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.

It was a big job to level our sidewalk, but Rob and Trevor handled it like the pros they are. Plus, they both started and finished ahead of schedule, and they even paused working to move the truck when the street sweepers finally came by. Above and beyond. Thank you Groundworks!

We recently had Denis (Service Technician) to our home to have yearly servicing completed. He was awesome! He was very thorough with both cleaning and testing the entire system and explained everything he was doing. We told him we had only purchased this home 21 months and were not familiar with this type of system. He took the time and opportunity to explain the system we have and the weeping system in the foundation, which we really appreciated. He was friendly, professional, efficient and very knowledgeable. Thank you Denis! The Boyd"s

Jeff Garber from Groundworks/Underpinning was AMAZING! Let me just start off by saying, we did not pay anything for our walkthrough/inspection. I've been a realtor for 18 years but this was for our personal property in Walnut Creek and I was extremely worried we were going to hear from Jeff that we need to do six figures worth of work. We have experienced some shifting in our floors, walls, thresholds and I was CONVINCED we needed major repairs. However, Jeff brought us a huge sense of relief by not only telling us we didn't need any major repairs and what we were experiencing was normal for our age home. From my extensive experience working with vendors, they almost always push some sort of work, unnecessary or necessary. I can't thank Jeff enough for his honest evaluation and helping me sleep at night again after 2 years of what felt like constant worry. It just goes to show, there are still good people with values out there. And, I can tell you when that time does come, he will be our first call!!! Jeff thank you for your true professionalism!!

The crew that came to my home to install our system consisted of George, Russell, Cade, and Micah. They got the entire job done in one long day and they were great in every aspect. It began with a tutorial on what they would do and how the system will work. They kept me updated throughout the day on their progress. When finished they cleaned up better than I expected. George, the foreman, was especially patient and understanding when we discussed a discrepancy in the cost as the estimator that visited our home earlier, Gage, had made a mistake in the estimate. George helped me work that out so we could proceed. Although not all that happy with Gage, I highly recommend Groundworks and their excellent crew.
