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 have had two jobs done by Mount Valley on two homes. Josh Craig crew did a good job and tried to save my original hardwood flooring. To be honest though, we live in far WNC and after calling 10 companies…all led to Mount Valley, so there's no competition other than locals who are either crummy or 6 months out if they are reliable and worthwhile. So, although I rate them overpriced, I guess they may be reasonably priced given our situation.

Vince and Evan came out and did a very thorough inspection. We appreciated their professionalism and patience with our many questions. The inspection required removing a small portion of dry wall and insulation. They made sure everything was completely cleaned up afterwards. Good guys!

My front porch steps are concrete and were pulling away from my house so I contacted AFS for help. Dylan, Tanner, and Mason came and checked everything out near my steps to see where water pipes and septic pipes ran before they started the job. They answered all my questions before they started. They broke out the concrete, hand dug to find footings, ran piers to 1600 psi, did lift procedure, and fondly sealed cracks and patched the concrete. Overall they did a good job and I'm well pleased.

I had my crawl space encapsulated and a support beam installed by FSM. Overall, the work was done well and my floor was level after the work they did. The only issue was the encapsulation of the sump pump and leveling of the dehumidifier. The original crew that came out put the dehumidifier of cardboard pieces from the box it came in rather than footings to keep it level. They also covered over our sump pumps completely which made then inaccessible and unable to function correctly so the sump actually overflowed and flooded the crawl space. I spoke with Amanda in the office who was so sweet, understanding, and efficient with getting another crew out to my home ASAP to fix the problem. Deshawn and Reggie came out and fixed the original issue, put the dehumidifier on risers to level it (had a laugh with me about the ridiculous state of it left by the original crew) and made sure to leave everything clean and tidy. They advised me on how to access everything in the future while maintaining the integrity of the encapsulation. The two of them really made sure I was happy with the end product.

After a failed attempt by a friend to install new drain tile in my basement, we hired Groundworks. Jarod the estimator was awesome and is a solid, pleasant contact person to deal with. Very happy to have met him as he is and outstanding person. The crew was led by an amazing young man by the name of Ian. He had a work ethic that you just don’t see in this day and age. His crew Skyler and Andreas were awesome and we had zero concerns about them being in our house or about the quality of work they would do. We interacted with all of them, and they are all very pleasant, hardworking young men. Every one of them had great communication skills and kept us informed at every step of the way. I would recommend Groundworks Rush City and Ian and his crew without reservation! Thank you for the hard work guys, you worked your tails off for us, and it is very much appreciated. Chris and Heather

I had Groundworks come out to work on my recently purchased house. There was extensive work, needing to be done on the stabilization of the house as well as the water mitigation. Sam, along with Brad, Tyler, and Jace, we’re all fantastic in taking care of everything! Their communication was perfect and they let me know everything going on at each step of the way. I would highly recommend Groundworks to anyone looking for this type of work on their house. I especially would recommend Sam’s team!

We started having issues closing our door to the garage indicating a possible foundation issue – i called Foundation Recovery Systems and was contacted by CFI Hunter Holmes. We agreed on a time and Hunter came out and got down and dirty in the crawl space area below our house. After about 3 hours Hunter came out, took another 40 minutes or so to put together a report, and then we sat down to see what he found. What i found is that Hunter Holmes is extremely knowledgeable about what can go wrong in a crawl space under a house. We talked about the specific issues under my house – any question i had was thoroughly answered. Hunter was indefatigable in explaining what needed to be done and why. I am thankful to him for his sincere and genuine help in my understanding what is going on in my crawl space. After Hunter left he remained available to answer any follow up question i had via text or phone call. I recommend 5 stars for Hunter Holmes without any reservation whatsoever.
