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 had an excellent experience with Groundworks, particularly with their Certified Field Specialist, James Riley. I purchased my home in 2022 and have noticed progressive cracks in the walls and bathroom that appear consistent with normal settling. During the recent cold spell, some of these cracks seemed to worsen, and although I suspected this wasn’t a major foundation issue, I wanted a professional assessment to understand how concerned I should be. James came out to evaluate the house, and from the start he took my concerns seriously. I had initially worried that, without a clear foundation failure, my situation might be dismissed—but that was not the case. James spent over an hour thoroughly inspecting the home and walking me through possible causes, what signs to monitor, and practical steps I could take moving forward. His explanations were clear, honest, and never alarmist. In addition to addressing my original concerns, he also evaluated my sump pump system and identified some issues that, while likely unrelated to the cracking, could be improved with a modified setup. I appreciated his thoroughness and willingness to look at the bigger picture of the home’s health. Overall, I was very satisfied with the evaluation and professionalism James provided. If I ever need foundation or waterproofing work in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Groundworks again based on this experience.

We had a great experience working with Daniel Cippone. Our battery back up sump pump isn’t working. His explanations on why it needed to be replaced and the process for doing so were very clear. He was very professional from the moment he called to say he was on his way to how he spoke to us. His approach made us comfortable with our decision to move ahead. Thank you Daniel Ciponne and Groundworks!

Matt Bassi with Groundworks met me at our church in Belton on Sat May 16th. Matt was incredibly kind, and empathetic to the problems of our church especially, in our basement below the Sanctuary. He is truly a gentleman Who knows his business. He understands the needs of our church and he was incredibly thorough in his investigation. He had to crawl into the crawlspace and the basement area below the sanctuary. In addition he to me a very in-depth understanding of our potential options. I didn’t feel he was making a hard sale and he was speaking in a manner I could understand. Good Job Matt and we look forward to our next step in addressing our buildings problem.

I recently had my crawlspace encapsulated by this company. The foreman, Riley, was very professional and knowledgeable, answering all my questions and explaining what they were doing and why. His crew was equally professional and friendly, working quickly and efficiently to get the job on time, and left the area cleaner than they found it. I strongly recommend this company for this kind of work.

We had a fantastic experience with Bay Area Underpinning, lifting our foundation four and a half inches of our old 1958 Napa house! After careful review of several contractors, we chose Bay Area Underpinning and so glad we did! The entire process was smooth from the sales engineer estimate to the completion of the job, the communication was outstanding all along from day to day and ourblift was a big job with a full week of labor intensive work. I especially want to thank Foreman Cody Summers, Co-Foreman Ken Hamlin, and Installer Nikolas Klein for their outstanding work and customer service! They are the best and ensured that I was happy with the progress and completely satisfied. I also want to thank Superintendent Kevin Gaeden for his outstanding communication! My wife and I are completely satisfied and happy with the outcome! It was a great choice with great value after the job was complete! We would hire Bay Area Underpinning all over again! Thank you very much for a job well done!

They came out to replace our sump pump and did an excellent job from start to finish. The team of three (Isaiah, Clayton and Lamar) was professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. They worked well together, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and made sure the area was clean before they left. It’s such a relief knowing the job was done right. I truly appreciate their hard work and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing this type of service!

I had a really good overall experience with Groundworks. The service they did for us was technically "concrete lifting", although it was just filling voids underneath our porch steps and driveway, since there wasn't any sinking yet. Their salesman/inspector was very thorough in his assessment and worked with us on different options. We were comfortable having him in our home to walk through the process and costs with us. The actual installation team was also very good to work with! We had Joseph, Hunter, and Cameron do the actual poly foam work and they were a great group; very professional but also personable. We are especially happy that they have the yearly check-in option where they come check everything out once a year to make sure there are no issues. The only problem we experienced with Groundworks was that they scheduled the install day with us early on, but never told us a timeframe. I reached out the day before the install to ask when they would be coming, but never got a response and they ended up coming at a time that didn't work for us. So my one suggestion would be that Groundworks needs to have an automated message to tell customers the estimated timeframe of arrival for the installation team THE DAY BEFORE, rather than just the courtesy text 30 minutes before they arrive the day of. But they were able to reschedule a couple of days later and give me a timeframe estimate, so it ended up working out either way.
