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.

Zach from Alpha took good care of us. We had some unforeseen obstacles to the project bc the original slab that was in place was not done to code. Zach and his team made an extra effort to explain the challenges, propose some possible solutions, and ended up providing additional services at no charge to make sure everything was resolved. We have quite a few friends and vendors who have used Alpha for repeated services that went very smoothly and straightforward. Ours was an outlier that presented a unique challenge. It was great to see Alpha treat us exceptionally well during this process. Thanks, Zach

I called out groundworks because I noticed separation between my main load wall and ceiling. At first they gave me a quote for installing a sump pump and drainage systems as well as encapsulating the crawl space which was around 49k. I simply could not afford to do that so then they just gave me a quote for raising the house. I remember Justin, I believe his name was pointing out that there was bad floor joists under there and the beams were cutting into the wood. The main reason for the sinking was the soft soil underneath due to moisture getting under the house. I could only do what I could afford to do at the time which was raise the house. I wish I would have paid better attention to the contract though. I thought that estimate for 13k and some change included replacing the bad floor joists but it only included replacing the pillars. The foreman could only raise the house so much because the wood beam, which was good wood, was cutting into the bad floor joists. So the separation wasn't completely closed because if the foreman, Irving I believe his name was, raised it any higher the beam would just cut into the bad wood. They did close the gap a little but there is still a gap. I would imagine to get them back out here to replace the bad joists would be another 5 to 10 k. I assumed that raising the house and securing it would have included replacing the bad joists but I guess I was mistaken. I read through the contract and it only mentioned replacing the pillars. The work they did complete seems quality but I wish it would have included replacing the bad joists since that directly affected their ability to raise the house all the way.

I have used this company twice, about six years apart, for problems with my home’s foundation. The first time was in 2017, as a result of the drought. The second was in 2023. My home has a finished basement living area and I was experiencing cracks and shifting, affecting both floors of my home. AFS employs knowledgeable and experienced personnel. The initial inspections and diagnoses, the crews who performed the work, and the follow-up care are all performed by expert personnel. I am very happy with this Company, and my results.

Groundworks provided an encapsulation of the crawl space beneath our townhouse. It involved water seal and foam board for the walls and floor. We'd had similar work done a couple years ago and we were very unhappy with the results. Though Groundworks had a higher quote, some of which was the removal of materials from the previous company's efforts, the end result is great and so far we feel it's been worth every penny. Following the initial work, we've had a couple minor issues, and we're pleased to say the company addressed them effectively and efficiently, responding with a crew within 48 hours of our telling them about the problem. Their office person (Michele) did a great job of coordinating their field people and made doing business with the company a pleasant experience. We're in our late 70's so touring crawlspaces is not on our bucket list – the Groundworks people were happy to provide pictures of what they were doing or had done throughout the job. We're very pleased with the service and the courtesy of their people. Special thanks to Antonio. A cautionary note about highly negative reviews on Yelp and elsewhere. Before you take those reviews seriously, check the reviewer's profile and see if during their entire lifespan on Yelp they have ever, ever, ever written a positive review about anything. If all they write are negative reviews, they're actually telling you more about themselves than they are telling you about the company they're reviewing. Just sayin'.

So far so good. Robert W. and his crew members Sergio R. and Josh N. were great. Showed up, worked hard, did good work on a complex foundation job addressing basement and crawlspace foundation issues as well as installing additional supports that should have been put in place by the builder over 10 yrs ago. Very happy with the knowledge and professionalism displayed. Communicated very well. I look forward to their next visit to see how things are settling into place with the new supports.
