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.

Ohio Basement Authority did phenomenal work. Our inspector, David D was incredibly professional and obviously passionate about what he does. From start to finish he meticulously explained what was going on and how to fix it, all while easing concerns and answering any questions that we had. Our installation crew, Iran H, Chris H, and Zach K were awesome. They were professional, courteous, and weren’t invasive or disruptive in the slightest. I especially want to point out that these guys came out and worked in about a foot of snow and below freezing temperatures on both of the days that they were out. You’re not going to get that from the competition. If you want a sump pump system with proper drainage installed, and you want it installed right, OBA is the way to go.

I was in the process of deciding whether to do a new front porch or try to get my front porch leveled. I called Indiana Foundation and was put in touch with Kevin Clinebelle for an appointment and was extremely satisfied with the level of knowledge from Kevin and how Kevin took the time to explain things to me. We decided to go with a new porch due to the fact as Kevin indicated, that the brick may not be salvageable. I can tell you this, if I was going to have my foundation or porch leveled I would use Indiana Foundation because of Kevin. Kevin was polite, Knowledgeable and genuinely cared about how I was moving forward and agreed with the process we chose. He was not pushy and he was not a typical salesman who only cares about making a sale. Don’t get me wrong, Kevin would’ve loved to have the work, but it just didn’t make sense as that was explained to me after I told Kevin of the situation. Just for Kevin to take the time and talk to me and listen to me means a lot In today’s business world. It is truly nice to know that there’s businesses like Indiana Foundation and people like Kevin who are not just focused on getting the sale at any cost. Thanks again Kevin for all the great advice!

JES was a great experience: Original contact Josh was on time, professional, friendly, knowledgeable. Explained the process and realistic expectations. Set repair date less than a week away. Installers called to notify of arrival time. CJ and Truman were on time, very polite and personable. Explained what they were going to do to be sure we were in agreement and how they were going to do it and discussed expected result. They were very proficient at the process. Repair was complicated covered entryway but outcome was excellent. CJ and Truman very competent and pleasant. Work site was clean and neat on departure. These people know what they are doing and are very good at it. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience with Foundation Recovery Systems and especially with their Field Inspector, Ken Jordan. Ken was super thorough when inspecting my house, and he really took the time to explain what was going on and what needed to be fixed. What I appreciated the most was that he didn’t try to upsell me or push for anything unnecessary—just honest, straightforward recommendations. You can tell Ken knows his stuff, and he was professional while still being easy to talk to. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. If you’re dealing with foundation issues and want someone who’s knowledgeable and trustworthy, ask for Ken Jordan. Highly recommend!

Zach was excellent, everything was thoroughly explained, he was very professional. Even though I have construction experience, I just listened, allowing my wife to learn and ask questions. In my opinion, his work here was spot on. I will definitely recommend foundation recovery systems to anyone who asks me about their foundation.

We had two crews at the same time. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Both crews got their work done in a very reasonable time and they were on their way. Before leaving they had videos and pictures to show the crawl space improvement. These folks show up! There was very little time between the initial call and completion of the job.

My first great impression came from my phone call to see about scheduling an appointment. The young lady answered the phone right before 5 on a Friday and then scheduled a time the very next morning to have a rep come out. Mack Suits was the first man out to take a look at our home. I was impressed that he was willing to show up on a Saturday. The man is a top notch pro! Without hesitation, he crawled into very tight crawl space like a groundhog, took pics and showed me exactly what the problems were, then presented his plan to fix it. The following week Taylor Fox, David Ennis and Leuri Fraire showed up right on time as scheduled. All pros as well. They were very considerate of our home and did great work for what I consider a very fair price. I could not recommend AFS highly enough!

We had an outstanding experience with Aquaguard. Our Sales Rep, Adrian, provided a recommendation with pictures included. The installers, Sammy and Cornbread, were extremely knowledgeable and the results were perfect. No more water in the crawl space, and no more sagging floors. I would recommend Aquaguard to anyone!

My experience with Groundworks/Tulsa has been excellent! They came out and gave an estimate on the crawl space work that needed to be done and set up a date for the work to be completed. Three employees, Anthony, Dez and Austin completed the work as requested and I was very pleased by their promptness and the work. I would recommend their service!
