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.

My representative/inspector was Zach, and he was and is absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to not only represent himself, but the company with integrity, kindness and helpfulness. He walked me through everything and also explained everything meticulously. I'd do business with Foundation, if it were more expensive, on how amazing he was as a representative. Foundation is truly blessed to have him as an employee. He is an undeniable asset to the company. I encourage anyone with questions to request him specifically!

Tim Pratt was wonderful. He came to our house in Elkins, WV after calling to let us know he was coming. He was very friendly, professional, and kind. We did not feel pressured, and he considered several estimates. I highly recommend that you give him a raise in his pay. You do not want to loose him.

Richard Z, Shawn E, and Sebastian M were fantastic! They were very polite, professional and efficient. They showed up on time, completed the job over the course of 2 visits, and left the place looking like it was always there. I had a sump pump installation. When the job was completed, Richard Z went over all the specifications with the pump and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Give these employees a raise!!! They were top notch! I highly recommend FSM of Livonia for your waterproofing concerns.

It's been a major job repairing my failing foundation walls, and I'm very grateful for the 3 teams from Foundation Recovery Systems who stuck with it and got it done! Nicholas Bartone & crew who started the job and made sure I had the system that would be the best fix (and wouldn't break the bank!). Richard Baird & crew who built and drilled and jacked until it was all level and supported again. And Jeremiah & Jake who filled all the new structures with rock-hard foam so nothing moves (and left the place cleaner than it was to start with!). It's a huge relief to have this project done, and although it took longer than expected due to freezing weather and a change in project scope, I would still highly recommend working with this company. Great communication through all stages, no high pressure sales, and detailed explanation about the process throughout.

We’re completely satisfied with the final product. Crew did a great job! They were knowledgable and efficient. They explained the process as they did the work and carefully caulked the remaining gap between the concrete porch and brick on the house. Thoroughly cleaned up and cautioned that the caulk would need 24 hours to cure.

I inquired via phone number (basement flood) and instantly I was contacted and someone (Landon Dungo) came out that day. He was very informative and I understood everything he explained. The crew came from East Point and the lead was Kevin. Initially there was a huge misunderstanding about what was to take place and within an hour it was all worked out and th job was successfully completed. I was very happy and satisfied with the work, th clean up and their professionalism. Though it haven’t rained to see if rain is coming in my basement on that side it I’m certain my problem has been resolved. I highly recommend them.

Joe showed up when he said he would and was very professional and courteous. He did a complete inspection of a superficial crack in the foundation of our house and said there's nothing to be done because it wasn't an issue in the first place. We appreciate the honesty and ethics of both Joe and Groundworks. Thank you!

Using Alpha Foundations was a great experience starting with Ronnie who came out and gave us the quote and scope of work needed, to Cooper W and James D who raised our pool patio foundation. They were extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly to our family and dog! 🐶. The cleanup was flawless and you can’t tell they were even here! We are going to paint the patio anyway so the small minor holes and repaired cracks will disappear in the new paint job! I highly recommend Alpha for any foundation work you might need!!

Baker’s Waterproofing were at my home today. They confirmed the day before and called to let me know when they were arriving. The answered my questions and concerns. My team was Lukas Selleck, Dean Hollenbach, and Colby Scott. They finished the job in one day! I was thrilled when Lukas texted me mid day with a photo. He was showing me that he could save me $2500 off of my bill because one thing did NOT need done! He was honest! The company was not trying to charge me for something that did not need to be done. That is integrity! Lukas showed me all the work that was completed. I am so impressed with Baker’s Waterproofing. I recommend this company! Thank you!
