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.

Over all, everything went well. The job was under estimated. There ended up needing to more additional jacks as the initial estimate did not cover all areas with issues. The guys that performed the work were very nice, professional and courteous while on site. Did great work and resolved the floor issue. The only issue that I did have was the time they arrived to start work. I expected them to begin first thing in the morning's and put in full days of work to complete the project and not fitting in other jobs. The communication of arrival should have been better since I did take off work specifically for this job to be done. I was given a time of arrival and they did not show for several hours later. Again they did excellent work over all. Just need to work on arrival time and communication in my opinion.

The guys at Alpha Foundations did an awesome job on my foundation. They diagnosed the problem and came up with the plan quickly. They were flexible on the schedule, showed up when they were supposed to, were professional and polite, worked quickly, and cleaned up the mess before leaving. I was very happy with the work and have peace of mind that the job was done right! Kudos to Luke, Hunter, and Nic who showed up and made it happen.

This is review of pier work performed by Dakota, Phillip, Jose, and Josh and foam poly work performed by Luke and Anthony. The teams were great. Job started with Dakota, Phillip, Jose and Josh doing the pier work. Dakota walked me through the process and ensured I understood the job at hand. I was kept well informed of progress and challenges considering the extreme cold. Luke and Anthony came out on day 3 to do the foam poly as pier team was finishing stabilizing and Backfilling the piers. Luke again walked me through the process and expectations. He kept me informed on progress. When work was done I had a walk through with each team with explanation of what was performed. Areas that could not be bright back to original were pointed out and the reasons explained. These were also in line with expectations set when original quote was provided. All of the crew members were polite and on task job site was cleaned up. Great crew and met or exceeded my expectations.

The JES team of Antione G, Troy G, and Gerald P. did an outstanding job of making sure my nearly 100 year old basement will never flood again. They were diligent. And LOUDâ ¦ not their fault because jackhammers are loud. They answered all my questions and cleaned up their work area. Plus, and I believe this is really important, they were really nice and friendly. Work hard, do a good job, be kind. They did all that. Thank you so much!

I didn’t actually use services with AFS yet, but when I do, it will be because of Mr. Paul Rice. He was so knowledgeable and honest. I can respect a salesman that comes in and tells me the real truth. This is definitely a professional company. I appreciate them actually answering the phone and then showing up on time to come look at my house.
