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.

This is my second time having Dry Pro perform work for me so I am a repeat customer. Mang and his team did an excellent job. I had my crawlspace encapsulated and the before and after is amazing. Mang kept me up-to-date as the project progressed and gave me a detailed walkthrough of the project once it was finished.

I had issues with the previous repair jobs but Jacob and his crew came out and knocked it out of the park. He was professional and explained everything to me as they went along. When he realized the job was a little more than expected he called for backup to make sure it was completed in a timely manner and to my satisfaction, enough so to where I extended my warranty. The back up crew got right to it and got 'er done. Hats off to Matt, Thomas, Jacob and the whole team.

I can't say enough good things about Bakers Waterproofing. Years ago they did waterproofing for me; this time I had them back for foundation repairs. It was a positive experience and quality job from beginning to end. Marshall, who came out to assess the situation and give me an estimate, was so courteous, knowledgeable and thorough. I had many questions and he was patient as he clearly explained and illustrated everything I asked about. I felt good about the price after some discounts. I was even more impressed when I got a call the next day, which was a Saturday, to schedule the job. I did have a bit of a wait, but my situation wasn't urgent and I thought the wait was reasonable for the time of year and volume of work they do. But I was really impressed with Jim and Pat Clark who came out to do the work. I had a confirmation call two days before, and Jim and Pat called when they were on their way so I'd know when to expect them. They were so friendly, professional and respectful and their work ethic was amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure all issues were addressed by their quality work. It's an old house so they ran into a couple of issues that they handled without complaining it getting upset. They ended up having to stay many hours past the time they expected to be finished. It was clear that they take pride in their work and weren't about to leave until everything was completed according to their obviously high standards. Jim and his brother Pat were a pleasure to have working here for two days. They're the best among many crews I've had work at the house over the years. Dedicated employees who do quality work make all the difference. They are a true asset and the foundation of Bakers' excellent reputation. I would hire Bakers Waterproofing again without a second thought.

Groundworks has done an excellent job on our leaky basement. Bill Williams examined our basement, suggested solutions, and explained the process before providing us an estimate. The crew who installed the perimeter drains, new sump pump, and dehumidifier were professional and efficient. Our crew was Foreman: Phinazee Reed, Co-Foreman: Steven Hil, and Installer: Kavon Asbury. I appreciate their help!

Anthony and Caleb came out for a poly renewal on the driveway and walkway. Basically I had some erosion under the driveway causing a slightly sunken slap and cracked, deap, widening control joints. These two were awesome. Arrived on time and completed the work in the time frame they specified. Lift looked amazing and concrete even. No more snow shovels snagging on concrete. The sealed joints looked great and looked better then expected. Definitely want this duo if another job arises.

As a structural engineer myself, though my work is in a different sector of construction, I can confidently say that working with Joe Daleo from groundworks was an absolute pleasure. While I don't specialize in residential construction, I knew I needed an expert to thoroughly assess the structural integrity of the foundations of a single family residence. Joe exceeded all expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and was able to provide valuable insights that I would not have considered. His attention to detail was excellent, and he took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. Communication was seamless throughout the process—he was always available to answer questions and discuss any concerns I had. Beyond his technical expertise, what stood out the most was his professionalism and friendly attitude. I highly valued his input and felt confident in the thoroughness of his inspection. If you’re looking for a structural inspector who is reliable, skilled, and dedicated to doing a thorough job, I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Daleo from groundworks.

I contracted with Tarheel Basement Systems to place a drain system in my basement which has been damp and gross for years. Robbie, Terrence, and Keaton were prompt, courteous, and efficient. Robbie explained the system in a way that I understood. After they were done they cleaned up thoroughly. The process from start to finish was well-managed and there were no hidden charges or pressure for add-ons.
