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 wanted to take a moment to share my wonderful experience with Alpha Foundations, specifically with two outstanding employees—Tory and Blake—who came out this morning to address a sidewalk issue at my property. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure the repair was done right. Tory and Blake arrived on time and immediately got to work, assessing the situation with impressive attention to detail. They took the time to explain the process to me, ensuring I understood the repairs and what was needed. Throughout the job, they were respectful of my property and worked efficiently, all while maintaining a positive, can-do attitude. What really stood out was their dedication to quality. They not only repaired the sidewalk but made sure it was level and safe, taking extra care to ensure everything was done to the highest standards. It was clear they take great pride in their work, and their expertise really showed. I can't say enough about how great Tory and Blake were. It’s rare to find such exceptional service, and I am truly grateful for their hard work. If you're considering any foundation or concrete work, I highly recommend Alpha Foundations, and if you get the chance to work with Tory and Blake, you're in excellent hands! Thank you both for a job well done!

I had a great experience with the Groundworks foundation repair team. Kenneth (foreman), Junior (co-foreman), and 2nd Junior (installer) were professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of my property throughout the entire project. Kenneth clearly explained how the beams would support the foundation and why they were placed in certain locations. He also asked permission before removing shrubs that interfered with the work and explained how sprinkler lines would be handled and repaired. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the area clean. The work was completed exactly as promised, and I’m very pleased with the results. I highly recommend the Groundworks team for their professionalism, communication, and quality workmanship.

We had to have foundation work on our home for the 2nd time. This time we used Groundworks (Baird did the 1st time in a different area) and it was like night and day. John, Tyler and Jyvontae were so thorough and they took the time to show and explain everything to me. These 3 guys were fast, professional, and friendly. I really enjoyed talking with the crew and they went above and beyond. They cleaned up everything afterwards and it looks great! Baird broke a part of our pvc/cement and just left the big chunk on the side of the house. See pics above to see the difference.I would highly recommend Groundworks!

I met with Jeff Doyle today about what I thought was an issue in our crawl space. He was able to quickly identify it was a non issue and put us at ease. Honesty and integrity are hard to come by these days and I really appreciated that he did not try and take advantage of me and my family. If anything else comes up they will be my first call. I highly recommend JES and Jeff! Thank you!
