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 was very pleased with the quality of work Felipe, Miguel, and Ben completed at my home. I had some sagging floor joists and major rotten wood under my bathroom floor. They arrived on time and started work right away tearing out the bathroom floor and tub. Using that as an access point they repaired the sagging joists and beams under the house. As they were working, I walked through the house and noticed stability had been restored under the floors. They completed the repair by sistering the joists under the bathroom floor and replaced the subfloor. They worked so hard and were so polite the entire time they were here and took the time to answer my questions during the process. I can’t thank you enough for restoring my house and my peace of mind! You guys are amazing! Thank you!

I had my home inspected on October 17th by Edgar Velasco, Spartanburg Office. I wanted to advise how professional he was in his job, and sitting down with us to go over the solutions to our foundation issues. He wasn't pushy to us about making a decision right then. That's what I like about a company. Once we are able to get out FEMA approved, we will definitely have Mount Valley do the work. Thank you.

The original downspout drainage system around our house was inadequate resulting in wet areas all around the basement. Colin Hall came out, did a thorough review and prepared a professional and detailed CAD drawing of his recommendation for reworking the system. The crew of Diego Rodriguez, Sergio Aniya and Dumien Files (apologies for any misspellings) were about the hardest working bunch of guys I have ever seen. There were courteous and upbeat the entire time. And they were creative as well in making on-site modifications to the plan as needed to insure proper drainage. I would not hesitate to recommend JES Foundation Repair.

Met with Nick T. to review some concerns about my house’s foundation. Nick was on-time, knowledgeable, and courteous. He throughly reviewed my situation, clearly explaining along the way, and advised a logical approach rather than attempting to up sell me. Will definitely use Ohio Basement Authority for future needs.

Our foreman, Trent Kendrick and his brother-in-law, called ahead on the day of our repair. They immediately got to work, asking if we had any questions or concerns. Our garage floor had sunk and cracked, and we were concerned about it damaging the garage floor even more. It was a little job for them, but they did their absolute best work! Shout out to James Limcaoco, our JES Inspector, who helped us through the process. Please give them all a raise!

If I could have selected a 10 on rating (I would have). Curtis & Corey are two of your company best technicians. Their teamwork was professional. We are grateful you chose this team to complete the work needed. They explained everything to us. It was raining that day and their teamwork and willingness going the extra mile made the difference. Thank you AquaGuard for both (Curtis and Corey) for their dedication and hard work. James & Marilyn

I recently had the pleasure of working with Drake Johnson (foreman), Kole sumpter (co Forman), and Bryan Robinson (labor). When they arrived they took the time to explain the process thoroughly, ensuring I understood every step of the way. They arrived on time and worked efficiently, demonstrating exceptional professionalism and expertise. They were very personable and when they were finished they made sure everything was cleaned up. From start to finish they did a great job! Thank you for a job well done! — Feel free to customize it with specific details or names!

Excellent experience, overall! Everyone we spoke to, from the initial estimate to setting up appts, to the installation, they were all absolutely lovely and professional. The crew was communicative, showed up on-time, walked us through their POA for the day, had us take a look at their progress periodically, and even finished earlier than estimated. They were thoughtful of our property and answered all of our questions. (We had a lot 😅) Grateful to have found people that are not afraid of hard work and take pride in the finished product. So refreshing! Keep it up!

I really appreciate Kody coming out today and doing a thorough inspection of our property. At the end of the day, Kody did not try to sell me a service I didn't need. Thank you, Kody and AquaGuard, for your integrity. When I do have foundation issues in the future, I know exactly who to call.
