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.

The whole process, from learning all of my options to the completion of the job went very smoothly. The work got done in a timely manner and the men (Derek Trask, Eric Andrades, Ulises Fuentes) who did the encapsulation were very nice and hard-working. They finished in the time they said they would. I would recommend these guys.

Both crews did exceptional work, Nick Bohal and Josh Bomar called and said they could come by a day earlier than expected if that was ok, so we said sure. They worked well together and explained each step they were doing, which made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend the whole experience to anyone needing foundation repair. Kind of expensive but quality ain't cheap. Thanks, guys!

We had a garage floor that had a corner dropping. I also had a toolshed with a similar problem. Finally, we had a poorly laid driveway that had horrible cracks. Groundworks created a plan for the work. The garage floor was fully lifted, the shed is level again and the cracks are sealed in the driveway to give us a little longer before having to have a whole new one poured. The crew were professional. We had to have the job done in parts due to snow on the driveway. They were great about helping us schedule. Very happy to recommend them.

We had Alejandro Dionte’s crew at the house adding support and adjusting others for the day. They all worked hard, were thorough, left minimal mess, and did a great job. Alejandro was professional, personable, spent a lot of time with us to address our concerns, and wouldn’t leave until we were 100% satisfied! Great crew!

Groundwork’s is awesome. The staff is friendly, smart, and very humorous to work with. We spent a couple of days with Hunter, Joseph and Carter. They were so respectful and polite, they did a fantastic job of leveling out our driveway and garage floor, Hunter even went out of his way to cut some broken concrete so we could replace it. We are very happy customers.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Groundworks for coming out to my house and leveling my garage floor, drive way and side walk with the firms Poly process. It looks great and I appreciate that the two guys that were in charge and did all the work was Zech & Jose were awesome! Also, I wanna give a special shout out to West Foreman, Chase, who looks like Travis Kelce, and the third guy that I can’t remember his name, but did a great job on the structural part to lift my foundation that did a great job. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention what a great initial sales job and inspection and just all around was there during the whole process with Codi Martin. I will be recommending Groundworks to everyone. Thanks guys, David and Kelley Cox

Earle and his crew worked hard and when they were done they cleaned everything up beautifully. They went the extra mile for me and moved some heavy things back in place when they were done, especially Earle. My front and back doors now work perfectly. Thank you, Earle! The one issue I have with Groundworks is the “order now and get an additional discount”. That really cheapened the whole experience for me.
