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 had a rent house come vacant and am in process of doing some repairs to get it ready to sell. I noticed some cracks in the stemwall on one side of the house. I contacted Groundworks to inspect it. A gentleman named Dylan came by and did a thorough inspection and gave me a proposal for peering the wall. I signed a contract and gave him a deposit. The next day he called me to inform me that it would be over two months out. I told him I had a problem with the timeline and he said he would see if anything could be done to shorten the lead time. In the meantime I contacted another company and they said they could do the work quickly and gave me a quote. Groundworks came back with a start date much quicker. The other company's proposal was much cheaper. Groundworks warranty and quality of product is very impressive but since I am selling the property keeping the cost down I important. If it were going to be my long term home I would have gone with them. The other company I chose was highly recommended. I would give Groundworks a 5 star rating. They are great to work with.

Excellent experience with FRS! Forman Mike Williams & his crew, Co Forman, Kanen Carlson & Installer, Gavin Bonar finished my foundation project ahead of schedule! I was nervous about this project but my nerves were eased right away. They were all very informative and explained to me what they were doing. All were very approachable with all my questions. They worked hard and knew their stuff. Mike took extra care with excavating and even avoided 2 little hostas i hadnt been able to dig up & move. Chet, the Inspector was excellent as well. Great crew & great company!

JES hooked us up. We had some complications with foundation repair and waterproofing with the way our basement/stairs were oriented, but Rafael Garcia, Jose Lovato, and Wilton Mendoza went above and beyond working around our stairs and getting the job done. What could have been an expensive workaround and follow up job was skillfully averted saving us a lot of heartache and money. I was at away for most of the job, but Jose and Rafael were great about communicating the progress and work to be done. These guys were great — would definitely recommend!!

Seth, Noah and Emani were the last crew who insulted my floorboards and installed ten jacks, completing the encapsulation of my 1924 Chincoteague Island home with a limited height crawl space. Each crew during the transformation of repairing my foundation was professional, hardworking and highly skilled workers. The five years, transferable, of adjusting the foundation is another plus for the company. Thanks JES.

My husband and I had been fighting with D. R. Horton for over 3 years to fix the foundation in our new home they sold us 4 years ago. AquaGuard was recommended my our structural engineer as a viable solution to our problem. Adrian Haynes, Field Representative, came to our house and professional analyzed our foundation issues and gave us a solution to stabilized it against future drift. Based upon his detailed analysis their engineers drafted a blueprint, set a date for repairs and acquired the appropriate approvals from the proper government agencies. The repair work was expertly completed by Audiel Soria (Crew chief) and his experienced team in two half days. With the exception of 4 small concrete patches there was little evidence that they had been here at all. Steve and I highly recommend AquaGuard

I am very pleased with the service of Mount Valley foundations. My service men who are: William Cheek, Rashad Hayward and Aveion Jacobs did an excellent job. When they arrived here exactly on the time that they said they were going to be here I felt confident this was going to be a good experience. Mr. Cheek communicated with me throughout the whole process. After about 4 hours they were completed. He came inside my house and made sure everything was level as well as cleaned up their mess outside. He was very courteous and answered any questions that I had. If I have any other problems again, I will call Mount valley foundations.

Review of AFS and Foreman Nick Bohal – The Best in Polyurethane Concrete Lifting I recently had the opportunity to work with AFS and their exceptional polyurethane concrete lifting foreman, Nick Bohal. From the moment I reached out to the company, I was impressed by their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. AFS specializes in lifting and stabilizing concrete surfaces, and their expertise truly shines through in every project. Whether it's driveways, sidewalks, or pool decks, AFS has the tools and experience to restore concrete back to its original placement. Nick embodied this commitment with his extensive knowledge of polyurethane lifting techniques, ensuring that every job met AFS's high standards. What I appreciated most about working with AFS was their focus on quality assurance. Nick took great care to fully stabilize the concrete and prevent any future issues. His meticulous approach gave me confidence in the work being done, knowing that AFS prioritizes long-lasting results. Communication is another key strength of AFS. Nick was always available to answer my questions and update me on the progress of the project. His friendly demeanor made the entire experience pleasant, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about the customers and the quality of the work.

I had a great overall experience with Groundworks. When Chris came out to inspect my foundation he was super knowledgeable and honest about the condition both good and bad. He was super receptive to concerns and even made multiple trips out to my house to explain the process and make a plan that would work even though some of the spaces were non-ideal. Once we decided to go ahead with the project, Brogan, Aaron, and Caden were an awesome crew to have onsite. They were very respectful of my property and were fun to have around. They never hesitated to show me what they were doing or let me watch them work. They worked quick and had my project done in a timely manner. Once the work was complete they cleaned everything up and left my house in the same or often better condition than they found it. I would absolutely recommend Groundworks to anyone who has foundation concerns.
