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 called Groundworks to check on a crawlspace issue. Cutie Jim Beatty came for free estimate on my concerns. This guy is a tremendous representative for his company. He did a thorough inspection outside and in my dirty crawlspace. After completion of that part of the process- which was thoroughly explained- he clued us into his immediate findings. Then, he presented a detailed-filled explanation of every concern. His presentation was informative, professional and covered so much more about the process than I expected from most other companies I've dealt with. Because of Jim I wouldn't go with any other company for this project! What a guy!

Rob L. of AFS was easy to work with and very patient to explain the issues with my crawlspace and the proposal to repair it to best suit my needs. He texted me on several occasions to setup the time of the inspection and arrived on time as he promised. I appreciate Rob's patience with me, and he made sure I had all my questions answered and that I understood the proposal. I really appreciated his courtesy and professionalism.

Very professional and very through, additional cleanuptime to explain the process as they were going along.. The team did a bit more and I did sign a waiver. The finished product was what I expected and there was no additional clean up that I had to do.

Blake Snidow came by today to do an inspection within the crawlspace. He took a ton of pictures and was very transparent with us. Told us exactly what we need to do and exactly why. We are not ready to move forward right now but when we are ready to address the crawlspace we will definitely be going with JES.

Matthew and John were exceptional. They did an outstanding job in no time at all. They were friendly and professional, showed up when they said they would, and left everything nice and clean. We spoke to Neal in the beginning who priced it for us and set up our appointment. He's a super nice guy, easy to work with. Would highly recommend AFS to everyone!

I had an exceptional experience with James Headlee from Groundworks. From the moment he arrived, his professionalism and efficiency were evident. James performed a incredibly in-depth inspection of both our home’s exterior and the crawl space, leaving no stone unturned. What really set James apart was his transparency. He took the time to show us his measurement tools, explaining exactly how they work and what the readings meant for our home’s health. He provided a thorough explanation of his findings, supported by plenty of photos, and gave us ample space to ask questions without ever feeling rushed. If you want an inspector who combines technical expertise with genuine patient communication, ask for James.

Today marks the 2nd time I've used AFS. I was very pleased with their results the 1st time but this time was way beyond that experience. This crew (Nikoli E., Caleb B., and Christian P.) worked well together like a smooth performing machine. I was amazed at how well and how quickly they got things done. They took the time to explain what and why they were doing things and encouraged me in asking questions. I really appreciate what these guys did!
