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.

They came, they saw, they conquered my crawl space! Bob was awesome—super friendly, professional, and quick to respond. The guys were polite & worked efficiently. It was a tight squeeze. It wasn’t the cheapest option, but the work was top quality and totally worth it. The financing made it easy, too. What a relief to have the crawl space encapsulated knowing that the humidity & air will be controlled. Highly recommend Baker’s Waterproofing!

Denis Goncharov was the representative that came to our home to do an annual inspection. We changed out the sump pump to a higher quality one that has more safety features. We recently had all the piping changed in the home to Pex due to a broken water line . So we appreciate the intellectual experience from Denis to avoid any future water issues. If you haven’t tested your house for Radon levels please do as it can cause lung cancer if the ratings under the foundation are high . Denis checked this home and it was good but we have others that need a mitigation system that we are addressing now with Denis from Ground works ! Thanks 🙏 again Denis

I recently had foundation work done on my home by Foundation Recovery Systems, and I cannot say enough good things about the crew that handled the job—JT, Nez, and Luke. From start to finish, they exceeded every expectation I had. They were professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each step of the process in detail. What stood out the most was their willingness to let me observe and ask questions along the way. Not only did they do excellent work, but they also made the experience stress-free and even enjoyable with their friendly and approachable attitudes. It’s clear that they take great pride in what they do, and it shows in both their workmanship and customer service. If you’re looking for a team that is skilled, respectful, and truly cares about their work, I highly recommend Foundation Recovery Systems—and especially JT, Nez, and Luke. Their professionalism, expertise, and outstanding customer service made this an exceptional experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew or company to handle my foundation work!

Hats off to Blake, Arnold, Yoni and team leader Ricardo for doing an awesome job installing our perimeter drain system, sub pumps, and wall moisture barrier. They were knowledgeable, talented, and professional. They showed up on time every day and kept us in the communication loop. Looking forward to having a dry basement in the 50 year old house that we bought last summer. Our sales consultant, Rob L., was also a wealth of information and helped us find an affordable solution to our water issue. We definitely would recommend the Huntsville office of AFS to others!
