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 reached out to Alpha Foundations for a quote on extensive driveway repairs caused by years of ground shifting and tree roots. I was concerned the damage would require a complete repour. A representative came to my home and conducted a thorough evaluation. The quote I received was very reasonable, and within a few days, two technicians, Hunter and Brad, arrived to work on my driveway and sidewalk. They were both meticulous and highly skilled. Thankfully, a full repour wasn’t necessary—they only needed to pour a small section, and the rest was repaired using an innovative technique. Throughout the process, they remained courteous, professional, and responsive, answering all my questions promptly. I highly recommend Alpha Foundations for anyone in need of driveway repairs.

Chris and Brandon came to stableize my slab. Chris did a good job of explaining what he was doing, and how he watched my existing cracks to see if they were contracting, or at one point he stopped the injection because the crack was expanding. He let me know of a void under the slab at one place that he was able to fill. And he did a great job of drilling in the grout between tiles so the tiles in the entry didn't chip. Brandon came along behind him and leveled off where the mixture came up through the holes, and dusted away concrete residue. The only reason I gave them 4 stars and not 5 is because they were late due to a meeting at headquarters that ran overtime, and when they hit my mailbox on the way out they didn't come back to tell me. But their work is 5-star.

I’ve always had the best experience with A1. They respond quickly and go above and beyond. I called on a Saturday because our water heater was leaking and made an appointment for Monday. They called me back a few hours later offering to come out Sunday without charging a weekend rate since they considered it more of an emergency so it could get resolved sooner. Now it’s Monday and I have a new water heater just like that! Fair pricing for great service and knowledgeable technicians.

We had our driveway and front porch steps stabilized. Alexander Fancher is great to work with. He explained everything thoroughly and was always on time and did what he said he was going to do. These days that is really appreciated. Alexander checked the whole driveway and not just the part that had sunk.
