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.

They were punctual and very personal. Staff was polite and efficient! They even added on to the job and still got it done in a 1.5 days. When we thought we had a problem after the job was finished they came back no charge and added extra protection even after verifying issues weren’t connected. Grace made scheduling, and payment very easy! High recommend!

Thank You to the following guys for being professional and staying late. They had a positive attitude even when their truck would not come out of park for 40 minutes. They stayed late the first night to get as much done as possible. The Foreman came back the next day with a different crew with the same positive energy. They did an excellent job fixing our basement . Bryant D, Jacob V, Harold, Brandon W and Stephen Cole.

I am so impressed by the project execution of Manuel Guzman, Jose Cruz, and Jose Estrada. My crawl space and foundation project actually came in under budget and ahead of schedule thanks to Manuel's keen attention to detail. They worked here for six days to install sump pumps, dehumidifier, three piers, replace beam supports, and encapsulate the crawl space. They were on time, orderly, diligent, and professional. I am definitely going to sleep easier knowing that the air I'm breathing in my home is no longer filled with mildew, and that my home is structurally sound. Thank you JES!

I recently had Groundworks come out to fix a leak in my basement, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and extremely well organized. They worked with a real sense of urgency while still paying close attention to detail. They kept everything clean throughout the process and made sure the work area was tidy before they left. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. I highly recommend Groundworks to anyone dealing with basement or foundation issues — they made a stressful situation much easier to handle!
