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.

We saw a couple of cracks in our walls and were concerned about our foundation. We called Foundation Support Specialists. They responded quickly. When Jonathan showed up, he was on time, friendly, courteous, and very professional. He spent almost 2 hours checking every inch. His honesty and integrity was evident when he said there were absolutely no foundation issues. He did make a couple of recommendations for aesthetic fixes. I would highly recommend FSS and Jonathan Spinks

I received a very fair estimate from Levi Harris @ AFS. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. Levi was very helpful and explained how they lift the concrete and the products they use. Unfortunately I have to look into some electrical issues before any repair can be done. I would recommend this company and hope to use them in the future. Thanks again Levi and AFS, everyone was friendly and helpful, I appreciate it.

We are so pleased with the work Groundworks did for us. Our job was completed in two phases. We were especially pleased with the 2nd crew who came in to complete the work on Christmas Eve! A Great big THANK YOU to Rosalino, Esteban, Juan and Oscar! These guys were focused and committed to doing a super professional job in spite of the fact that it was Christmas Eve! Our salesman, Zach Milligan was very knowledgable and never tired of our endless questions! We felt valued as a customer and that our job mattered to them. We highly recommend Groundworks.

I highly recommend Scott Cisco! As soon as he left our house I knew I wanted to leave him a personal review and a company review. Scott was very kind, thorough, and he gained my trust quickly at his initial appointment. He listened to everything I had to say, did his own careful assessment, and didn’t come off as salesy – I felt as if I was talking with a neighbor or friend. You can tell he has your best interest at heart in his recommendations. I would trust his recommendations with my home time and time again, and I’ll be recommending him to anyone I know who needs foundation/waterproofing services. In addition, I really love how Foundation Systems Recovery was quick to get us scheduled. Other places I called were booked out for weeks. I called Foundation Systems on a Friday and they were able to get me in on a Monday, which is great when you’re dealing with a stressful water situation. On top of that, they gave me an appt time and Scott was on time, called me when he was on his way AND they have a gps link tracker that allows you to see in real time what the ETA will be – super convenient. I was hesitant to use a big multi-state company over a smaller business, but I’m glad I used Foundation Systems Recovery. Again, thank you and thank you Scott!

Foundation Recovery Systems is an elite company in an unreliable industry. Of the three companies we called to get a quote, Foundation Recovery Systems was the only company to show up on time, give a reasonable quote, and make us understand how they would fix the issue. We are delighted with all the work their team did for us!

If you have the opportunity to work with Kevin MacDonald, we highly recommend him. He is super honest, thorough, friendly, and made sure we were in the know with everything he was doing while inspecting our property. He saved us thousands of dollars by confirming nothing is wrong with our property when another competitor told us opposite just to get paid. We will definitely be contacting Kevin if we ever need our foundation looked at in the future. Thank you, Kevin!

I did not include a photo because the photos you see in their ads are very accurate. I was a property manager for 20 years and I have never had anyone do a better job than this team. Yes, it was expensive, but they solved a water intrusion problem and made the crawl space clean enough to sleep in. Our crawl space entrance is in an awkward closet and they protected the floors and kept everything immaculate while digging a drainage trench, installing a thick, clean barrier and a sump pump.
