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.

This is my second project with Groundworks. The first was a crawlspace encapsulation completed in January. This latest one was a complex foundation stabilization and support project for my basement. Groundworks far exceeded my expectations on both projects. The entire Groundworks team from Greg (design engineer) to David, John, Quade, Josh (implementation team) to Lily (scheduling and billing) was professional and courteous. They worked tirelessly to schedule and install my projects expeditiously. They kept me informed every step of the way and followed up to make sure I'm satisfied with the results. Thanks to Groundworks, I now have a beautiful crawlspace and a rock-solid home. I highly recommend them!!!

Adrian from AquaGuard came to inspect our property, as we had suspicion that our foundation was shifting. Not only did he conduct a thorough examination from top to bottom, but he explained exactly how our foundational issues were caused, recommended solutions that were specific to our problem, and informed us as to how the solutions would have longevity for the foreseeable future. Adrian was communicative, knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend working with him and AquaGuard.

Tar Heel Basement Systems helped me after damage from Hurricane Helene. They showed up when scheduled, on time each day and finished when they promised they would. They were extremely professional and communicated with me throughout the entire project. I am very happy with the service and the quality of the work. Nate Griffin, James Passmore, Noe Gomez, Justin Clayton, Billy Noyola, John Reavis and everyone else associated with the project did an excellent job. I have no hesitations in recommending them.
