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.

From the initial inspection by Landon, through the foundation repait by Brantley, Pat, Julian and Bobby, through the pier and beam installation by Matt and Tyron, to include the cost saving change, and finally the concrete leveling by Carnell and Desmond all work was done completely, professionally and timely with a constant flow of information on the process. Great work, timely arrival, superb coordination, and hard work is the entire team's standard at Mount Valley Foundation.

Salvador, Elder, Everardo, & Pedro did an outstanding job! For years, some service folks would not even go in my crawlspace for fear of not coming back out lol. After these guys took care of encapsulating the entire space, you could sleep under there! I am certainly looking forward to no more moisture and mold, fungus or critters. I am extremely pleased with the work, the crew, and the efficiency – on time and per agreed-to schedule. Highly recommend AFS and these four guys getting it done for you!

Big thanks and shoutout to Aaron Flowers, Andrew Welty, and Carlos Gutierrez who flew in from the Denver, CO groundworks location to address my encapsulation job in California! All three were complete professionals while completing the project. They treated our home with respect (placed plastic to protect our floors and walls as needed), cleaned up after each work day, and kept us informed on how the job was progressing. We went with encapsulation due to each time we had heavy rain, the crawl space would get standing water/muddy (it comes up from the ground). Unfortunately we had a heavy rain storm the first couple days of the encapsulation project, and as such the crawl space turned into a muddy mess. Aaron, Andrew and Carlos would come out of the crawl space looking like they had just completed a mud wrestling match. They kept a positive attitude, and pushed through the challenges of the muddy crawl space to get the project completed. Thank you Groundworks for sending such a great crew to complete my project!

We had Aquaguard come to look at our foundation and crawl space earlier this week. Your representative Darrius Bowens made a thorough inspection and then was able to explain clearly the steps needed to resolve our issues. It was very clear what needed to happen and he made sure we were comfortable with Aquaguard as a company we could trust and the right payment schedule for us as seniors. Darrius is very personable and an excellent representative of your company. Thank you.

Gered Bales started things off right, providing a detailed estimate and initial assessment for the repair of our basement. He had the experience to offer a good explanation of the problem. He set up financing and was very responsive with issues preceding our project. Nate, Brian, and Gavin were our project team. Nate, as leader, provided a great explanation for the required change to the method of repair for the back wall. He was able to convert from anchoring to braces and extend the waterproofing system, to extend to the rest of the back wall. He and Brian were very experienced/knowledgeable in the work and the systems. Every time I ventured to observe the work, I was impressed with their attention to detail, making sure that things were done correctly. Although Gavin was less experienced, he was a dynamo. He and Brian hand dug the discharge line, under a sidewalk. I was particularly impressed with the job he had done breaking out the edge of the floor slab, without disturbing the footing. All of the team, did an excellent job of making sure that we were updated on the project progress.

I called out groundworks because I noticed separation between my main load wall and ceiling. At first they gave me a quote for installing a sump pump and drainage systems as well as encapsulating the crawl space which was around 49k. I simply could not afford to do that so then they just gave me a quote for raising the house. I remember Justin, I believe his name was pointing out that there was bad floor joists under there and the beams were cutting into the wood. The main reason for the sinking was the soft soil underneath due to moisture getting under the house. I could only do what I could afford to do at the time which was raise the house. I wish I would have paid better attention to the contract though. I thought that estimate for 13k and some change included replacing the bad floor joists but it only included replacing the pillars. The foreman could only raise the house so much because the wood beam, which was good wood, was cutting into the bad floor joists. So the separation wasn't completely closed because if the foreman, Irving I believe his name was, raised it any higher the beam would just cut into the bad wood. They did close the gap a little but there is still a gap. I would imagine to get them back out here to replace the bad joists would be another 5 to 10 k. I assumed that raising the house and securing it would have included replacing the bad joists but I guess I was mistaken. I read through the contract and it only mentioned replacing the pillars. The work they did complete seems quality but I wish it would have included replacing the bad joists since that directly affected their ability to raise the house all the way.
