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.

Primarily dealt with Joshua Eaton, a little with Dawson but all were professional, Ty McCully, Austin Benton, Aaron Hernandez did a good job, were efficient and did a good clean up in my garage. Being as we just had a 12” snow fall I didn’t expect them to work but they did, leveled the garage, set up sump pump and “sister” joist a beam. They had a hard time breaking up frozen clumps of dirt, but stated if the ground doesn't settle well come spring they would return. All in all I would recommend Foundation Recovery Systems

Inspection was very professional and more complete than the other two companies we used for quotes. Measurements were made and plans drawn out on their quote. (One other company barely crawled into the space and took no measurements.) Groundworks was not the cheapest quote but you get what you pay for! Quality install, done quickly, all questions answered. Installers Tripp, Keegan, James and Ryder worked well together, were polite, and got it completed quickly.

I had a great experience with Groundworks, specifically working with Daniel Cippone. Daniel was professional, honest, and very knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He took the time to clearly explain what was going on with my sump pump and what needed to be done, without any pressure or upselling. The sump pump replacement was handled quickly and efficiently, and the service overall was excellent. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who is straightforward and takes pride in their work. I would definitely recommend Groundworks and Daniel to anyone needing reliable and professional service.

My concrete front porch had developed an 8 to 10 inch void underneath it and I didn't know how to fix it, but knew it needed attention. Foundation Recovery was the solution. They were quick to perform an assessment and get the jod done. I am very pleased with the services provided by Foundation Recovery. Chet, the service rep, was very courteous, professional, and he answered all of my questions. Anthony and Hunter were also very professional and completed their work and left no mess behind. Anthony also answered all of my questions and explained what he was doing as he performed the work. Extremely satisfied!

I had a wonderful experience with JES Foundation Repair due to the exceptional Certified Foundations & Waterproofing Inspector, Jason DeBosky whom came to my home for a free estimate. The actual estimate was the icing on the cake! Mr. Jason arrived promptly, professional, and greeted me warmly. He entered my home to listen to my concerns and experience the unlevel floors. His assessment would require him to examine my crawl space and he quickly changed into appropriate attire. Upon his completion, he removed his coveralls and returned inside to patiently educated me. Instead of jumping to a sales pitch, Jason took the time to explain the purpose of my crawlspace, how it should benefit my home, and where/how the discomforts I am noticing relate to areas of concern in my crawlspace. He then continued to explain how JES Foundation Repair could permanently solve the concerns and drastically improve my family's living experience in our home. He NEVER pushed any products or services which was a wonderful experience that most female homeowners don't receive! He provided me with education and options which would allow me to make informed decisions. Jason thoroughly explained each solution and component within the solution. I felt comfortable the entire time and never felt like he was attempting to oversell me anything or distract me from my goals. As we moved through the presentation, Jason showed me pictures, measurements and moisture reading of my crawlspace. Then he used his lasers and equipment inside my home to show where and how his proposed design would impact our home. Again, I say this was a wonderful experience to receive the benefit of a well-experienced and informed inspection estimate report. The report would have cost me and enormous amount of money to discover where and what needs my crawlspace would require to keep a safe, comfortable home. But the knowledge and compassion from Jason to complement my estimate was priceless. Thank you, Jason.

Great job during our basement waterproofing by Ohio Basement Authority. Super efficient and good communication by Richard and his crew: Donte, Javaun and Dijon. Very considerate of our property and did a good job cleaning up as well. Would recommend them anytime! Electrician John Carlson got us off to a good start too and Matt Carson for explaining everything well and good communication.

Met two fine young men, Blake and Jeremy. They were assigned to a very difficult project on a 67 year old cabin with all the utilities coming into the cabin where they were working. They worked very hard, excavating by hand. I was impressed with the work they did and would recommend Foundation of Western Colorado to anyone requiring foundation work.
