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.

Tony Marlowe came out and drove 2.5 hours to inspect the foundation of home! He was on time, very polite and took the time to answered all our questions. Our home is going to need over 15K in foundation work so as consumers we want to feel good about the quality of the work we will be getting done with AFS. We would recommend Tony and AFS to anyone who needs home foundational work done. Thanks again, Tony!

We own an ice cream, popcorn and coffee shop in downtown Fairhope in a historic house built in 1910. We had to make an important decision to temporarily close our business and improve our building's structure, which had many significant issues. After meeting with Keenan, we made a decision to use AFS because he was so professional, thorough and knowledgeable in his assessment of our issues and what needed to be done to fix them. Chance Smith was the foreman on our job; he and his colleagues worked diligently and professionally to complete our complex project plan which included new support piers underneath and moisture control encapsulation of the crawl space. They were a joy to deal with and delivered beyond our expectations. 100% recommend them and would use them again!

I just have to share what an amazing crew Groundworks has, from start to finish! It started with Ashton as our sales person, great customer service…answered all questions and great communicator! We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to begin installation way sooner than promised! The installation team, including Ramon, Fili, Angel, and Wyatt were so personable and professional. Their communication was outstanding, always letting me know when they were on their way. We had many issues with city permitting, nothing Groundworks did wrong, but Ramon and Wyatt were so good at keeping me informed. They were always promptly on time too. Thanks Groundworks crew, really appreciate your services!

Thanks to Richy Allbritton at Alpha Foundations. Richy performed a routine inspection of my crawl space to make sure that there were no problems with the work Alpha did previously or any new issues. He did a great job explaining what he was going to do pre-inspection and then what he found post inspection (no real issues, yeah). Great job, Richy and Alpha Foundations!

recently hired JES Foundation Repair for basement waterproofing and foundation stabilization, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. They provided a detailed plan that included a full perimeter drainage system, sump pump installation, and wall protection to prevent moisture issues. What stood out most was their transparency—clear pricing, transferable warranties, and compliance with all local regulations. The crew worked efficiently and left the area clean, and the quality of workmanship was top-notch. It’s clear they take pride in doing things the right way. If you’re looking for a reliable contractor for foundation or waterproofing work, JES Foundation Repair is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! Thank you Brandon Warren, Tyler Holthaus, Larry White and the whole team for job well done

We had our crawl space repaired and sealed by Groundwork's. From our inspection and estimate to the completion of the project was great. Keith Boyd and his crew did a fabulous job. They were professional and respectful of our house while working. Keith made sure we understood what the project entailed and did not leave until all our questions were answered. I highly recommend Groundwork’s to anyone that needs crawl space or foundation work done!I give them a AAA+ rating.

Robert and his team started earlier than expected which is always good. They put piers under my foundation and drywall cracks closed up and doors latched without lifting them instantly. They cleaned up and repaired concrete they had to get under and were gone in a few days. I would suggest them. I have a few in process pics other than the seed, straw and some newer concrete you’d never know they were there.
