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.

We called this company to inspect our disaster of a basement. Trey Robinson was the employee that came out and inspected and he was super thorough and explained everything clearly. Super nice we got a call from him 24 hours before and the day off to confirm the appointment for the evaluation! He had very detailed videos and information to explain what was going on with our foundation and how to fix the problems we were experiencing! Definitely recommend Trey at Groundworks with Ohio Basement Authority!

Keevan B., Jarrell and Hunter were great. They waterproofed most of my basement in only one day. They did not make a huge mess of my basement, and they were careful with my home. They had to come back one additional time at my request, because I wasn’t happy with the discharge placement outside and the float level on the sump. They came within a day, and with great attitudes I should add! A few days later I noticed water in one corner so they came back out a second time and luckily it was just a loose fitting above from the discharge pipe, and not the waterproofing system in the floor. Now, things seem ok! Fingers crossed. Big rains last night, and I finally, finally, finally had a dry basement! Thanks guys!!!

Jason was extremely professional with regard to his maintenance visit this morning. He went over everything he did, provided "what to do if" advice and took the time to answer our questions. We were very impressed! Give him a raise (time to buy a new guitar)! Our experience with Ohio Basement Authority has been top notch.
