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.

Highly recommend Mark Dougherty. He was incredibly thorough and super informative throughout the entire inspection. He took the time to explain everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way, pointed out both the important issues and the smaller details, and made sure we fully understood the home and what to expect going forward. You can tell he truly cares about doing a proper job and educating his clients, not just rushing through. We left the inspection feeling confident and well informed. Would absolutely recommend Mark!

A huge thank you to Bryce Edlund from Foundation Systems of Michigan (FSM)! After years of spending thousands of dollars on various contractors and basement systems companies to fix a persistent leak in my basement, I finally met Bryce. He took the time to listen to my story, asked insightful questions, conducted a thorough inspection, and identified the problem, offering a permanent solution. I was at my wit's end with nowhere else to turn when I called FSM, and they sent Bryce, who is knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and incredibly talented. I am beyond happy and relieved to have found someone who could finally solve my long-standing issue. Now, I have peace of mind and a solution that works, something the other 5 companies failed to provide. Look no further, folks—Bryce at FSM is your go-to problem solver!

We had our pool deck level and all the cracks sealed. Parts of the pool deck had sunk three to four inches. The results look great, the concrete deck is leveled all the way around the pool. They used a sand to color the joints and it looks fantastic. The process was easy from the start. AJ came and took his time writing up a thorough quote. Other “mud jacking” contractors would just ask for some cell phone photos and throw out a number. It was nice to work with a professional company.

We were concerned about our floors and asked around for recommendations. Without hesitation, many people pointed us to Ohio Basement Authority. When we called, we spoke with Alan Lefebre, who came out to assess the issue. Alan was incredibly thorough and discovered that one of our main beams was compromised due to old termite damage. The damage had been missed because it was sandwiched between two healthy boards. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring we fully understood the situation and his recommendations. While the cost was significant, we realized that putting it off for years would only lead to bigger cost and bigger issues. This is an investment in our home, and we believe it will be worth it. Alan was easy to talk to, patient, and never rushed through the process. He even took the time to educate us about the effects of salt on our concrete steps, pointing out how it could cause damage over time. His knowledge, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile made a huge impression on us. We highly recommend reaching out to Alan Lefebre at Ohio Basement Authority if you’re dealing with foundation concerns. His expertise and professionalism made all the difference!

My basement flooded and Groundworks didn't have any immediate openings. However, they went above and beyond by getting Bryan Doyle to come to my house and his day off to install temporary sump pumps. I was very pleased that my basement was drained and stayed dry until the full crew could come out a week later. I would definitely recommend Groundworks!!!!!

We recently had Ohio Basement Authority at our home to complete repairs on a basement wall. During the repair process, the work being performed did not align with our understanding or expectations. After contacting the main customer service line, I received some assistance, but several of my questions and concerns remained unresolved. I was then connected with Jake Merrill, Field Supervisor, whose involvement made a significant difference. Jake listened carefully, acknowledged that the project was not progressing as either of us expected, and assured me he would take immediate steps to correct the situation and ensure the work was completed that same day. His communication—both by phone and text—was prompt, clear, and consistently professional. Jake delivered on every commitment he made. The repairs were completed successfully that day, and we are very pleased with the final result. In an environment where exceptional customer service is increasingly rare, Jake demonstrated genuine dedication to resolving the issue and ensuring our satisfaction. We sincerely appreciate Jake Merrill’s efforts. Jake was a difference maker in the results and our appreciation for the job results.

I recently had Jarrod Kingrey from Alabama Foundation Specialists (AFS) out for a service call, and I can’t say enough good things about him and the experience! Jarrod arrived right on time, was extremely professional, polite, and clearly takes pride in his work. He thoroughly inspected our foundation/crawl space, explained everything in plain language walking us through exactly what was going on and gave recommendations for what would need to be done in the future. His knowledge and attention to detail were impressive—he spotted things we never would have noticed ourselves and gave us honest, practical advice. What really stood out was how courteous and respectful he was the entire time. He cleaned up after himself, protected our property, and even took the extra time to answer all our questions patiently. In a world where service calls can sometimes feel rushed or impersonal, Jarrod made us feel like our home truly mattered to him. If you’re in the Birmingham area and need foundation repair, waterproofing, or routine service, ask for Jarrod Kingrey—you won’t be disappointed. He’s a credit to AFS and the kind of technician every company hopes to have on their team. Highly recommend—thank you, Jarrod, for the outstanding service!
