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.

Brian Graham performed an inspection inside and underneath my small pier and beam home in northeast Dallas, TX on April 25th, 2024. He was punctual, professional, and personable. He communicated clearly the scope of the foundation problem by providing photos and a floor plan with elevations. In addition, his description of the proposed solution was understandable. He patiently answered my initial questions as well as my subsequent questions during the days after his inspection visit. Over the next several weeks, he patiently worked with me to schedule and reschedule the work to be performed as we had a series of atypical rainy weeks. Throughout the delayed scheduling process, I appreciated his responsiveness and agreeableness. He made the process easy by using all forms of communication, i.e., phone, email, text. Brian Graham is a valuable asset for FSS and an important member of their team! ###################### On July 9, 2024, a crew of about seven men from FSS performed the foundation repairs on my small pier and beam home in northeast Dallas, TX. They were focused, careful, and efficient as they did their work. I appreciated that they protected my carpet as they came in and out of my home and provided photos of the work they did upon completion of the project. ###################### Randy Blair, FSS Production Supervisor, was very helpful to me at the end of the foundation repair process on my small pier and beam home in northeast Dallas, TX. His role was to send the work crew to my home and then follow up with me after they completed the repairs. He was easy to talk with and was committed to my satisfaction. He answered my questions and concerns, listened patiently to my feedback, and responded appropriately to my subsequent requests. I appreciated his responsiveness and professionalism. –D Baker

Matt Bassi explained the process he would use to determine what our foundation needed. He made his measurements. Then he explained what he proposed GroundWorks would do for us. The price was in line with what I had expected. And, to my surprise, there was a discount for Veterans!

We were concerned about our floors and asked around for recommendations. Without hesitation, many people pointed us to Ohio Basement Authority. When we called, we spoke with Alan Lefebre, who came out to assess the issue. Alan was incredibly thorough and discovered that one of our main beams was compromised due to old termite damage. The damage had been missed because it was sandwiched between two healthy boards. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring we fully understood the situation and his recommendations. While the cost was significant, we realized that putting it off for years would only lead to bigger cost and bigger issues. This is an investment in our home, and we believe it will be worth it. Alan was easy to talk to, patient, and never rushed through the process. He even took the time to educate us about the effects of salt on our concrete steps, pointing out how it could cause damage over time. His knowledge, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile made a huge impression on us. We highly recommend reaching out to Alan Lefebre at Ohio Basement Authority if you’re dealing with foundation concerns. His expertise and professionalism made all the difference!

The gentlemen (Daylan, Nick and Mike) that competed the work were terrific. They kept me well informed and did an excellent job. They found the source of leak that was different than what I originally thought and explained the issue to my plumber. They left the area cleaned and removed all debris. I would highly recommend them. They explained how the sump pump worked as well as the backup battery and what I should do if there was an issue. The gentleman (Bob Massaro) that explained the services that I needed, and price did an excellent job showing me the areas of issues, and how the Baker's would fix the issues. He answered all my questions and was available. Since we ran into an unexpected issue, he came to my house during the work, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Baker's Waterproofing.
