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.

I'm very pleased. We had three helical piers installed to stabilize one corner of our foundation. Chris W and his crew arrived early and worked quickly to hand dig the holes. They were professional and addressed any questions i had along the way. They used excavator with a boom to install the piers. They cleaned up and restored the foundation dirt/sand as if no work had been done. Best part is the foundation is stable and 'is not going anywhere'. It was not inexpensive but when I think of how expensive it is to fix damage caused by failing foundations, it was a wise investment. Additionly, considering the skill, labor and equipment required to complete the job, the cost was reasonable.

Houston, TX Very happy with Terik M. and Fassel M. These young men were very professional and did a great job. They kept me posted as they moved thru the work, making sure that i was pleased with what they had done so far. Thanks to Terik's advice I will hold off for 90 days on replacing the rotted siding so the house will be fully settled. Glad I mentioned it to him! Highly recommend Groundworks for future needs.

Awesome! JES was the only company that was going to permit and have the county inspect their work. Top notch quality and the best value compared to other contractors that bid non permitted work. They fixed my sinking sidewalk and moldy crawlspace. The floors are warm all winter long and the house smells clean and fresh. Nick Feaster was a great inspector. He seemed new at this job but was well trained and personable. 100% would recommend!

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!

We bought a nice home in the town of Wytheville VA. It is an older Historical House. It has a dirt basement and crawl space. After a few months living here myself and my wife found ourselves coughing ever now and again. We wondered if it was coming from the basement. We never owned a home with dirt. So we called JES to come out and perform a test and oh my goodness we had hidden mold. They set down with us and explained how it could be eliminated. Gave us a price to wrap the whole basement and beams put a Humidifier in and sump pump in case we took on water. They were in and out in a day and a half and we have not coughed again. And I'm not ashamed of our dirt basement now because you can't see any dirt . We highly recommend these folks and I mean the field guys office personnel all Reps. And every now and again they either call us or come bye to see if everything is going good. Unbelievable Thanks Again JES
