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.

Over the last year or so ago, a metal support that was attached to my porch broke away when the screws rusted through. After this happened I noticed that there was a significant gap between the porch and the support. I wedged in some rocks to stabilize the support while I tried to figure out what to do. Then, recently, I heard an advertisement on the radio for Groundworks, and thought it might be a solution. So, I met with AJ, who was very friendly and thorough, explaining the process, the financial aspect and answering my questions. Also, based on his advice, they were able to include stabilizing and sealing the cement pad in front of my garage. I set up the appointment, and a few weeks later I received a confirmation call from Zech. The next morning, Zech and Jacob arrived, introduced themselves and reviewed the job and addressed any questions and concerns I had. A couple of hours later, the job was done and it looks great. The porch looks better than it has in a very long time. Plus, the support is now lined up with the porch, and all I'll need to do is bolt it back down. I'm extremely happy with their work, and take comfort in the multi-year warranty. I would definitely use them again in the future.

AFS encapsulated my crawlspace within a week of the initial inspection by Andrew. The actual crew of Matthew, Coby, and Tavish were at my home when they said they would be and got the job done in a day. They handled debris/ junk removal (of which there was a lot!), fiberglass insulation removal, sealed vents, new sealed crawlspace doors, dehumidifier installation and setup, and the encapsulation itself. Matthew answered questions, addressed concerns, fixed small mistakes, and overall the team made good on their word. My crawlspace went from disgusting and scary to quite a pleasant place that's now usable for a little extra storage.

It was great working with FRS. They were extremely reliable and friendly – both on the sales side and the crew that came out to do the work. Marland, Ray and Landon were very hard workers and could not have been nicer. Marland took the time to explain everything to us as to what to expect and how the sump pump and battery back up work.

We had several cracks in our driveway that we had concern about them spreading and growing wider. I reached out to AquaGuard and an appointment was set for a person to come out, evaluate and provide an estimate. That person was Jonathan Young. He was so thorough in explaining the entire process, the company's background and more. Talk about a real professional in his field! The appointment was scheduled within a week's time. Shaun and Chris got straight to work! First Chris used two different kinds of measuring tools to check for potential hollow areas under the driveway. Once identified a hole was drilled and the hydrophobic concrete stabilization material was poured in, then sealed up. After that was finished they smoothed out the cracks and put the sealant on top of them. It only took a couple of hours to complete and around four hours before a car could drive onto the driveway. We couldn't be more happy with the results. Shaun, Chris and Jonathan are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are conscientious, courteous and definite professionals at their respective jobs.

I had the pleasure of having Brian Keener come out to inspect the crawl space and the foundation of my home, and I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional level of service he provided. From the moment he arrived, Brian was warm, friendly, and professional—he immediately put me at ease with his approachable demeanor and clear communication. It’s rare these days to meet someone so genuine, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Brian was incredibly thorough in his inspection, taking the time to examine every detail of the crawl space while carefully explaining what he was seeing and why it mattered. He didn’t rush the process, and I really appreciated his patience in walking me through each step. It was clear that he knew exactly what he was doing and was passionate about ensuring that I understood my options and felt comfortable with any decisions I might make. What stood out most to me was how clearly and transparently he explained the potential solutions, including all the available plans and their associated costs. He laid out the pros and cons of each option in a way that was easy to follow and never made me feel pressured. It truly felt like he had my best interests in mind, which gave me a great deal of confidence in both him and the company he represents. Brian is the kind of professional who makes a lasting impression—he’s not just doing a job; he’s providing a service with care, honesty, and excellence. He embodies all the qualities that make a company stand out in the best way possible. In fact, I was so impressed with the experience that I’ve already recommended the company to someone else. It’s clear to me that Brian is a major asset to the company, and I hope his dedication, integrity, and outstanding work ethic are recognized. He truly deserves a promotion or some form of recognition for the consistent value he brings to his role. Professionals like Brian are hard to find, and any company would be lucky to have more people like him. Thank you, Brian, for going above and beyond!
