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.

Dominic and the project team; especially the crew foreman on my install were an A+ team. They are superior to any other contractor I have ever had. The crew foreman kept me updated with details of the install. The team worked non-stop in the harsh weather to get my crawl space enscapulated within 2 days. I am so grateful to them! However, you have the option to use their electricians for outlet installation. That was a poor decision on my part. The outlet has not been installed yet and electricians lack communication skills; are unreliable and lack credibility. I highly recommend OBA construction team as well as Dominic, but go with a reliable electrician.

A gentleman named Juan was out here today, April 14, 2026… and I must say that his attitude, demeanor, capability and overall professionalism was exemplary. He was in no hurry, was very communicative, and explained everything clearly. What a lucky company Ground Works is to have an employee like Juan

Had a great outcome on the finished product. Ty did an amazing job of identifying the issues and addressing them in a professional manner. He treated us with respect and really felt he listened to us. Leonard was involved from the beginning of the job till the end and did a great job of explaining the work he was doing and answered all of our questions in detail so we understood what to expect. Anthony and Ghaven did a wonderful job finishing up and cleaning everything up. Very friendly and professional. I would recommend Innovative Basement to anyone.

I would like to share my experience with Groundworks. I had the pleasure of working with Diego A., Cristian F., and Josiah W. At first, I wasn’t sure because they looked like kids. However, I was wrong they were young men. I explained the day before they were coming, my father had an appointment at the VA. Diego was so kind, he told me not to worry about anything to take my time, and they would be there once I was done. Unbeknownst to them, I saw them arriving and began watching them on my ring camera. They got there and went right to work. Please allow me to back up just a little. My apologies. Air and Drain Works were there before I even left for the VA. After returning they were still at the house. Air & Drain Works wanted to charge me $700 to dig a hole to find the drain. Long story short, I almost lost it. Groundwork ended up digging the hole as they had to dig that area up anyway. Diego said they would rather dig it up so they would ensure everything would be done correctly. That really took me back; it was the sweetest thing because he didn’t have to do that. However, it was very important to him that the job got done the right way the first time. I left for the VA, knowing we were in good hands. When we got back home, they waited to ask me about the flowerbed because they had to dig that area up. Literally, they dug up all my plants that were there and placed them nicely to the side. They even offered to place everything back the way it was. Again, I didn't expect that from them. I declined and said, "I'd take care of it myself.” The best thing about these three young men is I could tell they were enjoying what they were doing. Great communication with each other, very respectful, and genuinely cared about our needs and concerns. The last day, they cleaned everything up; in the front yard, there was no trash of any kind left behind. I know it may sound crazy, but these young men did a freaking amazing job. I’d work with them again. They all had great leadership skills, which was surprisingly because it’s usually the leader, not the case with these men. I know it may sound corny, but I’m sure their parents are so proud of them. They must be all of twenty years old to twenty-two years old. Five stars are NOT enough for them. I wish you boys nothing but the best they are lucky to have you!

I knew we needed to have work done. One floor area was having issues. I'd seen TV ads for two companies. Called Indiana Foundation first. They were responsive and had Doug C. scheduled to visit in a week. The office shared arrival time and how long the visit would take. He was on time and did not rush us. No high-pressure sales pitch. Doug photo-documented the areas needing attention. I had worked construction years back and could tell he was well versed in this area of business. So glad we called. Doug was great to work with.

We recently scheduled an inspection with AFS, and Wade was our specialist. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He conducted a thorough inspection of our home, evaluating concerns related to mold, condensation, and airflow. Throughout the process, he provided detailed explanations, inspection data, and clear insights into his findings, ensuring we fully understood both the issues and potential solutions. What stood out most was his honesty and integrity. He took the time to address all of our concerns without ever attempting to sell us services or products we didn’t need. His approach was professional, transparent, and genuinely focused on helping us make informed decisions. In addition to his expertise, Wade was incredibly personable and kind to both my spouse and me, as well as our children. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and informative. We truly appreciated his knowledge, sincerity, and professionalism, and we look forward to doing business with him in the future
