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.

Courteous and professional service from start to finish! We had a major crack and an uneven path to our front porch, which was a tripping hazard. Since I'm not a professional concrete reapairman, I sought the help of the Groundworks team, and I'm very happy I did. Their field inspector Derek and Michael did a great job of explaining available options, setting expectations, and educating me on the process so I could make an informed decision. On the day of service, technicians Mike and Jackson arrived exactly as scheduled, and did a quick brief what they would be doing and made sure any questions that I had at the moment. They completed everything within a couple of hours and the work came out amazing. I am incredibly happy with the results. Both the price and the service, really showed me that they valued were dedicated to their work. I highly recommend Groundworks with all my friends who need the service.

Called because I thought I had a window well leaking into basement and needed correction. Charles, an inspector, came out and diagnosed problem, far more extensive was due to plumbing leak we had fixed in kitchen. We didn’t know it went into basement ceiling, paneling, and window area. Charles told us next steps at no charge. Didn’t try to sell us anything. Honest. Would use if had the issue they handle concerning waterproofing. Really liked integrity.

Fernando and his team of Jon, Justin and Henry arrived promptly, were very courteous and respectful of property. They made the minimum possible amount of noise and thoroughly answered questions and explained the really cool process of making my home stable and solid. I can now JUMP on the kitched floor and the contents of the refrigerator do not rattle and clink! Before, you could not even tiptoe past without hearing that noise and the floor was dipping off level. Thanks!

Met with Colin, who was incredibly thorough with his inspection and recommendations. He spent a long time crawling under our house to look at all the posts and report back where he found the issues. I was very happy with his care to the customers and confident of his recommendations for repair of our sagging floor. Signing the contract and getting scheduled was a breeze. I am looking forward to seeing how the work goes with this company.

Recently had a great experience with a home inspection for their services and look forward to working with them for a new foundation. They responded super quickly to set an appointment and Logan was very patient with me when I forgot what day it was 🫣 Logan and Jonas were very polite during the inspection and really did a thorough job and even went under the house into the crawl space. Then they sat down with me to discuss options and numbers
