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 have been meaning to write this review for quite some time. Better late than never, right? A couple of years ago, I had my basement waterproofed, and I truly wish I had reviewed the incredible company sooner. First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt e-flowers to everyone involved. The team who carried out the waterproofing work was nothing short of amazing. They were punctual, efficient, and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Yes, the jackhammering and dust were a bit overwhelming, but it's a small price to pay for the fantastic results I received. My basement has never been in better shape, and for that, I am immensely grateful. Thank you! Regarding the annual maintenance service, Archie, my technician, is an absolute gem. He epitomizes professionalism in every sense of the word. Archie is incredibly thorough with his work, never in a rush, and always takes the time to point out things I should keep an eye on. Thanks to his keen eye and expertise, we managed to catch an issue with my water heater early on, saving me from potential headaches down the road. I can't emphasize enough how much peace of mind the annual maintenance contract brings me. Knowing that Archie and Basement Technologies are on the job ensures that my now beautifully finished basement will remain dry and in top condition. I have to say, the names are a little confusing: 1-800 Busy Dog aka Basement Technologies and now Groundworks. No matter what they’re called, I have and will continue to recommend this company to anyone I know who needs waterproofing solutions for their home. Thank you once again for the exceptional service and dedication. I am truly appreciative of everything you do.

Nick Clanciolo was awesome. Came out for annual inspection. Afterwards we sat down and showed everything that was done with pictures showing the work that he provided, also explaining things step by step. Gave a great recommendation to have some electrical work done. I’m glad that I chose AFS 6 years ago to do my basement and crawl space

Time will tell for longevity, but we're happy. Engineer, Sean Wang, communicated everything quite clear and we understood what was going on. We needed more posts an the center beam of our house jacked up due to sagging. The three workers who came out, Mike Baines, Bryan Covell, and Brandon Pritt were all great. Very respectful of our property, really tried to keep everything neat and tidy. Answered all our questions along the way. Good job cleaning up. I love that they brought their own buckets (step up from other companies.) Again, all three installers of our new support posts were great and very polite. They did a great job from what we can tell.

Nobody really looks forward to dealing with a foundation company. But when you need to do it, these guys are the best. On time, very professional highly organized and neat — the last was quite a surprise given how much dirt was being moved around. The whole Process — from first meeting with estimator to project completion — was seamless. They were also fast — they completed the job several days before their estimate. Thanks very, very much to Rudy, Osman and Wilton.

David, Bobby, Jose and Jacob got started in rain that progressed with lightning. They took a break, only till the lightning subsided and got back to work. Shortly after the crew started working, we all had a very real scare. The lone gas company technician working on my gas meter, encounted a meter malfunction and a main gas line break occurred. The AFS crew alerted us to the danger and insisted we get out of our house and to safe distance. These men never faltered, never flinched and showed such care and concern for us. After the gas line was capped, and we got an "all clear" to resume work, the guys got started. Now, about their work. Exceedingly above all expectations is my comment. They leveled and stabilized my foundation consisting of 10 piers. They explained everything as the job progressed and made sure I understood and approved of their work. Quick and patient, to answer questions. They took great care to not disturb plants, or termite traps. They cleaned up after themselves, and got the job completed in 1 day. I realize this is a long review, but considering everything, from the weather, to the gas main leak, these men deserve all accolades I can give them.
