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.

We had JJ out to look at our property. He showed up 10 minutes early and was very professional. He helped us understand the fundamental problems with water coming into our basement. He guided us in the first steps necessary to keep our basement dry. I would recommend JJ to anyone! My husband and I appreciated his honestly and directness. Groundworks is lucky to have him as an employee.

My foundation was separating in my garage. I called Innovative Basement Authority out of Rush City, Minnesota. The salesman, Logan was very knowledgeable and did a great job communicating. The work was scheduled and the crew came right on time. The crew was very friendly and professional. They worked hard and completed the work in good time, leaving everything in great shape. The final bill was even less than the estimate! I had a very good experience with this company from start to finish and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a basement or foundation repair.

I want to recognize Jeff Doyle for his kindness and professionalism. During his visit with me, he noticed that I had a tree to fall in my yard. Jeff went above and beyond by speaking to some landscapers in my area and helped me secure a great price for the cleanup. He didn't have to, but out of genuine concern, he took the initiative to assist me. I truly appreciate his efforts. It made a lasting impression. It's rare to find someone who takes that extra steps to help others, and Jeff exemplifies exceptional customer service and care. Thank you, Jeff!

Matthew Urbanski was excellent throughout the process of addressing my elderly mother’s foundation issues. He took the time during a second site visit ( that I was able to be present for) to thoroughly explain what repairs were needed and the expected timeline for completion. Because my mother has been experiencing some memory issues, he was also very thoughtful in ensuring that all family members were included and informed throughout the process.
