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 entryway floor that had been sinking and I honestly didn’t know what to do. I called Groundworks and Chris said if they couldn’t fix it, he would make sure to let me know who could fix it, but they were able to go in and level my floor right back up where it used to be, and they even did some outdoor work for some sinking under my driveway! Chris brought JJ with him and they weren’t pushy at all. They just laid down the facts and the made me feel very secure that I was not being taken advantage of and they did exceptional work! It was quick, it was clean and I was very impressed!

Alpha Foundations was absolutely fantastic to work with. From the sales process to the actual installation, everything was smooth and easy. They spent additional time and effort to address my concerns before and during the installation. Logan’s team was professional and treated my property with care and respect. They were highly organized and it was clear that each crew member was experienced. The job was completed quicker than expected and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I would absolutely recommend them without hesitation. Thanks Alpha team!

David Alvarez… I could not have been more happy that you were the rep from Groundworks to check out my homes issues in regards to crawl spaces. Aside from responding back and forth via text and or phone calls regardless of the day and or hour he was on time, professional, and knowledgeable of more than just the issue I had at hand. I do not write reviews, not that guy, never have been,but for this man, regardless of whether I planned to use the company for the job or not he is more than deserving of a great review. If his company doesn't already know how much of an asset he is I would be shocked. I will be using groundworks for the job and that is because they are a reputable company and the trust that David brings to the table.

Steven, Isaiah and David arrived on time. Steven identified additional stair-step cracks on the side and recommended six additional braces to prevent further slab movement. He helped set up the additional financing through GreenSky. All three worked hard and completed the project in 2 days. Cleanup was good and things looked pretty much like they did before they began.

Fred came out on a miserable day without complaint, explained the inspection process and got to work immediately. He then gave a thorough of his findings and already had recommendations ready to go. Work was performed THE NEXT WEEK by Trent, Darian and Tyler. Encapsulated, the crawlspace, added the floor jacks and lifted the house all in half a day. Would absolutely recommend this crew to anyone with housing issues.
