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.

Very pleased with the work that was done. Luis, Ramon, and Rodrigo were very professional. They were very informative with the reason behind the push piers and how they work. They did an excellent job leaving the area clean and I couldn't even tell they were here. Thanks Groundworks.

Struggling with water seepage in the lower level of our house, I wanted to fix the problem once and for all and called Mount Valley. The inspector, Scott, did a detailed review, took the time to discuss everything, and made certain that my questions were answered. He also responded to follow-up questions that I had a few days later. Familiar with sump pump installations, having had one in a prior home, I became convinced that it would be the best way to ensure the problem would be solved. The initial installation schedule was farther out than I wanted, as we were trying to get ready for an influx of family, but MV was able to move us to an earlier date when they had a slot open up on their schedule. The installation foreman, Durand, worked with me to resolve site issues even though it meant another visit a few days later. The final installation was accomplished as Durand, Ron T, and Patrick worked past normal hours as the sun was going down to get the job done. In the end, I was grateful for a professional job by the MV team and the courtesy extended by everyone throughout. They are deserving of a fine review.

Mark Robichaud was the most knowledge, trustworthy, and honest foundation expert I’ve ever met. He very clearly communicated issues with my crawlspace in a straightforward but non-overwhelming way. He spent an incredible amount of time inspecting, discussing and educating me on the issues and then prepared very clear, easy to understand estimates for each phase of the overall project. I feel much more educated from our meeting and highly recommend him! Thank you!

Patio slab is pulling away, Scott did a survey and has a solution. Everything was well explained, professional, and reassuring that this will do the trick. It's one of those costly things homeowners endure that's part of life, but these guys should be able to handle it.

Matthew came to do an evaluation of my foundation issue. He was very polite and thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns. He was able to schedule a crew to do the work in 2 weeks. Matthew projected 9 pilings would be necessary to stablize my house digging from the inside. When the crew arrived, they found it better to digg on the outside except where my patio was. They worked hard and completed the job in one day.

FSS has been terrific partner through a very turbulent and frightening time for our house. When we started to notice foundation and crawlspace moisture issues, our thoughts go to the worst, but Rich helped us stay come, providing the most thorough inspection of any other company we had out, spending the time we needed to understand our issues and the possible solutions. He was always available for our questions and made us feel like he was in our corner. The crew that performed the work (shout out to Mark V, Danny, Moses, and Ricky) were absolute rock stars and very professional, communicating expectations clearly along the way. They were ahead of schedule and did a great job! Would recommend FSS to anyone who asks!

I had a fantastic experience with Jeff from JES Foundation Repair. I was worried about separation in my baseboards and door trims, but Jeff was incredibly thorough during his inspection. He took the time to take measurements and photos, ultimately putting my mind at ease by explaining that it was just natural settling for an 8-year-old home. He didn't try to oversell me or use fear tactics. It’s rare to find that level of honesty—I’d recommend him to anyone!
