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.

Jacob Letner Came to my house a few months ago when I was trying to get a loan from my house, I had to get the basement fixed first. He came very prepared, very knowledgeable, Super kind and patient. He found me that two of my walls were level Level three one was level two and the other wall was level one. I needed three different quotes for my loan and he took the time to give me three different quotes between doing the most needed walls which would be level four and then doing the two level four walls in level three wall and then all of them will be the third quote. He didn’t have to do that, but I respect and appreciate the fact that he did. And if I had any questions, he was more than happy to explain. And he definitely did that and as much detail as Possible. I unfortunately did not get the loan in time so I no longer live at that house, but I really appreciate the time energy and patience Jacob Letner had. If I ever need any basement fixes or anything, I’m definitely going to the Ohio Basement Authority. I definitely had full trust with them.

Alpha recently performed foundation & concrete work at my home. The entire crew was amazing. They showed up on time & completed all work (which was extensive) the same day. They were very professional, knowledgeable, tidy & kept me informed throughout the entire process. I can't thank Jake, Josh, Luke, Hunter, Jordan, Brett, Chris & John enough for treating my home with such care! Shout out to Mike & Andrew as well!
