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.

Ryan and Josh were excellent. They were quiet as my husband is ill and were able to accomplish the task of installing a new shower faucet in a timely manner. The access had to go through a wall which can be quite loud, but they were so quiet he did not know they were there. I am impressed! They cleaned up and the job is first rate. Will be a go to in the future for problems !!

Matthew Ridley and Shawn Lowe came and completed foundation work for us today in bad weather/ icy road conditions when most people would have stayed home. The work was done in a timely manner, and they cleaned up after themselves once the job was complete. They communicated with us throughout the process and spoke to us once the job was complete to make sure it was done to our satisfaction. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience. 100% recommend them for your foundation repair needs!

We have maintenance done each year. All the technicians have been prompt, clean, friendly, and efficient. This last time we had Ryan install two new pumps in existing sump pumps. The price was reasonable and the work was excellently performed. We would recommend this company.

Chad Russell was very punctual. Showed up at the scheduled time while what I needed was not an offering of Foundation Recovery systems book of business, Chad showed concern and was eager to assist with what we needed. With his recommendation we hired a separate company to remove mold from our basement. At the time of this writing their task is almost complete. We would have never identified this company without Chad’s recommendation. His friendliness and eagerness to help was greatly appreciated!! Bob and Tona Bowen

The experience from start to finish went smoothly. First, meeting with Jonathon on site was great. He mapped out the project precisely, thorough and to my expectations! Made sure I was comfortable with what needed to be done. Scheduling the project was very easy and was completed on schedule. Shawn and Chris, the technicians, were unbelievable! This was not an easy job! They took their time figuring out the right way to tackle this challenging project! They busted their butts to make it right for me! After the completion, Shawn made sure I was happy with the job he did! I highly recommend AquaGuard for any type of water damaging project, they will solve it!

I had an outstanding experience with Tyler Evans servicing our sump pump. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, friendly, and thorough in his work. Tyler took the time to carefully inspect everything and ensured the system was functioning perfectly. What really stood out was how clearly and patiently he explained every aspect of the service. He walked me through what he was doing, why it mattered, and how the system works overall—something I truly appreciated. He went above and beyond by answering all of my questions in detail and making sure I felt confident about the condition of our sump pump. He also proactively pointed out a few potential upgrades and improvements, especially around how water is discharged into the yard, which was extremely helpful. His suggestions were thoughtful, practical, and tailored to our setup—not just generic recommendations. It’s clear that Tyler is not only highly skilled but also passionate about his work. He combines strong technical expertise with excellent communication and genuine care for the customer experience. Kudos to Tyler for his top-notch service—truly a great experience all around!

Jackson, Mikey and Michal did a fantastic job stabilizing my house. They had to add 23 posts and steel beams all throughout a house built in 1962. The house before they came had developed a very shaky floor system and had sank 3 inches in some areas. It is now solid. I am really pleased with their work and their timeless. I give them 5 perfect stars plus some. I highly recommend AFS.

Called to get a quote on floor sagging and foundation repair. They sent Jared Wyatt out with in a week to do the inspection. He was really thorough, friendly, and professional. He went around took pictures and measurements to get an understanding of the lay out and what we were needing done. Sat down with us and listened to our concerns and explained in detail what our options were, what they would be doing. Went over and explained all of their different payment options they offered and they different discounts as well. Would recommend if you’re having the same issues.

After superior service in our home over the last two years (foundation repairs that include installation of helical piers, jacks, and encapsulation), Austin West completed a service visit. Austin arrived as scheduled, he took the time to discuss the project and our specific needs, and he performed high quality work. Austin thoroughly explained the condition of our space before he left. Thank you to Austin and Groundworks of MI!

The specific project is floor stabilization with minor lift but that isn't an option so i picked encapsulation instead (which K do intend to gave Tar Heel do, down the line). Jay Yount was great salesperson and Ceritified Field Inspector. Foreman David P and crew mates Ernesto "Nestor" and James C were knowledgeable and efficient, arrived on time and got the job done in two days. Results of the floor stabilization were communicated to me clearly before, during and after the work was performed. All my expectations were at least met. Would definitely recommend Tar Heel to friends and family.

Jacob Baca was at my house about a month ago because I was concerned I had foundation problems and I did. He made me feel at ease because he answered all my questions and concerns. A few weeks ago I found a dark spot on my wall very close to the ceiling and I thought it might be mold. I reached out Jacob because of the wonderful experience I had with him when he first came to my house. I asked him if he could come over and look at the dark spot and he said he would. He stayed in touch with me through the week to make time to come over and look at the dark spot. He looked at the spot and said it was the shadow from switch to open and close the vent 😳 I was so embarrassed but we both had a good laugh. I have a disability and can’t get on a step stool. I suggested that he share this story in a staff meeting 😂 Jacob went out of his way to help me. Amazing customer service and these days you don’t seem to find that kind of service anymore. Marian
