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.

Tony Marlowe was excellent! Very thorough, professional and friendly. I felt comfortable that he was not trying to sell me things I didn't need and based on that, I booked the job on the spot. This is my second project with AFS and they are great!

We called FRS because the garage approach had dropped 1 1/2" and had become a tripping hazard, and to fill some voids under our sidewalk. Field Inspector Kyle Winterowd prepared an acceptable quote for the repairs. Thank you, Kyle. We are well pleased with the completed project (see the after photo). We also want to thank the superintendent, Dalton, the foreman, Jesse Barron, and the co-foreman, Cam. It has been a pleasure working with each of you.

Kevin Macdonald did a great job explaining what needs to be done to fix my flooring issue. He was extremely professional and prompt. We were completely clueless on how to fix our home and Kevin showed us exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. I would recommend him to everyone that is looking to fix their foundation.

The first company I called was cheaper but everything they said was incorrect compared to Groundworks who got the permit and did everything to spec. Even came out later on to fix an issue with the sump pump no charge. Every worker I met with so far has been very friendly and knowledgeable

I could not have been more impressed with the service, quality of the job and the professionalism of the people who came out. The salesman, Joe, was so informative and helpful in explaining what the issue was. The gentleman who came out to do the job were prompt and very efficient. They explained the process and did an amazing job! I would highly recommend Alpha Foundations and already did to the inspector who came out to sign off on the project. Thanks again!!!!!

I was very pleased with Alpha Foundations from start to finish. Dewey and his crew installed the piers and worked hard and steadily on the day they said they would be here until the job was done. The next day, Wilkinson and Kornell injected the poly substance through the slab and did a great job. Everyone I came in contact with on this job was pleasant and they all delivered as promised starting with Chris who did the original proposal through the guys that installed the piers and poly. I would certainly recommend them.

My experience with groundworks (Jacob was the tech and he was very knowledgeable and kind)?extended only to a foundation estimate. No actual foundation work was done; however, again, Jacob was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything to me. I liked his approach so much that I scheduled him next week to look at a client’s foundation. I’m looking for consistency! And he took his shoes off without being asked!
