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 installed a sump pump in my 1940's basement then a few months later, encapsulated a crawl space. Both jobs were done professionally and in the time they said it would be done. Having contractors in your home is not easy. These two crews were great. I would highly recommend them to anyone needs this type of work.

I was completely satisfied with the entire process of having a new sump pump with battery back-up installed by Groundworks. Ronald and Remi were both very professional, and courteous when they came to quote the job. And Lucio and the crew were also very professional and courteous. I was impressed with Lucios' experience and workmanship and friendly manner (same for the workers). Lots of attention to detail and they left the worksite completely cleaned up. I was completely happy with the whole job.

Vanessa from the Ohio Basement Authority assessed my basement experiencing water intrusion. She and her colleague spent 2 hours with me discussing the issue and how they would address it. I felt satisfied with their knowledge, expertise, and their sales professionalism. Ultimately we decided to patch the crack with another company, because the Basement Authority’s solution was quite pricey. We plan to call Vanessa and Ohio Basement Authority if the problem persists post patch job.

Daniel Cippone from Groundworks was my service technician during my recent visit, and he was outstanding. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain how my system operates. I needed a new sump pump with a backup, and I really appreciated how Daniel explained the products using videos; it made everything easy to understand. I also purchased one of their air systems, and after only a few days, I can already feel a noticeable difference in my home. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and polite throughout the entire visit. I truly hope to have Daniel Cippone for every future service appointment!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tarheel Basement Systems for a basement waterproofing project, and I felt compelled to share my experience, particularly highlighting the exemplary service provided by Ken Decamp, Michael Thompson, and Stephen Foster, along with my sales representative, Tim Martin. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, the professionalism exhibited by the entire team was remarkable. Ken Decamp, the project foreman, demonstrated exceptional leadership and expertise throughout the process. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that every aspect of the job was executed flawlessly did not go unnoticed. Ken was always available to address any concerns I had and provided clear, concise answers that made me feel confident in the work being done.

He was proactive in addressing my needs and concerns, and his follow-up was consistent and reassuring. Tim truly acted as an advocate for me, ensuring that my interests were prioritized at every stage. In conclusion, my experience with Tarheel Basement Systems has been outstanding, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of Ken Decamp, Michael Thompson, Stephen Foster, and Tim Martin. Their commitment to providing exceptional service is a testament to the values of the company. I highly recommend Tarheel Basement Systems to anyone seeking reliable, professional basement solutions.
