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.

Excellent work! I found Groundworks on Google and after reading through all the reviews, I decided to hire them. I live up north in Ontario, CA in a Century Home and after a very intense snowy winter, water was starting to seep into the basement. The snow was melting quickly and we were receiving a lot of rain. I was thrilled to have a rep come out within the week to assess the situation and provide an on the spot quote. They seemed knowledgeable and made me feel confident that they would get the job done well. Work began only about a week or 2 weeks after. The crew sent to complete the job were fantastic! Adebayo & Vandyke were excellent to work with. The project was given an estimate of 2 days from start to finish, but they actually finished in 1 day! Throughout the day they kept me in the loop and had me approve each new step. They also brought the necessary mats and plastic to keep the site clean; everything was sealed in so that dust was not entering the rest of the house, which was a big concern of mine. Once the work was done, they spent quite awhile cleaning up, the place was left in great condition. They actually forgot to give me the manual for the new sump pump, however a few days later Adebayo & Vandyke came out of their way to drop that off for me; now that's service! I would absolutely hire again or recommend Groundworks, they did an exceptional job.

Groundworks just left my property. I am more than happy with the work performed. The 2 men showed up on time and did exactly what I wanted done. Josh and hmmmm. sorry I forget the other man's name went straight to work, did not hang around and stare at their phones all day like a lot of other contractors do. I have a crawlspace basement and needed a sump pump and also needed insulation and existing poly removed. I thought about doing this project myself but health issues got in the way. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't cheap by any means, but these guys know what there doing and were super efficient. Cleaned up everything, did not leave anything behind. After job was completed, they explained to me how the pump works and who to call if there is an issue. All in all a rare good experience with a contractor. Would highly recommend.

Called to get a quote on floor sagging and foundation repair. They sent Jared Wyatt out with in a week to do the inspection. He was really thorough, friendly, and professional. He went around took pictures and measurements to get an understanding of the lay out and what we were needing done. Sat down with us and listened to our concerns and explained in detail what our options were, what they would be doing. Went over and explained all of their different payment options they offered and they different discounts as well. Would recommend if you’re having the same issues.

We used Alpha Foundations for a retaining wall job and they were just fantastic from start to finish. Kegan was our initial contact and was very polished and professional, explaining clearly the work that needed to be done. Stephen, David, and Isaiah were the team who completed the job. The guys were pleasant, professional, explained the work process clearly, and then did the job efficiently and effectively. Stephen also confirmed that we have the 5-year plan that warranties the work. We highly recommend Alpha Foundations!
