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.

The experience over all was great. Had a few small bumps in the road. A few things were left off of the work order and scheduling was kind of slow with the electrician. My salesman, Blake took care of it all and made it right. As for the installation crew, Cesar and his crew were amazing!!! Cesar was the one that noticed the mistake in the order and was trying to get it resolved prior to coming out, but he was having trouble getting in touch with the salesman Blake for some reason, he would not answer his phone call. Once he finally got Blake on the phone, which I had to call from my number, they worked it all out. Cesar and his crew took the time to be careful of all the plants in the flower beds. They dug up the rose bushes and replanted them when they were done. Also put down plywood to save the grass. Cesar kept apologizing for the mistake in the work order, I assured him that it wasn’t his fault. Blake did apologize but his communication could be better. He did resolve the error and I’m very grateful. But a special shout out to Cesar and his crew Miguel, Luciano, and Jerman!! They were great. When they cleaned everything up, it looked better than it did when they got there. Your install crew taking the time to acknowledge my frustration and being so kind really made the difference. Great job guys!!!

JES did a fantastic job with the crawlspace. Removed old materials, installed a crawl drain and sump pump system, and then encapsulated the area with a dehumidifier. Bijon Simpson especially was a very hard working foreman. He stayed until the job was complete, working by himself for several hours late into the night to ensure all tasks were completed and to my satisfaction. Anything small I noticed that needed to be revised per the contract, he did it flawlessly. Definitely would recommend Bijon Simpson and JES on any crawlspace work.

Lo, it came to pass that the floor surrounding our kitchen island did bounce beneath our feet, as though our dwelling had been constructed atop springs both whimsical and unwise. This state of affairs brought neither joy nor confidence, for our home is yet but a youth. Enter Sir Michael Dever of Aquaguard by Groundworks. Sir Michael was most thorough in his inspection and did plainly reveal the cause of our floor’s peculiar conduct. He set forth several remedies with the judgment of a structural sommelier, the quiet wisdom of a home alchemist, and the steady wit of one long accustomed to translating the strange complaints of houses. There was no pressure, no fear conjured. Only clear expectations, sound counsel, and a price both fair and reasonable. So assured were we by his manner that we did secure a five-year service plan, that he may return yearly to confirm our kitchen floor remains firm, faithful, and unenchanted. Should thy house behave in ways a house ought not, seek Sir Michael Dever, Service Technician.

My basement flooded after the snowcrete of 2026 thawed and I had several people come to give me estimates. I had decided on a contractor, but kept my estimate appointment with JES to do my due diligence. Well, Ajeet completely sold me on JES; he explained how flooding via hydrostatic pressure occurs, with videos and diagrams, and I really appreciated the time he took to explain it all to me in a way that made sense. I changed my mind immediately (original contractor was going to do all work outside the house) and I am the proud new owner of a sump pump and basement gutter. The team that came to install, Minyard, John, and Anthony, were great. We did a walk through each morning and then again once the job was done. The basement looks great and you can't even tell where they buried the gutter extensions outside. I definitely recommend JES if you have a wet basement.

I called JES Foundation Repair because I have several holes in the cellar concrete under my deck that need to be repaired. Jeff came to my home and was very thorough with his inspection of my home. He was very knowledgeable regarding concrete and answered all of my questions. He was very friendly and it was a real pleasure dealing with him. I would highly recommend JES Foundation Repair to anyone needing concrete work.

Just a quick shout out to American Foundation Specialists, Tommy, Jeremy and Dylan for getting our dining room floor and floor joists replaced. We had water damage from Hurricane Katrina in the original portion of our home that was built in 1909. Over the last 20 years, the old wood flooring began to deteriorate. The construction team members from AFS were very professional, and maintained a clean work area. They even identified a small gas leak that had to be dealt with by Spire Energy. We are grateful that the guys were quick to assist us with getting the gas leak identified and safely handled. Phelan and Annette Johnson

When we purchased our home in 2017, there was already a crack across the top 2 segments of the driveway where that area had sunk quite a bit. Besides the cosmetic issue, we felt this subsidence was also a tripping hazard. After researching on line and using Angi (formerly Angi’s list), I found GROUNDWORKS (formerly FSS: Foundation Support Specialists) who came out to give an estimate. Ricardo showed up on time with advanced warning of his ETA. He was thorough and left me with a color-coded bid. Some of the driveway and sidewalk leading to the front door were going to be lifted, and some parts stabilized using the foam injection method. Even though I received bids from 2 other companies, I chose GROUNDWORKS for their 5-year warranty and mid-level pricing. All companies were 4.5 stars or higher on both Google and Angi. The 1st scheduled job day was December 26 and was postponed due to strong storms; the communication with the foreman was easy. On the re-scheduled day, I was texted before they arrived, and they arrived on time. The job was completed in about 2 hours. I am very happy with the results.

This was an awesome experience. Steven , David and Isaiah walked me through everything they were doing and why they did it, they all took extra time to make sure I was well informed on the process and anything they were doing. They did an excellent job on the clean up it was like they never was there.
