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.

You can’t be cheap when it comes to foundation repairs. JES is expensive, but you have access to knowledgeable engineers and consultants (Andrew Sean Wheeler), and their crews are quick and competent (foreman Jaime Castillo and Joel and Erick). If you live near the Potomac and have issues with marine clay, go straight to JES.

Ben came out and completed a detailed inspection. He showed me pictures of the problem under my house and explained what could be done to repair it. I was scheduled to have the work done the very next week. Baron and his crew, Matthew and Keith arrived when they said they would. They did an excellent job on the repair. Baron showed me pictures and gave a detailed description of what was done. I would definitely recommend AFS for any repairs you need.

This review is for Jesse Thrash out of the Charlotte Dry-Pro location. He was so informative and helpful with all aspects of the situation at our home. He spent 2 1/2 hours with us, inspecting our home and telling us about some things we didn't know about our home and things we had to put some attention towards immediately. Very smart and very professional. I would recommend him to everyone.

am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service provided by Corey throughout my recent basement sealing project. From the very first interaction, Corey demonstrated professionalism, courtesy, and an impressive depth of knowledge. His ability to clearly explain the scope of work and answer all of my questions put me at ease regarding this significant and costly undertaking. What truly set Corey apart was his patience and dedication, even after the project was completed. He remained available to address my concerns and ensure that I was fully satisfied with the outcome. His thorough approach and commitment to customer satisfaction were instrumental in my decision to move forward with your company, even at a higher cost. It’s rare to encounter such a level of integrity and care, and Corey’s efforts have made a lasting impression on me. It’s thanks to professionals like Corey that I have full confidence in the quality and value of your services, and I would gladly recommend ground works to others based on this experience.
