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.

Once the permit was approved, Groundworks was eager to get started. Fortunately, we had a pretty dry January. I am glad that the crew finished the work in under four weeks (single level home, 1333 square feet, with a challenging crawl space). The foreman, Estevan Jimenez, managed the crew, morning to night. A variety of skilled workers contributed, including a lot of soil management. Some extra features were added as they were needed, like french drains along the interior perimeter. No pipes were broken, some cracks appeared, as expected, and many of the doors work better than before. I feel confident that we have a good chance of preserving this old house for many years to come.

Couldn't be happier with the project quality and communication from the workers on sight. The crawl space encapsulation looked very meticulously combed over and done with care and skill, the drain lines dug outside were also done with superb quality but the highlight of the project was without a doubt the workers. Reed Norvell, Charles Simmons, and Darin Harris were incredible workers that were extremely polite and transparent about the state of the job as they relayed regular updates. They were all hospitable, and great at making sure we actively understood what was going on every step of the way not to mention how pleasent and enjoyable they were to talk to. Even with a project this vital and expensive it's really the quality of the people and how much you can tell they're putting in that make it a great job and these three workers were truly great, really couldn't ask for more.

Today I had an appointment with Jordan from AFS. I had some problem with my crawl space and I needed to know what it was and how much it would cost to fix it. Jordan looked at the rotted subfloor and the mold growing under the flooring. He examined the crawlspace and took several pictures of what he found. We sat down and through conversation, videos and pictures he explained exactly what he found and what caused it. Jordan then laid out the options, costs and his recommendation for remediation. I was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and excellent interpersonal skills. If you are in need of foundation/crawlspace work, I highly recommend contacting AFS for a free consultation and quote.

We just bought a house, and literally every single metal pier in the crawlspace was rusted out. Bay Are Underpinning came in and did an awesome job. Their inspector Aaron was super thorough in assessing the damage and explained everything in detail. Then, the repair crew of Eric, Jesus, and Andrew came in and knocked out the entire job in a day — a huge relief considering we had a ton of other work we need to get done before moving in. The work is not cheap, but they offer financing options and stand by their work, so I feel very good about the entire job.

Zach and his crew of Jacob and Keith showed up ready to work and worked without a break for about 5 hours (when the project was complete). Zach confirmed everything they were going to do that the salesman, Rick, had set up. He walked me thru each step and when the project was complete, we went back over each area to make sure I was happy.

James from Groundworks came over to my property to perform an inspection. We had observed some cracks in the walls and were concerned. James was professional and thorough in his inspection. He gave detailed explanations of his process and reasoning from an engineering perspective. The inspection itself was performed for free and James advised us that there were no concerns and no work was recommended.

I was very fortunate to call Mount Valley foundation services to repair our dehumidifier in our basement. The diagnosis and service provided by Scott Berger the technician was over the top. He knows his stuff very well. He not only repaired the issue, but was able to check on the warranty and replace the unit at no cost to me. Definitely recommend these guys.

The experience over all was great. Had a few small bumps in the road. A few things were left off of the work order and scheduling was kind of slow with the electrician. My salesman, Blake took care of it all and made it right. As for the installation crew, Cesar and his crew were amazing!!! Cesar was the one that noticed the mistake in the order and was trying to get it resolved prior to coming out, but he was having trouble getting in touch with the salesman Blake for some reason, he would not answer his phone call. Once he finally got Blake on the phone, which I had to call from my number, they worked it all out. Cesar and his crew took the time to be careful of all the plants in the flower beds. They dug up the rose bushes and replanted them when they were done. Also put down plywood to save the grass. Cesar kept apologizing for the mistake in the work order, I assured him that it wasn’t his fault. Blake did apologize but his communication could be better. He did resolve the error and I’m very grateful. But a special shout out to Cesar and his crew Miguel, Luciano, and Jerman!! They were great. When they cleaned everything up, it looked better than it did when they got there. Your install crew taking the time to acknowledge my frustration and being so kind really made the difference. Great job guys!!!

I recently had an issue with dripping water in my basement and the service from Groundworks was outstanding. Kenny Melford was the person who did the inspection and the work. Kenny was exceptional from start to finish – he explained everything he did, was very pleasant, and was very efficient. I'd highly recommend Groundworks and ask for Kenny if you're in their New Jersey service area.

I can't speak highly enough about Groundworks. I had a complicated crawlspace problem, including water intrusion. I got several proposals from different companies and individual contractors. Groundworks's proposal wasn't the cheapest, but it was the best. Their drainage and sump pump system has finally fixed my problem. The whole crew was super professional and skilled, and I want especially to commend Corey Meyers who went above and beyond the normal call of duty to ensure that every aspect of the work was done to my satisfaction.
