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 excellent experience with Groundworks for the concrete lifting work they completed on my front sidewalk. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. Alex Young and Matt Wertz were outstanding — they arrived on time, explained every step of the process clearly, and made sure I understood exactly what was being done and why. Their professionalism and attention to detail really stood out. The job was completed quickly without sacrificing quality, and the results look fantastic. They also took the time to thoroughly clean up the work area before leaving, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Groundworks to anyone needing concrete lifting or foundation services. Great team, great communication, and excellent results!

Alpha Foundations is an excellent company. Tory Foster arrived at our home to lift up the sinking steps of our front porch and also repair the adjacent concrete. He kept us informed about the process, left the work area very tidy, and did a great job with the repair. I highly recommend this company.

DryPro came out and installed a permanent solution to a damp corner in our basement. We had a very positive experience from start to finish. Chris gave us a reasonable quote after carefully inspecting our problem inside and out. Everything was explained thoroughly and we were never pressured into making an immediate decision. Once we opted to accept their proposal, the work was scheduled in a very timely manner. Everyone showed up on time and our work was done in a matter of hours. Oscar, Paulino, and Bryant were very professional, worked non-stop, and did an excellent job. They did not leave until they made sure we had no questions, were pleased with their work, and our property was left in good order. We highly recommend DryPro and appreciate the personal service everyone gave us. J & R Douglas

Charles and Alberto installed 8 jacks to our home. They did a great job. Both were very courteous and professional. At first I thought Charles was the foreman. He communicated with us every step of the way and was very professional He even notified us of a leak under the house that we didn’t know of. That was much appreciated. Charles should be a foreman someday he has all the skills to be successful. Thanks

I can’t say enough good things about Tyrell and Bob from Groundworks! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking. They installed a new drainage system in my basement, and the quality of their work truly exceeded my expectations. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable with the process. Tyrell and Bob were respectful of my home, kept the workspace clean, and completed the project on time. Thanks to them, I finally have peace of mind knowing my basement is protected. I highly recommend Tyrell, Bob, and the entire Groundworks team — you won’t be disappointed!
