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 helped my sister, Rebecca Morris get her sagging floors and foundation repaired on her home. We worked with Bryan Patrick from DFX. Bryan was great to work with and was very knowledgeable about his product and services as well as the repairs that were needed. He answered all our questions, was very punctual and accountable both before, during and after the work was completed. His team did an outstanding job leveling her floors, bracing the support beams and replacing bad floor joist. I would highly recommend DFX to anyone needing repairs on floors and foundations. Bryan and DFX were also the best price. They created drawings, and shared what all would need to be done, they were courteous and did excellent work. I would certainly use Bryan and the DFX team again. I give them 10 stars for making my sister happy. She is 84 years old and didn't have anywhere else to turn and DFX came through. Thank you Bryan and DFX. We really appreciate you. It was a pleasure meeting you and seeing your work completed. Thanks.

These guys are the best in the business! They repaired a leaky poured foundation, installed a battery backup and sump pump and fresh extended sump ejection line all before lunch. ———————————– When I first called FSM to come take a look at my foundation, they told me they were booking appointments 3 months out. I was like "dang that sucks" but I made the appointment and waited. I now realize why these dudes are so busy. They have their entire process including project evaluation, scheduling, permit requirements, inspection requirements, and the actual corrective work done to solve my foundation issue, down to a science. Dale was our first contact with the company. He came out and evaluated the crack I had in the wall and described why it was happening and what he recommended that I do to get it resolved. He was not pushy at all. He offered me less expensive alternatives and then "the right way" to do it and let me make the choice. He helped me schedule the work and took payment all in my kitchen. It was pretty seamless. He set a date that the workers would come out and they hit it. Some time prior to the crew coming out, I received a followup call from FSM confirming that I had the area cleared and the time the crew would be arriving. The morning of the job, everything happened as was described to me. Quentin H. called me the morning of letting me know they were enroute. I had to take my kids to school and said the door was open if they wanted to start bringing things in. Quentin and his crew (Anthony H. and Jordan S.) arrived promptly and got to work even though I wasn't there (thanks guys). I arrived shortly after they did and Quentin walked me through everything that was going to take place. He described the work that was going to be done and he already had the inspector on the way to approve things. He was extremely organized, calm, cool and collected. Before I had arrived, the crew had already laid down tons of tarps and plastic on my carpet in the basement so as not to get anything dirty. After they removed the plastic and tarps at the end of the job, you couldn't even tell they'd been there. Quentin, Anthony, and Jordan worked hard and got the whole job done and cleaned out of the house by about 1pm. If I had tried to do this myself, I'd still be knee deep in busted concrete and my wife would have left me long ago. After everything was wrapped up, Quentin walked me through all of the work once again to show me what was done, how to care for it, and how to operate some of the new equipment that had been installed. He even left me his personal cell phone number if I had any issues. I can't say enough good things about this company and this crew. Basement issues really suck and they are expensive to repair but when you have a company and a crew like this that are extremely well organized, professional, and efficient, it makes the whole thing a lot less sucky and really gives you some peace of mind.

Randall,Casey, and Andrew did an amazing job bracing and waterproofing my 90 year old home. With the storm we got this weekend, the basement was as dry as when they finished Friday. Very friendly, on time, and professional. Very hard working and great clean up. They explained everything thoroughly and I would not hesitate to recommend Dry Pro and ask for this great crew to do the installation! You will not be disappointed! David L. Satisfied Customer!
