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.

My inspector, Carter Lassiter, was very professional and educational in helping me understand exactly what I needed to have done underneath my house to ensure my 100 yr+ historical home remained in tact. Prior to Carter coming out, I had paid another company to do what I thought was going to fix my crawl space and unfortunately after one year I started to see issues arise again. Wood rot, moisture, etc. When Sam and Josh (the production team) arrived, they were just as professional and informative of the work they would be doing in my crawlspace. I felt confident from the first inspection all the way to the production team who completed the work to correct and truly fix my crawlspace. Having a warranty from Tarheel Basement makes me feel much more comfortable this go round compared to who I used before. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

I have some minor cracks around my home I wanted a professional opinion on. The Groundwork’s team and Rory W. were great! He worked around the times I was available. Then he came out and did an inspection on my home free of charge. He explained all the technical inspections he was doing and made sure I understood everything. I can’t recommend this company enough. Super helpful and professional.

I want to thank Tim Martin for providing a prompt and thorough inspection of the crawl space of my Greensboro home. He took extensive photos of the crawl space area and provided expert advice on what needed to be done. I also want to thank the team of foreman Robert Hacker, Josh Murphy, and Tyree for all of their hard work— and during days when the outdoor temperature was in the nineties, it was very hard work indeed! They did a great job removing the old insulation, encapsulating the crawl space, and installing the sump pump and dehumidifier. They were all very polite, helpful, and professional. I am grateful to Tim M., Robert H.,Josh M., and Tyree. I would definitely recommend Tar Heel Basement Systems, especially this particular group!

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Dalton, Cam, and Jack for the amazing work they do. All three of them consistently go above and beyond, and it truly shows in the quality of their work and their professionalism. They’re not only hardworking but also respectful, reliable, and always willing to step up when needed. It’s rare to come across a team that takes this much pride in what they do, and it definitely does not go unnoticed. If you ever have the chance to work with Dalton, Cam, and Jack, you’re in great hands. They set the standard for what great service should look like.

I am so impressed by the project execution of Manuel Guzman, Jose Cruz, and Jose Estrada. My crawl space and foundation project actually came in under budget and ahead of schedule thanks to Manuel's keen attention to detail. They worked here for six days to install sump pumps, dehumidifier, three piers, replace beam supports, and encapsulate the crawl space. They were on time, orderly, diligent, and professional. I am definitely going to sleep easier knowing that the air I'm breathing in my home is no longer filled with mildew, and that my home is structurally sound. Thank you JES!
