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.

These guys are such a blessing. We've had a flood warning and tons of rain the past few days and our basement is bone dry. Before they fixed it it would fill with multiple feet of water during most rains. Sofia Gick, Stacey Scott, and Daniel Johnson were so amazing. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure I fully understood our new system and they walked me thru multiple times during the job to explain what they would be doing. I would totally refer them to anyone needing a job done.

Dan the "Foreman", Riley, and Reginald were a great crew working together to get my crawl space floor system stabilized to allow me to complete the remodeling of our lake home. They were on time and completed the job a day early. Dan and I work through some of the unforseen structural issues ane saved $2000.00 by eliminating one beam. The only issue was that Tom the salesman said they can level the floors but Dan right away said FSM only stabilize floors and never try to raise floors to get them level. We solved the issue by my purchase of a 20 ton bottle jack used to raise the main beam where it had broken. The home is a 125 year old lake cottage built back when main beams were put on rocks to support the structure. Overall the pricing for the project was better than Ayres Basement Co. FSM has 18 month no interest financing that helped our decision to pick FSM.

Josh A, Greg H, and Max H, worker hard to get the job done quickly and effectively. They were proud of their work, and took care to keep everything cleaned. They were very informative about each step they were doing in the process. I highly recommend Innovative Basement Authority. Logan was amazing to work with as well. From explaining what needs to be done to me, the board, and the co-op members. I really enjoyed working with the company from begining to end.

Nick came and did an inspection, then explained what all needed to be done, and wrote up an estimate. Nick was great in all aspects of his job, and we really wanted foundation recovery to do the work, but sorry to say, Nick we really didn't want to put out that kind of money at this time. Nick gets 5 stars, but the overall cost is only reason for the 4 stars. I do say though, you get what you pay for.

OUTSTANDING JOB, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Aaron Hudson and Dray Fields, were the crew working our home project and they did an excellent job! We couldn’t be happier with the work and to finally get our concrete front porch insulated with foam underneath to protect from the little critter who had dug it over the past couple of years. They were prompt, professional, highly skilled, and knowledgeable about the entire process. They both paid close attention to detail, and worked at a smooth/quick pace. They obviously had a system they employed and diligently worked through the process greatly to our total satisfaction. Despite us having some scheduling setbacks early on, Aaron made contact, and helped us get rescheduled and planned for a time that worked best for us. He was very thorough in explaining the process for our specific project, which also gave us the opportunity to send him photos of some areas that needed special attention and some concrete repair. That exchange can always help to ensure they are fully prepared with a gameplan ready once they show on the scheduled date. I was grateful to have had such a top notch crew as theirs that could arrive at our agreed upon time, fully prepared to work smoothly and confidently as a team to project completion. I’d put either one of these two up against the vast majority of workers I come across these days, fully deserving of any promotion they may be considered for. Our sincere gratitude to Aaron, Dray, and the Groundworks team for working with us, managing the details, and the. knocking it out- protecting our foundation from any further damage and erosion! Thank you all!

A week before Christmas, I had a rat invasion in the crawlspace that was encapsulated by Mount Valley. Marge came out several times to help me cover the holes where a rat had eaten through the encapsulation material. She was great!! I highly recommend Mount Valley and their great customer service! Marge should be commended for her excellent tireless efforts to help me with my problem. We are now rat, free and encapsulation has now been restored back to normal.
