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.

Joe Weber, Altoona Bible Institute Our insurance company informed us that the sidewalk of our Bible Institute was in need of repair. We called Groundworks to see if they worked in Altoona pa and if they were able to help us. From the first call to the completion of the project communication was great and questions were answered promptly. When it came time for the job to be done Aaron Lenker and Matt Engel were very courteous, competent and prompt. They completed the job quickly and cleaned the job site completely. We are pleased with the results and would recommend this company to anyone that needs this nature of work done. Thanks Groundworks.

Our recent experience with Alpha was excellent. Johnnie Clark, our contact, was very thorough in explaining the foundation lift process that was needed for our master bedroom and bath. The two gentlemen, Brandon and Nick, who were our technicians arrived on time and explained the process that was going to take place. They completed the repairs and answered all our questions. They cleaned up and made sure we did not have any additional questions and/or concerns. They were very pleasant and professional and we were pleased with the results of the process. This was our second interaction with Alpha and appreciate all they have done in addressing our foundation issues. Thank you. Ken and Kristine Johnson, OP, Florida

Service technician Chris Trevitz arrived promptly for my scheduled annual maintenance visit on Wednesday last week. As promised, I received a text notifying me when he was on the way. He completed the checklist to verify that all systems were in working order, checked the dehumidifier filter and made recommendations for updates. His explanations were clear and complete.

Their team (Richard Z, Shawn E and Sebastian M)were very prompted and thorough. They called ahead before they came and introduced themselves, plus explained the work to be performed. We seen a difference on the level of our floor as they worked it. They shown us pictures of the work underneath in our crawl space and what it took to achieve the results. We are pleased so far and would recommend them to others.

I’d had mud jacking for my garage slab a number of years ago, but the cracks worsened and slab sections were sinking again. Mark and Craig communicated well by phone prior, explained the work onsite, and did it quickly. I was pleasantly surprised — the slab sections visibly raised and they caulked the cracks. It looks so much better. This work is much more expensive than mud jacking, but my experience indicates it’s worth it.

We had Ground Works come out to our home to raise some slabs in our driveway and back patio. Manuel Belio and Jose Ortiz arrived as scheduled, looked over the job and went to work. I was a little concerned because they had to straighten out 3 slabs in the driveway that were raised 3 years ago by another company but settled more than 1 1/2 inches. Manuel said there wouldn't be any problem , they run into that all the time. I am 80 years old and have problems with trip hazards, when they were finished the job was like walking on a single slab of concrete. If you use Ground works for your concrete leveling you should see if you can request Manuel and Jose for your job.
