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.

So beyond pleased with Tarheel Basement Systems! I'm a 2-year customer as of this week. A complete encapsulation, french drains, sump pump and dehumidifier. I receive an inspection each year around this time, my representative was John Snow, was amazing, so polite, punctual, kept me up to date on his arrival via text and phone, it was so pleasant seeing someone who "gets" customer service , and John does! He informed me my dehumidifier was not working, and would be replaced under warranty, and like clockwork as John said, he replaced it today! The easiest replacement ever, he arrived worked diligently, above and beyond! Again, beyond pleased!

Alex, Marcus and Josue were efficient, professional, and quite enjoyable to work with. They worked around my landscaping, had great attitudes, paid attention to detail, informed us of what was going on, what to expect next and how to finish the project. Nothing rattled them. They were patient, and very good at their jobs. Alex was foreman on our job and was very patient and kind. We needed that attitude and it went a long way in not making us feel in the way, or a bother to them. Thank you for that! Now let the polyfoam fun begin next. Thanks guys!

Groundworks saved my home. I recently bought my family's first house. I was devastated to learn that there was a ton of undisclosed damage to the foundation. I scheduled a free consultation and inspection with Groundworks. Jonathan came out for that, and really took his time to review the damage and make sure my home would get the support it needed. He found parts of my home were sunk into the ground over two inches. It was a big job. It was a huge relief to know that we did not need to leave the house or get a hotel room for the duration of the construction. Jordan and Joshua did the digging and peir installation. They were super professional, punctual, and communicative. They explained everything they were doing as they were doing it, and answered any questions I had. When I thought they were going to take the day off due to poor weather, they still showed up at 7:30am with panchos on, ready to work in the rain. These guys were efficient. After the house had been lifted, it was time to stitch some cracks and inject foam into the concrete slab. Alex and Manny came into the house for that second portion of the job. Again, these two were professional, punctual, communicative, and just very straightforward. This house is the biggest purchase i'll ever make, and the livelihood of my entire family is riding on the integrity of the foundation. All these men treated this situation with the same gravity as I do. It was as serious to them as it is to me. You can't ask for better service than that. I'm so grateful for Jonathan, Jordan, Joshua, Alex, Manny, and the whole Groundworks crew. Thank you all so much. -Mike from Antioch

We had piers added to our 3-season room. Tyler did a great job with the excavator, minimized the mess to the yard and house even though we got over an inch of rain the day he dug it up. Very professional and pleasant to work with. He is coming back to place the concrete patio back in June after the soil settles. Likewise working with Reina who came and pumped concrete under out 3-season floor after the foundation was prepared. She communicated well and did a nice job. Top notch workmanship from Groundworks (FSM). My room is level and all the doors and windows work again. Thanks FSM

I have used Tar Heel Basement Systems on three different occasions and found them to do excellent work. Recently I had my existing sump pump replaced with a dual pump with a battery back up. Austin Moody and Chris Perdomo did a beautiful install and explained the operation to me. They even hauled off an old pump for me.

Howard came out to do an inspection in my basement for water damage/leaking. He was absolutely amazing! I liked that he had videos detailing exactly what they were going to do. He gave me an opportunity to ask questions before I had the work perform instead of during. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Ohio Basement authority is awesome, when it came to my free inspection I found out all of my beams were compromised from water damage. Kevin Sweeney did a wonderful job of helping me find what I needed for my basement. When it came to the work itself Wynn Hines, Delontae Oliver, and Anthony Efford did an amazing job of getting my basement done with quality and very quickly. These guys deserve a big thank you for getting my basement done in a timely manner. Who knows how much worse it could’ve gotten if not for them.
