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.

It was a pleasure to meet with Jason this morning. I gave 5 stars because he was very responsive, very knowledgeable and he took the time to answer my questions and any concerns I have regarding my current drainage system installed by a different company. Should we decide to add to or modify our existing drainage we will certainly contact him. I already gave his contact information to my neighbor who just may need Jason’s services in the future. Thank you Jason!

Last week, I was "hosting" three young men from Indiana Foundation at a "basement repair party" at my home. I have to say that these three young men were absolutely amazing. Never have I ever been in the company of such men who were so happy to do their jobs. Dakota, Desmon, and Johntae never slowed down on their job, and they never seemed not to enjoy the company of each other. I live alone and since they left, I have been troubled by the silence. It's not the lack of noise of the drilling; it's the lack of laughter that I miss. Never once did I hear any of them loose his temper or say anything that did not cause laughter from each other. They did their job very well. They all three deserve applause for a job well done! They are amazing!!!

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.

Absolutely amazing transformation of our sunken slabs of sidewalk and steps! Everything has been perfectly leveled and Danila is a master at his craft. Valeri also worked efficiently and carefully through the whole process. We had a very complex section of broken concrete steps, landing and walkway that was a continuous pour up against the side of our garage. They were able to effortlessly level a 3 foot thick landing section of concrete that was 5 feet wide with steps down to an 18 inch thick connected walkway that was also 5 feet wide and 6 feet long. Truly incredible! Also, everyone connected to the company were very professional and very meticulous, from the receptionist to the estimator to the workers and communication was excellent through the whole process. We could not be happier with our results and they are highly, highly recommended!

Super service… able to reschedule concrete lifting job before originally scheduled. Parris Houghins and Benjamin Esparza kept us in the loop from the time to set out until they arrived. Parris explained the entire job, the approximate time it would take, and asked if I had any questions. I told him my concerns and he understood my requirements. He and Benjamin started and when finished explained what was done, how it was done, and asked if I had any questions or concerns. They even cleaned the work area and left the area spic and span! Two excellent workers are shining stars at AFS.

Nasir T. and his team–Rahad N., Steve G., and Brian M.–did an excellent job! They arrived on time, respected my home, and worked hard to meet high standards. Their dedication made me feel confident and reassured. My home needed support to fix sagging floors. Nasir and his team explained the process to me and often asked if I had questions. Whether I did or not, the team continuously pointed out key details and shared information as they worked to ensure I understood the project. Everyone was very informative and professional. They've all patiently addressed my concerns, which helped me feel more at ease. I am very pleased with the results. I will choose Groundworks for future projects and recommend the company to others. Trusting that the work is done right the first time is important. Thank you again! -Nicole Cunningham
