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.

Tori and Chris are top shelf, hard-working, personable, perfectionists, who don’t settle for “good enough.” They explained what they would do to lift my sidewalk and driveway, how their product works, and left my property cleaner than they found it. They took time to show me what they were doing as they were working and patiently answered my questions. Their work was exceptional and my driveway and sidewalk look great! I couldn’t be more pleased. Alpha Foundations has at least two guys who are fantastic at what they do.

Our house was built in 1931 and I was fairly certain it was sinking. I called Brice at Innovative Basement and told him my entire long theory on what I thought was happening.He was incredibly patient and said that could be happening but quite unlikely, please let me take a look.He drove up to Duluth from Rush City and put my mind at ease when he said, this is super simple, you only need two supports installed.My vision of having to have the house lifted to the tune of 6 figures was put to rest. I had another company take a look and they agreed to assessment but wanted $2000 more for the work. I went with Brice and Innovative.Their crew of Steven W, Codi S and Zane came rolling in and I can say I don't think there is a crew that enjoys their job more, has more fun doing it and is incredibly professional, capable, respectful and put my mind to ease. They know what to do, how to do it and do it right. We had immediate results and I'm so grateful for the referral. I highly recommend them! Five stars for all of them all the way!

Our initial sidewalk lifting & repair was was not what we expected, however the company sent another crew that did an exceptional job! They were professional, knowledgeable and went above & beyond in their effort to improve the initial repair. The completed job was very good and we appreciate the company standing by their claim to meet customer expectations. The workers Patrick & Raphael not only did an outstanding job, they were also meticulous in the clean-up. They truly exhibit a positive customer service attitude for which we were very grateful!

We had JES fix our foundation and mold problems. Our craw space was in bad shape from living with a hill behind us and rain water always running in our direction. We would get a text every morning on what time they would be here. It would be three or four guys everyday doing the work. Joey Donohue, Jose Diaz and Pedro Liontop did a great job. They were very nice and answered all my question even down to checking my dryer vent to make sure in was clear. ( which I’m sure was not part of the job) They cleaned up everything when they were all done and took all trash with them. I highly recommend using JES for your craw space problems. As you can see my craw space looks brand new. Thank you JES And I almost forgot Steve Hurysz for meeting with us and going over all our needs to improve our craw space. Thank you Steve

We had Richard out to review our project after the crew completed work and I will say Richard is a young and talented supervisor, he was attentive and knowledgeable in the process and products and treated us kindly while helping us understand the project with the hundreds of questions we asked. He constantly kept in contact with us during the entire process and never let us worry!! I have ZERO complaints on how awesome and sweet he is! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone needing work with Groundwork’s!!

From the beginning with Michael Byrd doing the initial (free) inspection to the installation by Cameron, Ben, and Tammy, Alpha Foundations was great to work with and my crawlspace was encapsulated to a very high level of quality. I got superior products and have great confidence that the system will do what it is supposed to. During installation, they kept me well informed, told me what time they would be starting each day and kept the area clean. I would certainly recommend Alpha Foundations to anyone needing a crawlspace mitigation.

Hunter Holmes, inspector for Foundations Recovery Systems was very helpful. He was on time, excellent pre arrival communication. He was cordial while here, offering to wear white booties in the house over his shoes and very polite. Thorough! Spent time educating me and showing me all the options for helping me with my crawl space. Look forward to seeing good quality work! More to follow with the actual work, but the initial inspection and consultation gets 5 stars easily.
