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.

The whole process, from learning all of my options to the completion of the job went very smoothly. The work got done in a timely manner and the men (Derek Trask, Eric Andrades, Ulises Fuentes) who did the encapsulation were very nice and hard-working. They finished in the time they said they would. I would recommend these guys.

I hired this company to clean out my crawl space and install a sump pump system. The whole crew was outstanding – prompt, polite, and professional. I had to revise the original work order to remove a second job of doing a house jack lift, and the change ended up causing an error on the revised work order – one of the parts for the sump pump system (remote alarm) had not been applied to the new work order even though it was not removed in the change order. Luckily I had asked about it as they were wrapping up. The foreman Mkowma was an absolute rock star – he literally went out of his way to resolve the issue. Since they didn't have the part on the truck, he personally drove back out to my home at the end of his work day and quickly installed the part and showed me how to use it. I did wish I was shown "after" pictures of the finished work but I forgot to ask about it. However the pump is working great and there was already a noticeable improvement in the air quality inside the home the next day.

We recently asked Groundworks to look at the water seepage issue which had developed in our basement. Christopher George met with us and recommended that we have a basement waterproofing/drainage system installed and also lift several sections of our driveway which were sloping toward the house. Chris was very knowledgeable and experienced and we felt his analysis of the issues and solutions provided were exactly what was needed. Rene and his team installed the waterproofing/drainage system and did an outstanding job. The team worked quickly and efficiently and completed the job in one day. They were also very careful to keep the mess to a minimum. Ivan handled the concrete leveling of several sections of our driveway and, again, did an outstanding job. Every person with Groundworks with whom we had contact was very helpful and courteous. Dave A.

Bought a house that had a foot of standing water underneath due to a leaking spigot. Plumber fixed the leak then Foundation Recovery Systems came out and installed a triple sump system, permanent dehumidifier, fully encapsulated the crawlspace and added 3 steel beams to ensure the house doesn't sag overtime. I was very pleased with the quality of their work. Wayne and his team (led by Jordan) made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. They even came back out to make some adjustments per my request at no additional cost.

Jesh and his crew did an amazing job. I would highly recommend this company to anyone with basement water issues. Jesh explained in detail how the system worked and answered any questions /concerns we had during the process. Never seen a crew work so hard from start to finish. Thanks also to Ryan for coming to our house to do the quote. He spent close to 5 hours doing his assessment and explaining the process. Excellent job done by everyone. Bob & Marnie

Adrian came to my house, and in the process of inspecting he found 2 places where soil had come to rest beside the house. He asked that I get him a shovel, and then he proceeded to fix the issues. This is a guy who goes above and beyond, earning trust and doing way more than the minimum.
