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 the opportunity to work with Don Lester from Mt. Valley, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Before contacting Don, I had another company come out to give me a quote, but they spent very little time onsite and barely pointed out any issues. Don, on the other hand, was incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk through every detail, identifying potential issues and explaining all of the available options. His expertise and dedication to ensuring everything was covered gave me complete confidence in his recommendations. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, Don is the person to call.

I needed some leveling done and called Ohio basement authority first. After speaking with Charles, I didn’t even call anyone else. I had a sidewalk out front that needed to be leveled and a concrete patio out back that was cracked and uneven. John and Ethan did an absolutely wonderful job, they were friendly, polite and professional. No more worries about somebody tripping on the sidewalk and we will enjoy the patio for years to come. Thank you guys!

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!

From the time that Jake met us at our house for the initial review, till Jesse and his crew showed up to do the work a week later, we’ve been very impressed. Jake had a proposal in our hands before he left our initial meeting which was very much appreciated. Jesse and his team hit the ground running and had the project done the following afternoon. He talked me through the process every step of the way and when they were finished, you could barely see where they’d been. We were very impressed.
