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’m so glad that I called Groundworks! I had a situation where I was pretty sure that there was a ground spring in my basement. I met with Mitch and he went through a lot of evaluation with me. We carefully looked at some options and agreed on a fair price for a sump pump installation. When the crew David, Kevin and David arrived And began to explore further into the wall before commencing the project, we discovered that it was not a ground spring at all. In fact, it was a leaky drain pipe. A less than reputable Company would have installed the sump pump, unnecessarily and build me for the work. The Forman, David Instead pulled me aside and explained exactly what was going on. We stopped work and pivoted in the correct direction which will ultimately save me money and preserve the aesthetics of my finished basement. Thanks again to the high integrity team at Groudworks!

Mount Valley encapsulated my crawl space a few months ago and I couldn’t be more happy. CFI Devon showed me the issues with my crawlspace and quoted an affordable solution to the problem. He was very pleasant and I recommend him to anyone have the same mold/mildew issues in their crawlspace. Jayden and Adam Dalgard did an amazing job installing the work. They need raises.

They came, they saw, they conquered my crawl space! Bob was awesome—super friendly, professional, and quick to respond. The guys were polite & worked efficiently. It was a tight squeeze. It wasn’t the cheapest option, but the work was top quality and totally worth it. The financing made it easy, too. What a relief to have the crawl space encapsulated knowing that the humidity & air will be controlled. Highly recommend Baker’s Waterproofing!

We just finished our waterproofing installation. WOW! Miguel A did an outstanding job leading Luis S and Gerso G. They were amazing installers! They were kind and polite and helpful. They cared about my belongings in the basement. They did a lot of hard work in one day to be ready for the city inspector the next morning. They cemented and cleaned up the next afternoon. A lot of good work was accomplished timely due to their dedication. Miguel also did an excellent job communicating with me about the job itself, how the system & sump pump work, and maintenance. They are a top notch crew! Thank you!!!!

Tori and Chris are top shelf, hard-working, personable, perfectionists, who don’t settle for “good enough.” They explained what they would do to lift my sidewalk and driveway, how their product works, and left my property cleaner than they found it. They took time to show me what they were doing as they were working and patiently answered my questions. Their work was exceptional and my driveway and sidewalk look great! I couldn’t be more pleased. Alpha Foundations has at least two guys who are fantastic at what they do.
