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.

The salesman Justin Sheehan was excellent. He answered all my questions and was very thorough in his inspection of my settlement problems. He offered multiple options for my budgeting. The work is scheduled for several weeks from now, and I'll leave another review after that.

Chris Trevitz was at my house today for a maintenance visit, and my gosh, was he ever great! He was cheerful, considerate, helpful and so personable. He really knows his stuff, and answered every question I had with amazing patience. He took the filter out of my dehumidifier, replaced it after I cleaned it, and wouldn't accept a tip. Then as he was leaving he noticed that my doorknob was loose and needed tightening, and fixed it for me! What a kind soul. A gentle giant who blessed me today with his help and a big smile! High five! One of a kind 😇

I had the pleasure of having Foreman Aaron Flowers, Co-Foreman Elijah Bargas and Installer Carlos Burciaga come to my home and insulate my crawl space. They did a great job and was respectful of my property. My crawl space is now more level, clean and warmer. I would highly recommend this crew with groundworks.

I need to apologize to Gavin and Jonathan for not writting this review soon enough, I simply got tied up and forgot until I found the review form. I do hope they can still win any company benefits because they were the best workings I have talked to in a ling time. Informative of the steps, respectful and careful of my property and of course doing the job quicker than I could get pictures of it. And unfortunately I cant recall the Project Managers name, but his card is here on my desk somewhere, and he was very helpful on working with me on raising my porch. A previous company told me they had a minimal cost of $1,500 for the foam injections, where AFS did the whole job for a little over that amount as they do so much, they have no minimal charge. He also told me the 3 jacks I had been quoted by other services was not needed (I knew that, but he confirmed my knowledge and earned my respect by telling me the truth). So hopefully all 3 will win any company benefits for this, I very seldom give 5 stars, only when a company fully exceeds my expectations. At least now I do not have to worry about my porch falling into the abyss.

Jacob, Quinton and Gabe did a great job with my house. They stopped the sinkage of my foundation and were quick and responsible with their work. They even did an above-decent job with returning my outside landscaping to the same look as before (a load of gravel is really all that is needed to fix it up). I had a problem job in that I have in floor heating, but they cleaned everything up well so I can get the appropriate people in to finish that. Just know that you may need some additional work done afterwards to get your outside space or your basement back in order. Overall, I’m really happy with the work and I’m glad that I will not have any more cracks in the walls or tiles… my house is fixed and I’m so relieved!

The waterproofing system the JES guys (Antwan, Brandon and Shawn) installed for us is A#1. The guys worked their butts off and kept me up to date on what was going on with the project. From the beginning of the project, Celeste explained the entire sequence of events during the sales stage and kept in touch as the job went along from leveling the cement patio and sidewalk, removing the cement flooring, installing stones, tracking and sump pump discharge line. Excellent job everyone.

I want to recognize Greg Johnson for several reasons. Greg was the inspector who looked at my home due to several concerns we had with our crawl space, home foundation, and water issues in the basement. I walked in expecting standard “cliche” sales tactics from this company knowing how big they are. Instead, I walked out truly knowing my home. I wish I brought Greg to my home inspection lol. He was knowledgeable (extremely knowledgeable), was extremely objective of what I needed and what I didn't need. He was forthcoming – you need to do this soon and this can wait. He explained how the homes foundation worked and explained when to be concerned. He even came back the next day to thoroughly check the crawl space when it was light outside. He took detailed photos and explained everything. In todays world of pushy sales people, Greg demonstrated that hes in this business for the right reasons. I hope his senior leadership group all the way up to corporate headquarters see this message and can recognize Greg.

We've had many projects completed by Aquaguard and I'm always impressed with their thoroughness. Our technician, Mark, did his yearly preventative maintenance on our basement dehumidifier, saved us some money by signing us to a 3 year maintenance plan (we have done and will continue to do yearly maintenance). He then took pictures of our house and made some suggestions that I could fix myself. I recommend Aquaguard for any foundation work.

Wow! What a great company! Unexpectedly, we had water seeping into our basement. Jeff came promptly to look at the situation and worked out a treatment plan on the spot. It was easy to trust his plan because Jeff had knowledgeable answers to all my questions, and took the time to educate me about the issues we were facing. Installers Tosin and Francis arrived within a few days and completed some indoor demolition before knitting together the foundation crack and installing a fine sump pump system. Although they were working in tight quarters, both Tosin and Francis were pleasant and friendly; and knowledgeably answered my continued questions. They cared to make sure I understood the work they were doing and how our new system functioned. Where they had to dig a ditch through the lawn they made a thoughtful repair and even added grass seed – and inside, they did a great job of cleaning up, too. I will enthusiastically recommend Groundworks to our neighbours on either side who have issues similar to ours. We were very impressed – two thumbs up/five stars and two big smiles!
