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 would highly recommend FSM! Miguel and his crew, JasmanY V, and Jose V were polite, hard working, and efficient workers. Miguel kept me informed throughout the process of the progress they were making, showing me and explaining exactly what they were doing. When a change was made to the original contract, it was discussed with me, and I received a prompt call back first thing in the next morning, agreeing on a credit to my account. The worksite was all clean when they left. Job well done!

We had three projects completed recently in our basement. Chris was our first contact who assessed the needs and he provided full information and recommendations for the work required. Andrew and his crew came in first to install a sump and a radon mitigation system. Michael then came in to repair a crack in the foundation. All technicians were friendly, well prepared, experienced and professional. They all thoroughly explained everything they would be doing and answered any questions we had. The jobs were all completed quickly and with attention to details such as leaving the work areas in very clean condition. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend Groundworks.

We recently used Groundworks to lift our house due to noticeable bounce in the floors, significant sloping in the kitchen and other areas and generally uneven surfaces that even caused a door jam and prevented a door from closing properly. We also had a concerning crack on the wall. We were impressed from the very beginning. Matthew conducted a thorough initial inspection, patiently addressing all of our (my husband and my) questions, concerns, and opinions with remarkable attention to detail. This thoroughness continued with Foreman Brandon and his crew Quandarius Turner, and Gabe, who completed the house lifting expertly. Brandon was particularly accommodating and clearly explained all the necessary adjustments, and the end result is just incredible. This was the best quote we have ever gotten, but what truly sealed the deal was the professionalism and expertise of the entire Groundwork team, including Matthew, Brandon, Quandarius Turner , and Gabe. We highly recommend them! Mr. And Mrs. Smith

Denis G. is very thorough and professional with the annual maintenance of our sump pump. He cleans it up and lets us know that there’s no need to replace it this year yet! He also advised us to let our home insurance know that we have an auxiliary battery powered sump pump which may result a saving in our premium. As an extra mile service, Dennis checked our air quality and provided helpful advice to improve air quality. We have him installed an air purifier in our house. We experience a noticeable improvement in our air in a short time. Thank you Dennis for your patience to answer my many questions. You are very knowledgeable indeed! Hope to see you again next year for your outstanding service!

We hired Groundworks for a major crawlspace project and had a good experience. They were able to schedule us sooner than expected, which was a great bonus. The entire team was professional, hardworking, and incredibly respectful. Communication with Dan, the superintendent overseeing the project, was excellent—he kept us informed every step of the way. Crew members Ryan, Ronald, and Ricardo were diligent, kind, and truly dedicated to their work. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Groundworks and would recommend them.
