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.

Groundworks about a month ago (BQ) came out with their team (Steve , Pedro, Tim and Chris) to install a French Drain System…they were an impressive team. Very Professional …and are dialed with their working process. I had pulled up the Asbestos tile and got the basement space ready for them. I was amazed at how much work they were able to complete in the amount of time on the job ! excellent clean up …and quality of work very high…granted the cost to install the French Drain was not inexpensive but definitely a very smart project to finally get completed for the house. I would highly recommend they for their work scope(s)

I highly recommend Groundworks and Deven to anyone that's interested in having their home or business inspected and leveled out. He is a very trustworthy person. Thank you Deven

It has been said that people don't remember what you did, but they remember how you made them feel: I remember both, and when it comes to my experience with Mount Valley Foundation Services, they were both Excellent! Phillip Maultbay (Technician) and Brett (Sales Mgr) are ABSOLUTE GEMS! I have experience as an HR Recruiter and I can tell you that they are BOTH the kinds of employees that ANY COMPANY would love to have on board! They were punctual, professional, knowledgeable, personable, thorough, they answered all of my questions, and they did it all while being KIND!!! Their commitment to, appreciation for, and pride in their organization simply exuded in their conversation, and overview of the organization's history, structure, qualifications, and future goals: in other words, they really LOVE and VALUE their organization, and they represent the organization VERY WELL! In fact, they were so enthusiastic, that if the job didn't involve crawling underneath houses, and the possibility of seeing "critters and varmints," I would be ready to join the Groundworks Team myself! I can only HOPE that the Groundworks/Mount Valley Foundation Organization is aware of the RARE GEMS that they have within your organization: Phillip Maultbay (and Brett) are now like family to me, and when I am ready to have the recommended work completed, I will most assuredly contact Mount Valley to perform the repairs! GREAT JOB GROUNDWORKS/MOUNT VALLEY!!!!

Nick Bohal did an outstanding job. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. He took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done correctly and efficiently. The results were excellent—my concrete is now level, solid, and looks great. The work was clean, precise, and completed on time. It’s clear Nick takes a lot of pride in his craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend asking for Nick Bohal if you need any work done. You won’t be disappointed.

We had Tarheel Basement do some leveling concrete work at our church. They were extremely professional, efficient, and friendly. They also cleaned up when the job was done. I hope I get their names right-Joe and Josh (working in place of Thomas) -did an outstanding job. I would absolutely recommend them!

Our building foundation had settled so I contacted AFS. They sent Josh J who answered all my questions, gave me a quote and was in constant communication with me throughout the job. He provided exceptional service and went above and beyond by giving a video presentation to the HOA board members. If you’re looking for a Team that is experienced, knowledgeable, fast and professional then the installation work done by Tyler C, Abel P and German C should be your first call. Our building’s helical pier installation went smoothly and for the quoted price. Don’t waste time, call these guys!

Groundworks was great to work with. I had a leak in my basement and Jeremy from Groundworks came to my home and clearly explained what they would do. The cost was less than their competitors. Emanuel and Luis installed everything and they were very professional, communicated well, and did an excellent job. Emanuel asked me often if I had any questions and he kept me informed as to all the steps in the process. He and Luis worked diligently all day and were able to complete the project in one day. They tested the sump pump to make sure it worked and a few days after they left, we got rain and I had NO water in my basement. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Groundworks.
