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.

Joe A. and his team crushed our crawlspace encapsulation. They came out the start day and walked the job site with me and put my mind at ease. Joe worked late the first day to make sure the job got done but had to return to install a pump to the dehumidifier. They did it this morning which took them no time. I would recommend JES and Joe’s team to anyone in need of waterproofing or encapsulation.

Chris, Zack and Luck did a professional job and informative on progress during the job. They were determined to finish in a timely manner in-spite the difficulty of an exceptionally harder than usual ground. Due to a lack of rain in our area, the ground which is like the black gumbo mess was instead more like cement. I would recommend them to anyone needing work on their foundation or pier and beam home. The other popular companies didn’t want to mess with the project. Thank you Groundwork’s 😊

After water issues with our basement became apparent with the recent heavy rains, Foundation Recovery was one of the first places my husband and I called to get a quote. We had an incredibly thorough appointment with Justin Sheehan today and he went over everything we could think of and so many things we didn’t think of! We were presented with information on the company, why basements get water typically, and what solutions would work best for our situation. Everything was thorough and thought out with care. No stone was left unturned! We are absolutely grateful to Justin for the time he spent with us and our basement/foundation issues.

We were extremely satisfied working with Goundworks and particularly with Wyatt Serta who was the foreman on our job. Prior to the job, Wyatt came several times to make sure that the problems with groundwater under our house would be addressed properly. This included going underneath to see where the water intrusion was occurring during the rain! He is extremely knowledge about planning the installation of a sump pump and vapor barrier. He is also patient and willing to explain in detail each step in the process. We also observed him working with his crew. He communicated with them in a friendly and supportive manner. It was a pleasure to have him in charge of the vapor barrier installation at our house. Amy L. Santa Cruz

Start to finish great experience. From Shawn coming out to view the issue recommending and pricing the solution to Carlos, Julian and Clay who did a fantastic job installing drain, pier and matting. And not to forget Dave who did the electrical work. We’re in north Georgia mountains over 2 hours from Atlanta was so glad AquaGuard travels this far.
