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 was completely satisfied with the entire process of having a new sump pump with battery back-up installed by Groundworks. Ronald and Remi were both very professional, and courteous when they came to quote the job. And Lucio and the crew were also very professional and courteous. I was impressed with Lucios' experience and workmanship and friendly manner (same for the workers). Lots of attention to detail and they left the worksite completely cleaned up. I was completely happy with the whole job.

I believe in doing the right thing, always. It's how I run MY business, and I'm always hopeful others will be as fair and honest with me as I am with them. I reviewed Groundworks a few days ago based on my recent experience with their work on my foundation repair, which was in, all honesty, a total failure. I expressed disappointment in the expectations that were set by the salesman/certified field inspector, but wholeheartedly praised the four-man crew who did the actual work. Their communication was great, they were very professional, tried hard to deliver the results we ALL wanted, but ultimately left my house dejected because of the fail. My repair job was not particularly difficult (my own two-man crew got it done in a few hours), but in hindsight, it was agreed that the proposal didn't make total sense and probably should have had more input to find the best solution — another set of eyes perhaps. After posting my review, which was honest but not flattering, the local manager, Jack, reached out to me to apologize and ask what the company could do to make things right. That has NEVER happened before to me. Once that check is cashed, it's always been "see ya later sucker". He asked if he could drive down to my home 100 miles away in the aftermath of a bitterly cold ice storm and see for himself the project and try to determine why it failed. What ensued was a step-by-step recounting of the initial appointment by the field inspector, the proposed solution, and an inspection of the results. To my utter surprise, Jack and his partner Blake, were in complete agreement with me that the work failed, the solution was not adequate, and that the expectation level was perhaps too high. There was a disconnect between what SHOULD have been done and what was actually done. Both Jack and Blake listened to me, something men rarely do when dealing with a woman. They were genuinely embarrassed by the results and not once became defensive or insulting or in any way condescending. THAT IS WHAT GOOD BUSINESS PEOPLE DO. It's what businesses do when they care about their clients and want to grow their business the right way. It's doing the right thing, and it pays off. To my surprise, they offered a full refund and even left in place their expensive piers and jacks. It was the right thing to do, but the unheard-of thing. There was no negotiating, no haggling — just a sincere apology, an acknowledgment that I was right, and a friendly handshake to seal the deal. In the end, the job on this house was a failure, but Groundworks earned future business from me because I believe they are truly interested in the client and the results and not just chasing dollars. Integrity is a scarce commodity in this world, but today, Jack and Blake demonstrated it in spades, and for that I say thank you. Although I was disappointed in my personal results, I think we all learned a lesson. We both will use this as a coaching/learning lesson. I will still be wary of salesmen and quick resolution proposals, but I believe this company is sincere in its motivation to do the right thing. When my neighbors come calling to ask for a referral (and they will), I will be honest, and tell them, yes, I recommend Groundworks. Honesty trumps everything. Thank you, Jack and Blake, for doing the right thing.

I discovered a crack in the front corner of my brick home. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris Geddie when Mount Valley corrected a sagging corner of my neighbors home, and asked Chris to look at my situation. He came with an entire set of state-of-the-art measuring tools, and recommended support of my foundation where the crack had occurred. The 3 man technical team the Service leader, Juan, dispatched, led by Foreman Oscar Mota, came and installed four piers supporting the foundation, which helped close the crack in the wall substantially. Mount Valley's warrantee has given me the piece of mind that I will not be bothered by foundation issues for life. Oscar and his team did a fantastic, quick, and very clean installation, and left my property in great shape. The team went the extra mile to clean up and restore the site to it's original appearance. If you need foundation help, you will not go wrong with Mount Valley Foundation Services!

Nasir T. and his team–Rahad N., Steve G., and Brian M.–did an excellent job! They arrived on time, respected my home, and worked hard to meet high standards. Their dedication made me feel confident and reassured. My home needed support to fix sagging floors. Nasir and his team explained the process to me and often asked if I had questions. Whether I did or not, the team continuously pointed out key details and shared information as they worked to ensure I understood the project. Everyone was very informative and professional. They've all patiently addressed my concerns, which helped me feel more at ease. I am very pleased with the results. I will choose Groundworks for future projects and recommend the company to others. Trusting that the work is done right the first time is important. Thank you again! -Nicole C.
