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.

The entire inspection process with Alpha Foundations was great and the crawlspace encapsulation results were even better. TJ performed the initial inspection and quote. He was extremely thorough, patient, and answered all my questions. He ensured I understood the benefits of their different options and set clear expectations and scope of work. Never pushy and very easy to work and communicate with. Ben, Nick, and Chris were the crew who came to do the encapsulation. Hats off to them because I couldn't imagine doing what they did as thoroughly in such a cramped space. I was doubtful they could knock it out in the estimated two and a half days – but they did. They were fantastic and were always happy to answer my questions throughout the process. Overall a 10/10 experience. I am thrilled with the results and can rest easy knowing I've taken a big step in protecting and improving my home.

I highly recommend Chase! He went above and beyond with his inspection and made sure I understood not only the solutions available to me but even taught me about how foundations of homes are built – which I didn’t know too much about considering my house was built in the late 1800s. He was able to help me with finding a solution to my concerns and I trust that my house will be in good hands.

Groundworks did a great job, lifting our porch and sidewalks, and replacing our buried downspout line. Ryan Fanning was extremely helpful in assessing our issues, and formulating our project plan. Andres Martinez and Mariano Puchilla arrived promptly, walked us through the work plan, and got straight to work. All were very professional, knowledgeable, and delivered top- notch service.

The AFS team did a great job, and did everything they promised. Dustin worked diligently with me to be sure the contract specified the things I wanted. Nathan, Ben, and Tyler worked continuously to ensure each task was completed until the entire job was complete, and once done they made sure everything was cleaned up. They were professional, pleasant, even cheerful while working, What a nice surprise.

Excellent service. Bob Liga took his time to insoect inside and outside. Discussed in detail. Water issue and tge previous 8,000.00 job did nothing to correct it. Advised never appropriate for correcting my problems. Bob has given me several ideas and prommised to help in anyway he could. Just him educating us and giving ideas is all I can ask for. As the owner of keystone basement had already told me it was not a job for his company yet offered his service for a job that was not needed. Keystone offered a dry basement for 8,000. But still I'm suffering with water in my basement. My full review on poor service for Keystone Basement is posted on the Keystone Basements site. Beware where you go. Beware of Keystone Basement get everything in writing. Hold them accountable for a dry basement that they advertise. I regret ever calling them and being taken in by the nice sales rep that promise to resolve my water damage knowing with my disability I couldn't keep track of their work. Beware of Keystone Basement promises!!

I had work done today by Groundworks foundation Repair… "The Groundworks crew came to my house today & was tasked with addressing a what we thought would be a very small square‑foot area; through out the home! However, the underlying voids, of recent plumbing repairs, created tunnel voids far more extensive than anticipated. What was expected to be a 2-hour project quickly evolved into a 7-hour undertaking. Despite the challenges, Aaron remained determined, professional, and calm! Even after working through a 1/2 barrell, they had to attach a second red barrel, in order to get the job finished. Aaron's & Laz's commitment to completing the job, never wavered. Even though I knew they were hungry and tired, because the job ran into the night (evening). His work ethic & Goal was a happy, satisfied customer! The team continued to push forward and even assisted me with 2 additional areas throughout my home, where my door Jams were off Center, not Level! Laz played a crucial role as well, maintaining a calm and supportive presence that helped keep the entire process steady and focused. Throughout the project, the three of us built a genuine rapport—one that I believe will last well beyond this job. If Aaron ever needs anything from me, whether support or advice, he knows he can reach out. And I know I can do the same. Their work today, staying with me on a difficult job, made me a lifetime customer, and one who will give this company a Great recommendation due to these type of employees they had at my home today! Thanks you Aaron & Lazy for staying with me, even though you were very tired, all of us were! Your diligence paid off! My home is stable once more, Also, my wife is very happy too with your work, her bathroom is final stable again & level!" Thanks for your great service, Tim & Sindy Nations

Charlie was very thorough with his inspection. He walked us through the whole process. He not only told us what our problems was but also showed us. He was very patient when we asked questions. He also not only wanted to get rid of the mold but fix the problem causing the mold and moisture. He also came up with a solution to fix the foundation problems that I have

We recently utilized the services of this company to stabilize our foundation with work done inside the basement. The initial contact to give us an overview of work needed and an estimate of repair was done by Nathan Heidenfelder, who spent a lot of time explaining everything and answering our questions. Our work crew consisted of Travis Clark (crew leader–phenomenal), Brian Eskridge, Justin Geigling, Tyler Davies, and this was a hard-working crew! Tyler called every morning to say they were on there way; they always showed up on time and were professional and courteous. They covered surfaces ahead of time, to minimize all the dust, and cleaned up the works site after the job was finished. It wasn't an expense we had counted on, and it was not a small amount, but as my husband likes to say-'you get what you pay for'. Would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone needing their services. One company we contacted for an estimate–Woods Basement Services–didn't even return our call…..
