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.

3/2025 Called alpha Foundations because our front walk was sinking and we were concerned that someone would trip and fall. Mike Mullen came the next day and gave us a through assessment of the work to be completed and the expense involved. We agreed they should compete the work and we received a repair date. This morning at 8:30 Brendan Wells and Nick Coln arrived in lite rain and began drilling holes. Less than one hour later they had drilled and lifted the 6 large concrete panel of our front walkway. Brendan was very clear that we had a 5 year warranty should the panels begin to sink again we should call them. We are very pleased!

We called on the weekend for a clogged pipe under our kitchen sink that wouldn’t drain, and JuJuan did a wonderful job. He explained the pricing upfront before starting any work, so there were no surprises. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend their services—thank you again!

We had our crawlspace encapsulated by Groundworks which included 2 pumps, a fan and a ton of insulating materials. The "crawlspace" has a 5-foot ceiling. The crew of foreman: Jacob N., and Richard S., Tim C. and Markee G. were polite, professional, and very hard working. They finished at least two days ahead of the original schedule (probably due to the high ceiling) and cleaned up well after themselves. Jacob answered my many questions and phone calls and went out of his way to leave everything the way he found it. He even returned several days later to replace some pavers he had to remove in order to run a drainpipe under the walkway. When he did that, he also reset some pavers I had not done such a hot job on replacing after I dug a root from underneath them a year or so earlier. We plan on using them when we can afford to run another beam under the house to stiffen up the floor. We are very satisfied and would recommend them to anyone needing their services.

Ohio Basement Systems Certified Field Inspector Jacob Letner was very informative about the company and the work to be done having our garage leveled. Jacob Letner's was on time and very precise and honest! He showed us work that we thought had to be done and through the proof of the instruments he used was proof that we did not need basement work. Thank you Jacob Letner!

We had an excellent experience with Mount Valley Foundation. Will was informative and supportive from the first evaluation to the project’s conclusion, going above and beyond to alleviate concerns. Ron (the foreman), Jacob and Von were professional, respectful, and very patient throughout the entire project to encapsulate the foundation and address some issues. Ron took the time to explain each step and made sure all of our questions were answered. The worksite was kept clean and organized, and we received regular updates along the way. The quality of work and communication from the entire team really stood out. We would absolutely recommend this company to others.

I had a fantastic experience with Jeff from JES Foundation Repair. I was worried about separation in my baseboards and door trims, but Jeff was incredibly thorough during his inspection. He took the time to take measurements and photos, ultimately putting my mind at ease by explaining that it was just natural settling for an 8-year-old home. He didn't try to oversell me or use fear tactics. It’s rare to find that level of honesty—I’d recommend him to anyone!

Grant Taylor did a great job! He called and told me when her would be there and actually showed up on time!(which NEVER happens) then he gave me a quote that was honest and explained it so I knew the reasons why the work needed done. He was patient with me and all my questions and didn’t make me feel bad about asking. Long story short he was awesome and it was a great experience for me mostly due to him!

Donnie provided a quote for raised foundation reinforcement. He was very professional and patient explaining the condition, considerations, and options. His quote was thousands less than prior estimates I had received and gave me high confidence the solution would be long lasting. Brett & John completed the install and were friendly, prompt, effort, and professional. They addressed all questions and concerns and left the space cleaner than they found it. Great experience!
