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.

Juan, Alejandro, and Zacharaias came out last week to do some repairs in our crawl space and add a sump pump. They we're kind an curtious. Told us what would happen and showed us pictures at the end. I could see them working all day with smiles on their faces even though this is hard under the house, dirty, and hot at this time of year work. We are so thankful.

This interaction started with a negative, but was resolved so well that anything less than a 5 star review would be a lie. I was supposed to have someone come by and inspect my foundation on 02/07/26, but no one arrived. I informed the company of this on Sunday and received a follow up email from their customer service department almost immediately asking for more details. They took full ownership of the error (even though it was a simple matter of a calendar not updating), and I received a phone call from Dakota Roden first thing Monday, who apologized for the error and rescheduled the inspection. He called roughly 40 minutes prior to the appointment and assured me that he would be there as planned. He was professional, courteous, and explained the work that needed to be done and the options to do it incredibly well, and more than made up for what ended up being a completely understandable accident. They provided a discount that they didn’t have to give, but one for which I am incredibly grateful. I believe that how a company resolves issues is a much better gauge of their integrity and professionalism than doing so when everything is going well. I cannot recommend AFS of Knoxville, and specifically Dakota, more highly.

Dakota was my initial point of contact. He came out, did a full inspection of my driveway, and the foundation of my house, set me at ease with some issues and addressed the driveway that needed the foam injected to level it. Brandon and Chris were the ones to come do the job, and they were fantastic. Top notch. They walked me through the process beforehand — extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled. Driveway looks great.

Water in the crawl space – oh no! But Paul from Groundworks came, inspected, and assessed the situation. Mkoma, Robert, and Valdo did the work and were outstanding. They came on time, were efficient, considerate, and worked tirelessly for almost four days doing our crawl space encapsulation. They were respectful of our property, putting everything away and cleaning up after each day’s work, kept us informed about their progress, and answered any questions we had. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew – totally professional. Thank you Paul, Mkoma, Robert, and Valdo.

These guys take an OVERWHELMING process and make it simpler than my wife and I could have ever imagined. From the free no-pressure consultation with Bradley Cooper (no, not that one) to the actual lifting process, we always felt like we understood what was going on and they were excellent at respecting our schedules. Zach Lamos was our project leader through the process of actually putting the piers into the bedrock under the corner of our house that was sinking. He even came out on a Saturday to help me take some boards off of the deck in order to prepare for the pier process. We can't say enough about how this team helped to give us some peace of mind during what could easily become an absolute disaster of a project. If you are considering going with a different company, don't!

Jason was extremely professional with regard to his maintenance visit this morning. He went over everything he did, provided "what to do if" advice and took the time to answer our questions.
