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.

Daniel Cippone with Groundworks was honestly fantastic to work with. I’ve dealt with a few technicians over the years, but Daniel really stood out right away, he clearly knows his stuff, and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. He was friendly, respectful, and made sure I understood what was going on at every step, which really helped ease the stress of the situation. When my sump pump failed, I was pretty overwhelmed, but he showed up the same day and didn’t leave until everything was fully taken care of so we wouldn’t risk a flooded basement. That kind of responsiveness and care is hard to come by these days. I really appreciated his help, thank you again, Daniel.

We hired Basement Authority to fix our foundation, and overall we had a very good experience. There was a small issue during the process, but the company really stepped up and took care of it promptly and professionally. It meant a lot to us that they stood behind their work and made sure everything was done right. That kind of accountability is hard to find this these days thank you Annette Finlayson

From start to finish was a professional job, David the sales person was very knowledgeable on how everything works. Steven, Chris, and Brandon did a great job on the installation and left everything looking as neat and clean as they found it. They even put all the turf back and didn’t leave any dirt mounds!

When we decided we needed a structural issue resolved, I did rather extensive research of the prospective companies and decided on AFS. We made a very good decision and would happily recommend their work to anyone. Eli came out and did an extensive inspection. He was very knowledgeable and went over all of our options in a clear manner and answered all of our questions. Eli was a delight to meet and work with. Johnny and his instal crew of Michael & Michael also did a great job. They arrived right on time and ready to go. Johnny went over all of the project details. He answered all our questions. His team worked hard and efficiently. They had a large project done in approximately four hours. They cleaned up as well as possible after a pretty elaborate repair. Johnny and his team took care of all our concerns. Johnny and the Michaels were also great to work with.

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.

I've had Matvey/Groundworks come out twice and they did not charge us for their time. First time was for something more aesthetic related to flooring and then we called them again for foundation/concrete assessment. Gardner was detail oriented, easy to communicate with, prompt and did not push any product in his presentation of scope/findings/solution. Big fan! Highly recommend.

Jakob and his team (Alex, Nicholas and Junior) were prompt, efficient, and professional in their installation of a basement foundation drain in my home yesterday. Jakob was very helpful and responsive to my questions throughout the day and thoroughly explained operation of the new drainage system, etc. He's also an outstanding foreman, keeping his team working seamlessly and in harmony. This team was obviously very experienced! I also appreciated the very high quality of materials and workmanship. And when the crew left, EVERYTHING was cleaned up very well. This was my second experience with FSM. BOTH EXPERIENCES WERE OUTSTANDING!! Their prices are competitive, their workmanship outstanding, and their overall objective is a satisfied customer WHICH I AM AGAIN!!! Give FSM and ADDITIONAL STAR!!! THANKS GUYS!!! THANKS FSM!!! You've shown yourself to be the BEST AGAIN!!! Tom Fischer Three Oaks. MI
