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.

I had an amazing experience working with Josh W., Chris P. And Jimmy M. on my project. I had some downspouts extended and a humidifier installed in the basement of our house. The downspouts were installed flawlessly and are now providing us peace of mind when the next rain comes. There was a bit of a miscommunication initially with the humidifier, but Josh worked with me to come up with a solid solution and plan for that, providing requirements and options for the install. The end result is that the humidifier is installed in a way that is flexible and properly hides the various tubing and cables that are needed. I would definitely work with this crew again should we need them for anything in the future.

Mike Drebes was fantastic! He came out to assess our sinking back patio and cracks there and in our (also sinking) driveway, walkway, and threshold. He explained well but succinctly what was leading to the issues and the available solutions on the market and how their polymer system was the best and permanent solution, as opposed to a quick fix. Mike worked diligently to get perfect measurements and also took a look at our foundation from the basement to assure us that we didn’t need to pay for more than we actually needed. Talk to Mike Drebes if you need anything regarding foundation/cracks in surrounding concrete slabs/sinking soil.

We have George Knox come out to give us a quote on having our sidewalk and driveway lifted. He worked closely with us to secure a solution within our price range, and was very kind. Just now Gavin Dendy and Jonathan Alvarez completed the lifting and crack sealing of our driveway! Unfortunately a portion of the sidewalk could not be saved. But they did everything to give me options to solve the problem. I am very pleased with the service, pleased with the price, and would recommend This team completely!

Our service technician Denis Goncharov was excellent. Kept in constant communication before arriving to ensure we knew exactly when he would arrive, we had our sump pump annual service and inspection. He did a great job with this task. Additionally he also checked the radon levels in our home and we discovered that we are a little high which can be bad for your health. He explained what can be done about this and even provided an estimate on how much this would cost to remedy. We were very glad to receive this information. Very personable and great service!!

I am very pleased with the service received from Tar Hill Basement and the outstanding job done by Service Tech Josh Lichtenberger. I was very pleased with this young man's professionalism, ability and customer care. He very efficiently diagnosed the problems with my sump pump and dehumidifier. He then proceeded to clean and replace/update or repair old or worn out parts. I asked a trillion questions and he very patiently explained to me my system(s) and how they worked. His commitment to go the extra mile is much appreciated. I highly recommended the company, the equipment and the service tech.

Brent, Quion and Adam showed up on time. From the start they explained what they are going to do, how they will do it and how long it will take. They went over the scope of work and allowed time for questions. They were very professional. Answered all my questions.They did their job and cleaned up afterwards. They were considered of my property and asked if anything can be moved out of the way if needed . I recommend this company. And in sales phase Jason and Jacob did great job of explaining what type of work they can provide and stayed in contact throughout until execution time. Groundworks did foundation stabilization for my townhome.
