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.

I had gotten a quote to lift my sinking front steps. Anthony C came out to do the work, and he was early!! He lifted the parts listed in the quote, and then he lifted the corner of the driveway, because it made the job complete. Even thought it wasn’t on the original quote, he felt that leaving it undone wouldn’t have been the best or safest choice. I really appreciate him going above and beyond in fixing the front of my house!!!

Working with Dan Heath was excellent. He came, assessed our issue and sat down to go over his findings. He is very knowledgeable, explained everything in great detail and showed us what set FSM apart from other companies. He went through everything in great detail on how to prepare and set up for crew to come in and work. I also want to point out how nice and enthusiastic the crew was. They worked a very hard, long day and were polite and kind the whole day despite the cold temperatures. I have already recommended the company to others as we are very satisfied with the process from initial assessment to completed work.

Just had an appointment with Ivan Aviles Field Specialist. He really knows what he is talking about. My wife and I were not sure what to expect because foundation repairs are no little job. The way he explained the process really made it a lot easier to understand. Going to have a few more appointments but as of now Foundation Support Specialists are my first pick.

So let me tell you the facts!! We have been needing to raise our driveway and patio for sometime and we heard about this company Alpha Foundations. So we called and set up a meeting and Maurice came to the house . Many things we found great about this company is that he called us to confirm our appointment. The next morning I called him letting him know if he could come earlier would help us out greatly and he was able to do so. Had lots of information and seemed to have much knowledge about what needed to be done and what it would take to get the desired results! We made our deal and signed on the dotted line to get things rolling. We received a call with the date and time they would come out and who would be coming. In a few hours we received a call from the foreman telling us his name and what and when he would show up the next day. Five minutes before the time George the foreman showed up and walked me through the whole process and answered all of my questions. George’s professionalism and his desire to do his best was seen in his work. He and Davon did everything that they said they would do and even took the time during the work to answer more questions. During the process, George was training a new guy Davon. I watched George clearly speak and work with Davon in a very kind and compassionate way. It’s good to see and hear someone like George take the time and be so thoughtful and thorough with his trainee. He complimented how great the company they work for looks after them and helps them to be better people and to work ethically. I even overheard George say to Davon always do the kind of work for the customers that you would do for your own mother and would want someone else to do for your family. There were a few things I thought this raising would fix in the driveway but George explained why it wouldn’t and it made sense. The results look good and they cleaned up all the mess they made. He walked me through again and told me all that was done and asked if I was satisfied. They went above and beyond what was expected and now all I can do is wait and see if the promises and warranty hold true over time. George also took the time after to go over and speak with two separate neighbors that had come over to see what I was having done to our home.

I serve on the HOA board for a 36-unit condo building in Los Angeles, and we had a major accessibility issue. Our driveway entrance was sinking while the adjacent sidewalk slab was rising. Over the years, this created a 4-inch lip that caused residents' cars to scrape every time they entered. Since most of our residents live here year-round, we needed a solution that wouldn't block access for days. After researching, I found Groundworks. Mike met with us and explained the concrete lifting process clearly. His estimate was very reasonable, especially compared to the alternative: tearing out and repouring the entire drive, which would have taken days and caused a logistical nightmare. Groundworks had all their insurance and licenses in order, making the onboarding process seamless for our Property Management. Unlike many contractors I’ve dealt with, Mike provided consistent updates and kept the project moving. On installation day, the foremen, Jacob and Ricardo, arrived exactly at 9:00 AM. Jacob was great at communicating what was realistic for our 'driveway dilemma.' In just a few hours, they were finished. They raised the slab several inches, caulked the cracks, and even ground down the sidewalk edges for a smooth finish. By the next day, residents were driving in without any issues. I was the 'HOA hero' for finding such an efficient, cost-effective fix. Homeowners rejoiced! A few weeks later, everything is holding up perfectly. I recommend Groundworks wholeheartedly for anyone dealing with foundation or concrete issues. It was a better and quicker solution than we ever imagined.
