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.

Ashton Gillen and Jake Hansen really came through for me. I knew I had a problem with uneven concrete and cracking walls and had contacted Davenport a couple years back but never heard from them. Last Monday I called Groundworks and by Tuesday at noon I had an inspection, contract, and a scheduled work date. When you have a huge problem, you really need expertise and fast action. These guys really delivered.

The Groundworks folks (formerly Bay Area Underpinning) applied their foundation-underpinning technology and expertise to extend to bedrock, level, square up the foundation for an extensive house remodel. I was most impressed by the young man onsite supervisor, Josh who answered all my work done, how and why questions. I wish this info was provided up front by the estimator. (My design-build remodel contractor referred this company).

This evening we had Austin C. From Groundwork’s come to our home to discuss some issues we were having with our foundation. We found him representing the company to be very professional, calling prior to arrival, confirming time and address. Answered one of our questions and then some definitely put us at ease as far as what the best solution would be for our problem. Would highly recommend this company.

Tar Heel Basement did a great job in encapsulating the crawlspace of our Education Building at our church. Luke G. enlightened us with a good explanation of mitigation for our moisture and drainage issues. Charles and DJ who performed the work were knowledgeable, courteous and optimistic about the good job they would do. They were there when they said they would be and finished the job when they said they would. Very happy with the fine, quality work! Installation of Sump Pump and Dehumidifier all went well.

Our driveway and porch presented a number of challenges after many years of water eroding the ground underneath. We are so grateful that we found Groundwork. Their method of concrete lifting was exactly what our situation required. The best part, though, was the people we dealt with throughout the process. Jessica was so easy to work with in scheduling and got us in far earlier than we thought possible. David came out to do the damage assessment and explained beautifully what to expect. The cost was actually lower than we anticipated! We were so fortunate to have Noah and Matt as the team that did the work. They knew exactly what needed to be done and how to do it! At this point we are awaiting dry weather so they can return to grind and fill in cracks. No hesitation in recommending this group.

Cory and Dakota did a fabulous job! After they arrived, we walked around the house, and they explained what they would be doing. They worked quickly and efficiently. When it came time to lift the house, they did it in small increments and let us check to make sure the windows closed properly and the existing drywall cracks did not change in size. They were patient and answered all our questions. Many thanks for all your work and help!!!

I just had Wade Siler come take a look at my house's foundation. We were seeing cracking in the corners of our doorways and on our garage door. Wade checked every corner of our house's foundation, all around our troubled areas. Come to find out the foundation was in good shape. He proved it with a laser level. The interior issues appear to be from vibrations in the house causing the cracks. The drywall needs some expansion joints. The issues outside around the garage door are from the lintel beam sagging. Again, he proved it with the laser level. Wade was super honest about everything and I highly recommend him coming out to take a look at your house even if you have just the slightest concern about foundation issues. Thanks Wade!!!!

We had Groundworks come out to fix our foundation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Travis D., Garrett W., and Donney W. were absolutely amazing to work with. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing. They took the time to explain the process, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was done right. They were very respectful of our home they left everything clean and in great condition when the job was finished. It’s not easy finding a trust worthy crew with something important such as your home foundation but, they have exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Groundwork's. They will also be coming out to do our concrete (drive way) repair
