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.

Nick and Josh showed up in my home yesterday to complete the work on my pool deck, leveling and stabilization. Nick explained in detail what they were going to do and how they were going to stabilize the concrete deck. He was very clear, very professional in how he delivered the information. Josh explained to me some of the techniques they would use to truly make this look professional complete and stable. I was thoroughly impressed with these two fellas and the work that they had accomplished. These two guys are a crackerjack team and should be acknowledged for their work and service. Thank you, Kim Working

Blaine Harvey was incredibly knowledgeable and truly took the time to explain everything. He also made it visual so you can also see what the issues were with the foundation. He was professional throughout the whole interaction. At the end he was knowledgeable about various options to get the project done and which was higher priority based on my financial budget. Highly recommend Blaine to do the consultation! Excited to see the work get done and the structure to be sound again!

We had a system installed by Baker's Waterproofing 3 years ago. It has functioned perfectly. We purchased an annual maintenance plan and that has paid off–John Beck was our Service Tech this visit and he was top-notch. John was very detailed, organized and he spotted a failure with our back up pump and replaced it. He was meticulous with cleaning the system, and didn't leave a spec of dust behind him when he left. We are very satisfied with Baker's.

I had a great experience with Bakers Waterproofing today. I used their concrete lift service on my driveway and front sidewalks. The team I had was awesome. Aaron Lenker and Anthony West were fantastic. They were very professional, friendly, and efficient. Aaron reviewed the work ahead of time to make sure we were on the same page and based on his experience we avoided some potential problems. After watching the process I can say Aaron was a real artist at the lifting process and Anthony was a pro at the joint sealing process. I’m very happy with the results and the professionalism of the entire Bakers experience. I’ll add pictures soon.

He was proactive in addressing my needs and concerns, and his follow-up was consistent and reassuring. Tim truly acted as an advocate for me, ensuring that my interests were prioritized at every stage. In conclusion, my experience with Tarheel Basement Systems has been outstanding, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of Ken Decamp, Michael Thompson, Stephen Foster, and Tim Martin.

I had a great experience with Groundworks, specifically working with Daniel Cippone. Daniel was professional, honest, and very knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He took the time to clearly explain what was going on with my sump pump and what needed to be done, without any pressure or upselling. The sump pump replacement was handled quickly and efficiently, and the service overall was excellent. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who is straightforward and takes pride in their work. I would definitely recommend Groundworks and Daniel to anyone needing reliable and professional service.
