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.

We had James Tobin come by and do up an estimate for my mum today. She has a brick wall that's been standing for over 40 years with no problems (house was built in the early 1960's), until a big new house was built next door. They excavated right to (even a little past in places) the property line where the foundation for this brick wall is. Once done the deep basement construction, they didn't properly tamp down the ground around this new house and as a result, there still are some significant slumping issues. Including this 40+ year old brick wall, which has now cracked and has developed a lean, which is getting worse almost daily. The developer and builder of this new house refused to take any responsibility. We've had a few bricklayers come and take a look and their recommendation has been to tear down the wall and rebuild, or even suggesting to make do with a wooden fence in its place. Mum (who's 85) has been quite upset through all this, especially being buffaloed by that builder. But, after the initial online contact form and some pre-appointment calls with Groundworks, along came James Tobin this morning and the weight of all this drama, has been, for the most part, lifted. James did an excellent job of explaining who Groundworks is and what they do, how they think they can alleviate the situation and gave a thorough explanation of the technology and process involved to achieve success. James was on-time, proficient, competent, understanding and friendly. Everything you could ask for when someone comes to your door to help solve a problem! Now, if only that #@$%@&> of a developer/builder had taken this path, we wouldn't be in this mess! But, there you go. So, if you ever find yourself needing the services of concrete lifting / remediation (and the like – they do a lot) company – do not hesitate in contacting Groundworks and ask for James Tobin specifically! You'll be glad that you did! We're very happy with his visit!

We had a concrete patio lifted and a void filled under the concrete pad at our back door. Everything was done in a professional manner. Conner VB and Tymen were respectful and worked well together. They did an awesome job. I had a small concern after they left and they were right back to correct the issue first thing in the next morning. Fast and efficient service. I will be calling Ground Works again in the future to come and do my driveway. The pricing was also reasonable.

William Brunson came to my house to evaluate it for foundation repair, and it was easily the most transparent, simplified experience I've had with a home repair contractor, to date. He was personable, courteous, thorough and set my expectations for the next steps appropriately. This company appears to have a great model for delivering quality customer experience. I was very impressed and will likely move forward. Pricing is competitive and financing options are attractive.

This is clearly the best basement, crawl space, foundation, waterproofing, and concrete lifting company in Ohio. Everyone, from the management to the skilled work crews, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, well-trained and transparent. I wouldn’t recommend any other company to address such important issues. I am very pleased to operate within this company and have the opportunity to serve homeowners in the way I do.

Tim Hooper from FSM completed my 1-year basement inspection after a waterproofing job and was outstanding. He arrived on time, was professional and thorough, and clearly explained his findings and any recommended maintenance in plain language. He took photos, answered all my questions, and left me confident the system is performing as expected. Highly recommend Tim and FSM for reliable, knowledgeable service!
