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.

Tori and Chris are top shelf, hard-working, personable, perfectionists, who don’t settle for “good enough.” They explained what they would do to lift my sidewalk and driveway, how their product works, and left my property cleaner than they found it. They took time to show me what they were doing as they were working and patiently answered my questions. Their work was exceptional and my driveway and sidewalk look great! I couldn’t be more pleased. Alpha Foundations has at least two guys who are fantastic at what they do.

We scheduled an appointment to inspect our house, knowing there were problems. Darell arrived and took the time to do everything necessary to identify the problem. He was very professional and explained in detail what was going on. His experience and manner convinced us to repair the house with FRS ( also th voice time guarantee). Alex was our foreman, and he also did an incredible job with the repairs. They finished on time and in the proper manner, and were always friendly. Thank you!

I recently purchased a house knowing there were foundation issues regarding uneven flooring. I contacted Ohio Basememt Authority. They sent out Zach Wagner. He then spent his time carefully taking pictures and creating a whole layout of the house inside and out. As well as measuring each room to get a more accurate solution. After that he offered a suit I could wear if I wanted to enter the crawl space with him. So we went into the crawl space and he pointed out everything he could see that needed fixing even besides the foundation. After he took all the measurements and showed me all the problems and potential hazards in the crawl space, we talk over the exact way Ohio Basement Authority would resolve the issue and made sure to answer any and all questions I had. He was a very professional and knowledgeable guy. I had a great inspection experience and wanted to thank Zach Wagner and his company!

I spent the time and made calls to have 6 different companies to come out. Some were higher and some were lower. Lots of research on my own to ask the right questions. One was a call with Jacob from FSS. I had the front portion of my house & garage corrected by these folks. The steps from the sales call and education of what was to be done was very friendly and informative. No pressure to close the sale, more focus on what is happening and what the future looks like. I went with the push pier system. I really liked the features this system offered. The Team that came out and did the work was quick and thorough. I spent some time watching the work and asking lots of questions, all with a great smile and engagement. Thank you to Thomas N, Kennen P, Christian G, and Kale R. 4 guys doing quick and great work. You will not be disappointed with these folks.

I reached out to A1 Sewer & Drain for repairs of a severely clogged bathroom sink drain, washer drain and kitchen faucet in an older home. I had seen A1 trucks around in other neighborhoods. I did a little research and read some of their reviews. I decided to give A1 a try. Everyone I encountered at A1 from the customer service rep who took my information and scheduled my service appt to my assigned technician Adam Barnett were professional and friendly. A1 followed up with appt confirmation and provided pic of technician so I knew who to expect. Adam arrived within the service window; he called to let me know his estimated time of arrival. On arrival we discussed the repairs and he went to work. Adam took the time to answer my questions and pointed out problem areas he found. The repairs were completed to my satisfaction and Adam cleaned up where needed. I was pleased with A1 and will definitely use their services again.
