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.

Colin spent 90 minutes inspecting a prospective house that was in a flood zone we were going to purchase. He explained in detail, using several "tools" to present strong evidence the issues he found and how Groundworks would rectify the problems and in a very quick turnaround presented us with an estimate, which we thought was very reasonably priced as we had gotten other estimates that were almost double. They managed the permitting process through the town, also, which took a lot of work off my shoulders.The Groundworks administrative team (scheduling, engineers, permitting) was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. Ultimately, we did not purchase the house, but I would not hesitate for one second to call them in for my current home or any future homes with basement or foundation issues. Every individual I connected with at Groundworks was responsive, knowledgeable and professional.

From start to finish Groundworks was very professional and exceeded our expectations. Our estimator, Jerry, arrived on time and explained the process in detail even providing a short video demonstrating how the crack in our entry would be repaired. He set our expectations by clearly laying out the next steps. Lily followed up to schedule our repair stating Samuel and Kelvin would be out to handle the repair and to make sure we were prepared in advance. Samuel and Kelvin arrived on time and at the end of the job answered all of questions assuring us the repair was guaranteed and would blend in with time. He went through the checklist and even humored me by posing for a picture! His manager Daniel followed up a few days later to make sure all went well and to see if we had any questions or concerns. At this time we have none and feel this was the correct way to make the repair since Samuel had informed us there were many voids under the slab. I feel that the other options we had considered would not have addressed these issues. Daniel informed us if any concerns do come up to reach out as they would be happy to resolve these. We highly recommend Groundworks. They’re awesome!

Alan the field inspector foreman Oscar and crew Ricardo did an excellent job. They were friendly and answered questions. They also provided me with information and the service they do. Alan took 2 hours or more explaining and using his meter reading equipment went all around outside perimeter of house and did the inside of every room. Free!!!! I had an area outside on patio by my Column Pillar that had sunken and was building up with water due to all the rain we had been having. When Oscar and Ricardo came and saw a concern of the Column Pillar where they were going to dig down and pour Polyurethane it could move the structure of roofing where column was attached to. It all worked out and Oscar even repaired the cracks around the pillar. They all did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. Thank you to all at Groundworks!!!!!!!
