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.

After having a great experience with this company last year when the waterproofed my basement and put beams in, I had another great experience at my first follow-up appointment. Phillip P came to adjust the beams, do measurements, and check things to make sure they were all working well. He was positive and very thorough in his work. He made sure to show me what he did, talk about what he noticed, and clean up the area. He then returned later in the week to replace the parts (screws? I don't know. They look like big screws but are surely called something different) that are no longer the correct size to "make sure they don't forget to bring them next year." He's a hard worker and did a great job!

Ashton came out to my house for an annual foundation maintenance inspection. He checked floors for squeaky noise throughout the house including bathrooms. Then, he went into a crawl space to inspect 30 screw jacks and push piers. He fixed squeaking noise underneath the floor in the living room and the master bathroom during the visit. Ashton was very professional, great communication, respectful, hard working and competent.

Met two fine young men, Blake and Jeremy. They were assigned to a very difficult project on a 67 year old cabin with all the utilities coming into the cabin where they were working. They worked very hard, excavating by hand. I was impressed with the work they did and would recommend Foundation of Western Colorado to anyone requiring foundation work.

Mike Grandy designed a basement waterproofing system that addressed water instruction from a basement door and moisture seeping into my basement. Sump System replaced an existing one, current system is quieter and order free. Dehumidifier hardly runs now. The system was installed in September but waited until now to write this review in order experience an extended period of operation.

From the initial inspection by Landon, through the foundation repait by Brantley, Pat, Julian and Bobby, through the pier and beam installation by Matt and Tyron, to include the cost saving change, and finally the concrete leveling by Carnell and Desmond all work was done completely, professionally and timely with a constant flow of information on the process. Great work, timely arrival, superb coordination, and hard work is the entire team's standard at Mount Valley Foundation.

Joseph P & Tristan Baxter showed up on time, were very polite, were extremely knowledgeable about the work to be done, walked me through the process of work to be performed. Complete the job quickly & cleanly. They actually covered air vents & tarpped off the surrounding areas to prevent dust from going all over the basement. When the job was completed, they walked me through the functions of the equipment and showed me exactly where all the equipment was installed, both inside & outside the home. The icing on the cake, was their genuine concern that I was satisfied with the work done and made themselves available for any additional questions & concerns I may have. These 2 young men were an absolute pleasure to have working in my home.

I recently had Kevin Sweeney from Ohio Basement Authority come out to inspect my basement after I noticed what I thought was a water issue. Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on. He reassured me that the main issue could be easily handled through my home warranty company, which gave me great peace of mind. What really stood out was that he also identified a separate leak I wasn’t even aware of. His attention to detail and willingness to help were truly impressive. On top of that, he didn’t charge me for the visit, which I genuinely appreciated. I would highly recommend Kevin and Ohio Basement Authority to anyone looking for honest, professional, and thorough service. Diane OConnor Westlake Ohio
