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.

Derek Enslow, Certified Field Inspector, came out to our house to do an inspection of our front porch. The concrete front porch had slowly been tilting away from the house. After a complete inspection Derek sat down with us and explained his finding and what could be done by Groundworks to stabilize the front porch. Derek did an excellent presentation, was very professional and answered all our questions.

I had a team in Northern Virginia led by Manuel G. and including Jose C. and Luis T. They replaced 2 sump pumps and put 2 piers at the footing of my chimney to stop it from moving. The crew was friendly, professional, and informative. Manuel discussed a couple last-minute changes to the work that simplified it and saved me money. It passed inspection on the first go and I'm very satisfied with the outcome.

Trevor and his team, Carlos and Drew did a wonderful job.They were friendly and professional, arrived when they said they would. Went right to work and the job was finished in a timely manner. Trevor did a good walkthrough and tweaked a few things under the house to make sure I was completely satisfied. I would recommend this company to any homeowner that wants to make the structure under the house more secure and your floors level. I feel that I made a good investment for my 1930's home.

The crew Steven, Chris and Brandon just finished our foundation stabilization. Steven explained the procedure and cost in detail in two different meetings. He was very professional, yet warm in his presentation. Before the work started I was given a written contract for my files and addendum to the contract. I so appreciated their professionalism in completing the work and keeping me informed of their progress. they were also friendly and it was a very cohesive team. I appreciate the hard work they did. They are excellent representatives for your company!

Had Jamie Tobin drop off his card on my door and mentioned he could fix our driveway. He was very responsive when I finally reached out and he came to the house. He answered all my questions and gave a very in depth presentation that covered a lot of information I didn’t know. I would highly recommend Groundwork’s and Jamie to anyone looking to repair their driveway or garage. Top notch guys!

My new 'water control system' (drains, sump) were installed yesterday as Hurricane Helene visited the Blue Ridge Mountains. My crew (Jason Butler, Raijohn Metcalf, Stacey Scott, and Joel Woodley) met the storm head on! What a fantastic job. They were there on time (this is a big deal for me), knew the job, had everything needed to do it, and got it done! They were courteous, careful, and tremendously hardworking – even as the water seeped in through the foundation. Amazing. I would totally recommend this crew and JES Foundation repairs. This hopefully solved a 30 year problem and the new system will give me back a big section of my basement – soon to be a Man Cave. If it handled a hurricane, it will handle anything.

Professional, Honest, and Hardworking Crew! Our floors were sagging dramatically, so we called Groundworks. They sent Michael out to inspect the issues, and after he took the elevations, we initially decided on four IntelliJacks and signed the same day. Roughly two weeks later, the crew arrived ready to work. The foreman, Roger, and crew members Juan and Santos did a thorough walkthrough and realized the home actually needed more than the original plan to be truly stable. We agreed on installing 24 feet of beam and six total jacks to support the entire house. They gave us a great price for the additional work, so we went for it. The crew even stayed late to ensure there wouldn't be any further delays with the project. These guys are amazing! I highly recommend Roger’s crew and Groundworks for any home foundation repair. Thank you, Groundworks!
