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 can't say enough good things about Jonathan and his team. After a home fire a few months ago, money was tight, and I explained my situation to Jonathan. He was incredibly understanding and gave me several affordable options, which meant a lot during such a stressful time. We had rain coming soon, and I was worried about ruining the brand‑new carpet we had just installed. They got us scheduled quickly and finished the job before the next big storm. It poured the very next day, and thanks to their work, we had zero flooding — and still don't to this day. From the first visit to the final cleanup, the crew was professional, efficient, and kind. I'm extremely satisfied and highly recommend Jonathan and his team. They did an amazing job from start to finish. Five stars all the way.

We hired Ohio Basement Authority to waterproof and dry out a damp cellar/basement at a historic home of ours. The stone walls and mortar were slowly crumbling. They inspected the foundation, explained all options to us, and completed the entire project in just 2 days. Everyone was very professional and easy to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing similar services. Will use again in the future.

Our 40 year old pool deck needed stabilization and some minor lifting. Lance did a great job with the estimate and explaining the process. Tory and Blake came out and got the job done in a timely manner and cleaned up afterwards like they were never even there. I would recommend Alpha Foundations.

I would rate 5/5 for Doug C. from Indiana Foundation Service, and he was outstanding. He inspected our house from inside and outside, and came up a list of logical suggestions and solutions, based on his expertise on structural engineering. He explained these solutions very well, and it was easy to understand for layperson like me. He was very thorough, and pinpointed small details that several representatives from other companies failed to notice. He was very patient in answering questions and hearing concerns that we had about the house. Overall I highly recommend Doug C.

Blake did a fantastic job! Very courteous and professional. The result of the Polyrenewal system is already showing through and gives us the reassurance that we made the right call! Thank you Blake for the nice job you did, DJ for working with us through the contract, and Michael in Jacksonville for taking the time to talk to me twice about our slab issues and your honesty. Integrity is clearly a part of the culture at Alpha Foundations.

I had contacted Bakers because of some issues we had with water in the basement. They had sent over Cale, Shay, and Greg. They were all very thorough and explained everything that would be happening. They kept me informed throughout the process and were able to resolve the issues I was experiencing. They did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend this company if you need some water proofing done!
