inspect our house. A couple of days before our appointment, Jim Rivera gave us a call to confirm the day and time of the appointment. This was the first positive experience we had with Jim and BAU. On the day of the appointment Jim called to let us know that he was 30 minutes away and showed up right on time. Once he arrived he listened to the issues we were noticing and then he went to work. He brought in some hi-tek tools and explained to us what the readings meant. Jim was extremely thorough and personable. He clearly has a lot of knowledge and showed us a bunch of photos that he took while he was in our crawlspace as well as photos of some exterior things that he noticed. Overall he said our home was in great condition with only minimal issues that we should address. He was very patient in answering all of our questions and provided us with a quote when he was finished. We were pleasantly surprised that the cost was very reasonable and comes with a lifetime warranty. We will be giving our business to Jim and Bay Area Underpinning. As a new home owner we were terrified of what the cost could be to fix our home. Jim really helped us understand what was going on and we would suggest that anyone who is having similar foundation issues like ours, we highly recommend that you should call Jim Rivera and Bay Area Underpinning.

Service technician Chris Trevitz arrived promptly for my scheduled annual maintenance visit on Wednesday last week. As promised, I received a text notifying me when he was on the way. He completed the checklist to verify that all systems were in working order, checked the dehumidifier filter and made recommendations for updates. His explanations were clear and complete.

Jeff Garber from Groundworks/Underpinning was AMAZING! Let me just start off by saying, we did not pay anything for our walkthrough/inspection. I’ve been a realtor for 18 years but this was for our personal property in Walnut Creek and I was extremely worried we were going to hear from Jeff that we need to do six figures worth of work. We have experienced some shifting in our floors, walls, thresholds and I was CONVINCED we needed major repairs. However, Jeff brought us a huge sense of relief by not only telling us we didn’t need any major repairs and what we were experiencing was normal for our age home. From my extensive experience working with vendors, they almost always push some sort of work, unnecessary or necessary. I can’t thank Jeff enough for his honest evaluation and helping me sleep at night again after 2 years of what felt like constant worry. It just goes to show, there are still good people with values out there. And, I can tell you when that time does come, he will be our first call!!! Jeff thank you for your true professionalism!!

I meet with Mike C. to obtain a quote to address water leakage into the basement from rain and foundation issues caused by years of water inundation. Also, to get a quote to seal up the crawl space. (The house has a half-basement.) He arrived early in a clean company vehicle and in uniform. Very pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and down-to-earth. His inspection of the areas of concern took some time because he was so very thorough. Once completed with the inspection, he presented various options, and we discussed each option. Seems his concern was more about what was best for my situation rather than profit. I really appreciated that. I predict the construction phase will be very good; based upon the interaction with Mike C.

As a new homeowner, you want to make sure that whoever you’re dealing with treats your concerns with a level of concern and importance as if it were their home. James Jones did that for us. He was thorough in his inspection and provided clarity that our concern with our garage wasn’t as bad as another company had made it seem. He never pushed a sale on us, which made us want to move forward with doing business with Groundworks. Very knowledgeable and answered every question that my husband and I had. I’d recommend James Jones to anyone and everyone that needs his expertise. Thanks James for all your help!
