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.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Groundworks. We had damage to our foundation, driveway, and entryway walk, caused by poor construction practices and extreme Texas Weather. Our initial inspection and face-to-face conversation with the project consultant, Pedro Alejandro, was very relaxed and informative and we felt no pressure at all to commit to a project. In fact, we had three extended conversations with Pedro regarding what was needed to stabilize our house, and we learned a lot about a complicated process. Pedro did not rush our decision and was open and responsive to every question we had for him. The decision to work with Groundworks was an easy one. On January 26, the day the work began, the crew arrived earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. Our foreman, Jose Navarro, met me in the front yard and introduced his team: Fernando Aleman, Xander Rhodes, and another gentleman named Albert (I can't read my own writing, otherwise, I would include his last name, as well!) We were given an overview of the repair processes, with an open invitation to ask questions, which we took full advantage of. The guys answered every question we had thoroughly with smiles on their faces. All of the men on our job were extremely polite, knowledgeable and very focused on their work. The crew that arrived first was joined later in the day by Nathan Kamin and Isaac Siniard, who are the specialists assigned to the foam injection/lifting for the driveway and entry walkway. These guys worked from the time they arrived until the time they left for the day. The original projected timeline was three days to complete the repairs. However, there were challenges associated with hitting bedrock on our property that extended the project to a full five days. The foreman did an awesome job of keeping us informed on their progress. When the work was complete, the guys cleaned up the minimal mess the job had caused and made sure we didn't have any additional questions or concerns before they left. Since the job's completion, we have not noticed any more indicators of settling, the house doesn't creak and groan like it used to, and we are beginning the cosmetic repairs to the inside of the house (cracked sheetrock and such). I highly recommend Groundworks to anyone facing settling walkways or driveways, or foundation settling that needs corrections. I could not be happier with the end results! Though I hope I do not have to address any additional foundation repairs, trust me when I say, if I do, I will certainly call Groundworks first.

Rick Duncan was excellent! He walked with me through the initial inspection, explained what he was seeing, the cause of the issues, how it would be addressed and how it could be further mitigated. He was able to answer all the questions I had with great detail. He even gave me a few home improvement tips! When it came to pricing, he was very empathetic and worked with me to make sure I got the best deal considering price, safety, and quality. At no point did I feel like I was on the other end of a sales pitch. Rick is very knowledgeable and experienced in this area and it shows.

We had extensive foundation issues that needed remediation. We contacted JES Foundation Repair. JES sent a Certified Field Inspector who performed a complete interior and exterior inspection and recommended the repairs needed. Next, Foreman Rob Dye and Juan Alverez were sent to perform the repairs.They were extremely professional, fast, polite and hard working. They answered all of our questions and made the experience far less stressful for us. They even worked one Sunday and Christmas Eve to complete the project as fast as possible. We cannot be more pleased with the job and the professionalism the crew displayed. Don’t procrastinate with potential foundation issues. Our foundation was in stage 4 failure. Stage 5 is foundation collapse. We recommend calling JES for a free detailed inspection before it’s too late. We are glad we called.

I would like to share my positive experience with Groundworks. Logan, the field representative for Groundworks set up an appointment and was thorough about how the process worked and the expectations and a timeline. In all cases throughout the process he was on time. He knew what he was doing and he knew the process for this type of work to be done to foundation. Real estate assets are very critical in our day and age and it could be distressing seeing the foundation. The very structure of your asset potentially cause massive damage to the whole structure. It was reassuring knowing that the representative Logan knew the process and knew what was required to fix my particular situation. I highly recommend Logan and the groundworks staff and company.
