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.

We are very satisfied with our decision to have Tarheel basement systems encapsulate our crawl space. From the sales rep(Daniel Pike) to the installation by Robert Hacker,Austin Moody and Kenny we received in our opinion very professional services. The 3 gentlemen that performed the installation kept us informed and communicated exactly what they were doing from the time they were in route to the time they finished each day. They were very efficient, productive and the quality of their work was excellent! They were polite and respectful! I doubt that there is another company out there that can match the excellence of Tarheel basement systems!

We noticed cracking around our property so we called Rob from Groundworks. He drove all the way to Barstow to provide a free inspection. He gave us multiple options according to our budget and really created a custom plan for us. Then the work crew showed up on time, talked us through the entire process, documented everything. We couldn't be more impressed with this company. Thank you Groundworks.

Additionally, he gave us suggestions and things to look out for in the future. He gave us his personal contact information for any future concerns and if needed, assist us with a letter of clearance. We appreciate his knowledge, hospitality, and mostly honesty. Highly recommend.

Our outer Pool deck sank about 4 inches in some spots. The water began flowing backwards toward the main pool. The ground underneath began to wash out causing voids under the main concrete decking/walkway. The original estimate from a concrete contractor to remove and replace with new concrete was astronomical. I Called groundworks and met with sales rep. Tanya Kennedy. She explained in great detail the entire process. After agreeing to one of their great finance plans, I contacted them. The groundworks truck rolled in earlier than expected. First impression; the truck they arrived in was spotless and professional looking. Second impression; the workers exited the truck and introduced themselves immediately. The two workers that showed up, Alex Young and Matt Wertz, were professional, courteous, respectful and pleasant to speak with. They explained every aspect of what they were doing and had me stand by to approve the areas they were working on. The entire work area was cleaned and left as if they were never there. I have worked with a lot of contractors over the past 35 years and Groundworks by far is one of the best. That is also a testament to their hiring and training practices after watching Alex and Matt do their job. Thanks

We had water coming up through laminated flooring in our finished basement. First thought was that we had a foundation issue, so we called JES Foundation Repair. Wylace was very responsive via text messaging and arrived exactly on time for our scheduled appointment. He did an outstanding job of "playing detective" (as he put it) to determine the source of the water. He quickly identified that the water was actually coming from a cold water pipe with a slow leak, allowing water to drip down the inside of a wall and then onto the cement floor underneath the laminate. There was no charge for the inspection or Wylace's excellent detective work. Honest, straightforward company, would definitely call again in the future (although I hope I don't have to!).

Taylor Jeffries came out and gave me a quote for foundation work at my home. He arrived on time and was very professional and informative. He offered me a payment plan option for the work that is affordable whenever I’m ready to move forward. I greatly appreciated JES did NOT charge me for an estimate it was free! (when I called BAY Crawl Space & Foundation they were going to charge me $500 just for an estimate because my home was built in 1920) Because of the information Taylor Jeffries from JES gave me I know my next steps moving forward and what to expect when getting the foundation on my home repaired, Thank you so much!

My experience with Foundation Recovery Systems, Bruce James was excellent. He walked me through the process until I understood what was going on. Bruce took his time, with surveying the issues. He walked me through the process and his recommendations. The thing I like about it was Bruce was he did not pushing anything on me to sign right away, he understood what I wanted and how I wanted to proceed. Thank you Bruce James.
