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 a humidity problem in our crawlspace. Drypro cleaned it up, encapsulated it and installed a dehumidifier and triple pump system. The crew foreman was Gerber and Kyrie was helping along with another young man. Gerber and Kyrie did a great job explaining what they were doing each day and keeping me updated. The crew worked so hard. They were going non stop. So often you will see workers goofing off, talking on their phones, etc. Not this crew. They were incredibly hardworking and always very professional. I was impressed with their work ethic. They are expensive but I have learned the hard way in the past that you get what you pay for. I am happy with my decision to go with Drypro.

Zack, Landon and Rubin showed up on time. They introduced themselves and explained what they would be doing. Of course there was lots of banging but luckily I don’t have a dog that would be stressed by the noise. They completed their job and came to tell me their progress. Although I was here alone I still felt safe due to their gentle nature. The house is 101 years old and due to their work it might last another hundred years.

This is the 2nd project Alpha Foundation has done for me. I am very pleased with their work and how they left the work area. Clint and Hunter arrived ahead of schedule (yay!), were very communicative, professional and worked diligently. At the end, they explained the process of the work they did. I would recommend Alpha Foundation (Clint and Hunter) for your foundation/crawl space needs.

We had a couple guys come out to quote foundation issues and encapsulation. Mount Valley was amazing from start to finish. They guys are extremely polite and professional. They went out of their way to complete the job on time even when a member got sick the guy, Justin and Messian came through to finish the job on schedule. These gentleman showed us a leak and looked throughout the home to check anywhere else. They buttoned up the crawlspace and gave us instructions for the dehumidifier. Also the project manager was on site and helped us get the dips out of the floor several times to satisfaction. Great group and people and would highly recommend.

When everything goes right, it’s easy to get 5/5 stars. But the place really proves itself when things start rocky. I would give 6 stars specifically to the management team, if I could. We just finished the job of leveling and resealing our concrete pool deck. The result is even better than I dared to imagine. NICK and his crew did an outstanding job and cared for every detail. Extremely happy with our pick and based on the interaction so far I KNOW that if something comes up down the line, they will not let me down. Engage with confidence, whatever they charge, they are worth it.

We had a leaning retaining wall by our walkout basement. We were very concerned that it might fall over and was no longer stable. I called Indiana Foundation Service and got a representative out the next week. He went over the issue and the solution thoroughly with me. We signed the contract and a month later we had some awesome workers come out to our house. Charles, Brandon, and Kyle worked 2 days to dig, brace, and make sure our wall was level/plum. I cannot recommend this company and this crew enough! We were completely satisfied with the outcome and the whole process. If you have any foundation or structural issues, do yourself a favor and call Indiana Foundation Service.

I was really impressed with Gabe who came to inspect the crawl space under our house. He was respectful, professional and kind. He did a thorough inspection, showed me the photos and explained his evaluation of it. Luckily we don't need to take action right now but if and when we do, I know who I will call.

After water issues with our basement became apparent with the recent heavy rains, Foundation Recovery was one of the first places my husband and I called to get a quote. We had an incredibly thorough appointment with Justin Sheehan today and he went over everything we could think of and so many things we didn’t think of! We were presented with information on the company, why basements get water typically, and what solutions would work best for our situation. Everything was thorough and thought out with care. No stone was left unturned! We are absolutely grateful to Justin for the time he spent with us and our basement/foundation issues.
