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 called Groundworks to upgrade the sump system in my basement. Jim Beatty came out to give me an estimate. He gave my house a thorough look and then provided me with a solution. He was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The install team came out about a week or so later to install the new system. Nasir was the crew leader and had 2 co workers with him, but I don’t remember there names. I was extremely impressed by their work ethic. These guys came in and didn’t stop until the job was done. They were very professional, courteous and hard working. They did a fantastic job and left the job site cleaner than how they found it. You can’t go wrong with Nasir and his 2 co workers. As I said I was truly impressed with everything they did. They represented Groundworks with the highest professionalism. Thanks for doing a great job.

FSS was great to work with. From the initial meeting and assessment with Adrian to the install with Mark V, Danny, and Chris Garcia, FSS was professional, patient with questions, and great with communication. Mark, Danny, and Chris installed 15 piers in 1.5 days. They really took pride in doing good work and kept me informed on progress throughout the process. They also did a great job cleaning up afterward and genuinely shared in the joy my wife and I had in experiencing our newly stabilized home with lift along the back.

Steve and the entire team were fantastic! Steve was very friendly, came out quickly, gave an informed assessment of our sagging front porch and turned around service within 1-2 weeks time. Marcos and Eduardo did the job and even went above and beyond helping us cut back some stucco for a full finish/framing. Couldn't be happier

Brian and Daniel came to lift concrete at the house. They both were very customer oriented and professional. In a situation that was important to us, they did everything and more to correct the situation. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, they get a solid 10! Also in the beginning with Tyler, he did a great job coordinating the project with the company! All in all, great service from Aqua Guard!

We highly recommed Groundworks. Anthony gave a great presentation answered our questions made it easy for us to make the decision to have the different areas of cement repaired. Jackson & Noah are both very knowledgable and professional. We appreciated the before and after walk through explaining what they were going to do and what was done. Answered all of our questions. Both did an amazing job respecting the property, repairing the patio step, sidewalks and sealed driveway joints. Big thank you!

We recently purchased a condo and quickly became concerned that our home might be sinking, a terrifying thought for any new homeowner. From the moment Trey Robinson from Ohio Basement Authority arrived, he put our minds at ease. He spent most of the afternoon with us, conducting a thorough inspection and taking the time to carefully explain that our situation was absolutely fixable. What truly set Trey apart was his genuine care and professionalism. Not only did he address our structural concerns, but he also recognized that navigating the process with our new HOA and management company was adding to our stress. Without hesitation, he offered to reach out to those groups on our behalf to help guide us through everything, going completely above and beyond what we expected. It's rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with such outstanding customer service. Trey made what felt like an overwhelming situation manageable, and we are now looking forward to enjoying this exciting new chapter in our lives with confidence. We highly recommend Trey and the entire Ohio Basement Authority team!

Nathan and his crew at Mount Valley absolutely exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, his professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise were unmatched. The work he did on my subfloor and crawlspace encapsulation was top-notch, thorough, precise, and clearly done with pride. He was prompt and did an excellent job communicating expectations throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was his exceptional customer service. He took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical skill with such genuine care for their customers. If you’re considering crawlspace work or subfloor repairs, I highly recommend Nathan at Mount Valley for great quality and service! ~Donnia Shelton
