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.

FSM came out to waterproof my basement where the drainage had gone bad due to age. There were a few issues and the team had to come back after the initial fix, but FSM handled it vey well. They were not satisfied until I was happy with the project. All employees who came to my house were great communicators (called before estimated arrival time to let me know they were on their way, answered all my questions while on site, provided call backs, etc.) Alex K., Terrell Jr., and Jason were professional, friendly, and extremely hard workers. They were very respectful of my home and property (with a job that is quite messy!) and at the end of the day everything was clean and back to normal. I'm happy they were on the job and would recommend them, and FSM, to anyone needing basement waterproofing.

Excellent experience overall. I had to wait a couple of months to get work done and the scheduling department was confusing. When they did come to do the Intelijack install under our porch/hall crawl space- Larry and Felix did a really good job. I was amazed at how hard they worked , with minimal breaks and a very long day. They cleaned the site underneath porch, then dug 7 holes , laid the marble stone and fitted the jacks and install all in one day. Cleaned up and left the site spotless. Then, another crew came out to install an indoor basement french drain and vapor barrier. Again great work. Amazing team with many men: Terrance, Mohammed, Isaiah, Kevin, Melvin, Shakeem, Chino, Israel and Jay. Great work guys!!! Team players, very nice and hard workers. Quality work. Only complaint is Groundworks doesn't do any caulking of hole around drain pipe on exterior of home and the stairwell steps had to be removed in order to install drain and they didn't nail steps back into place. It would have been nice if those things could have been done. Also the new dehumidifier does make a bit of noise. They say it is very quiet, we are getting used to it though. It's not too, too loud , but definitely noticeable. As far as drain goes-So far so good. Haven't had a large enough rain storm yet to tell if problem is solved.

Mark and Donald Dykes were great. Good work and communication. The company however is very unprofessional. Every. Worker they sent out said that the previous worker did the install incorrectly. And then they charged me for the fixes. This is what I ended up with in the middle of my room. Styrofoam on the bottom, tape over the top. It’s huge!! I never would have paid in excess of 15,000$ if I had know that it would take over a year to finish the job and that this is the result.

Deven from Groundworks is extremely thorough and courteous. Even though we worked through the estimate for a few hours, he was able to explain and answer every single question we had. Trust, we are a tough audience. They are not the cheapest but gave us the peace of mind knowing we will be taken care of no matter what. No surprise up charges, just a straight black and white pricing. The products are definitely superior to the other 7 estimates we received for foundation repair. Don’t be bamboozled by the competition with their rusty pipes!
