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 had a great experience with Dylan from Groundworks. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the issue and clearly explain what was going on with my home and what solutions were available. I never felt rushed or pressured — he made sure I understood everything and answered all of my questions. What really stood out was how detailed and transparent he was. Dylan walked me through the entire process and explained how Groundworks’ systems work to protect foundations and prevent water damage long-term. It gave me a lot of confidence that I was making the right decision for my home. If you’re dealing with foundation, basement, or waterproofing issues, I highly recommend asking for Dylan. He’s professional, honest, and clearly cares about helping homeowners find the right solution.

We have been a long-time customer of AquaGuard utilizing their services at various homes around Atlanta. Today, Zyan Avant, came to do our annual inspection & also to discuss encapsulation of our crawl spaces. Out of all the folk who have come out to do our annual inspections, Zyan was the most thorough. Rather than trying to sell us more services, he really focused on doing a true annual maintenance (adjusting piers that Aqua Guard had installed years prior,) & only after that was completed, he then moved on to what was necessary for our home. My husband & I truly appreciate the time he took to explain exactly what they had done already & his great attitude was infectious. We will definitely request him next year.

I learned that 3 rooms were lower than the rest of the house and that Mount Valley had the fix! Austin and Michael promptly arrived and injected the polymer through the flooring into the ground. I found the pair to be quite knowledgeable and personable. They answered every question I had leaving me feeling very informed for the next house I buy. They were respectful of my home regarding routing their hose into my home and leaving the area as clean as possible afterwards. I'm very satisfied with Mount Valley's approach to foundation fixed.

IBA has been here three times and I’ve been satisfied each time. Jake ******** and Joe ********* did the inspection for the braces which were installed a year ago. They thoroughly checked every area of the basement, tightened bolts, etc. and explained in detail what they were doing, what they were looking for. They noticed my sump pump should be replaced soon, suggested a better system. I agreed and a date was scheduled for later that week for installation Brandon, Anthony, and Shane came for the installation of a state of the art sump pump system. They prepared the area, installed, cleaned up when done. They explained exactly what they were doing for each step. Jake had called to set up the inspection appt for him and Joe. It was easy to schedule. I was informed when they were on their way. Brandon let me know when he, Anthony, and Shane were on their way I appreciate how well the company and employees communicate for scheduling and while they are doing their work. The foundation and basement have been inspected by professionals and problems have been addressed and solved. The work that’s been done and the cost involved is so worth the peace of mind I have. Thank you Innovative Basement Authority and your skilled employees! I definitely would recommend IBA! Cindy ****

I had my crawl space encapsulated and a support beam installed by FSM. Overall, the work was done well and my floor was level after the work they did. The only issue was the encapsulation of the sump pump and leveling of the dehumidifier. The original crew that came out put the dehumidifier of cardboard pieces from the box it came in rather than footings to keep it level. They also covered over our sump pumps completely which made then inaccessible and unable to function correctly so the sump actually overflowed and flooded the crawl space. I spoke with Amanda in the office who was so sweet, understanding, and efficient with getting another crew out to my home ASAP to fix the problem. Deshawn and Reggie came out and fixed the original issue, put the dehumidifier on risers to level it (had a laugh with me about the ridiculous state of it left by the original crew) and made sure to leave everything clean and tidy. They advised me on how to access everything in the future while maintaining the integrity of the encapsulation. The two of them really made sure I was happy with the end product.
