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.

We contacted Tarheel Basement Systems because, despite the fact that our home in Stokesdale was only 2 years old, it had a musty smell and shockingly we were beginning to see some mold spots on and around vents and in closets, including clothes. They sent out a representative (Harlan) promptly, on a Saturday, who inspected the crawl space, took readings of humidity in the wood and the insulation and overall air, took schematics of the crawl space, and plenty of pictures. He discussed the cost and options with us, taking his time, including financing options. He was extremely thorough, and we agreed on the scope of the work and cost. They initiated the project, with Jacob C and Terrence A arriving at our home early in the morning. Jacob and Terrence were extremely courteous and professional, dropped off some initial documentation, and got to work. I did not have to be home but was able to work from home for the duration of their visit and I can tell you that they worked hard for two days beginning early in the day until late afternoon. Other than leaving for home after Day 1, they did not leave the site and took minimal break time during the entire duration of their stay. Peeking out from time-to-time they took their time cutting the materials to size, and when the project was over recapped with me what they had done. My wife and I are extremely appreciative of Jacob C, Terrence A, Harlan, and the entire team at Tar Heel Basement Systems and would not hesitate to enlist them again!

Colby and a new staff came out to my home and completed a very thorough assessment of my home and its crawlspace. The company has videos that they present that explain common concerns with crawlspaces making it EAs to understand. Colby was very professional and came with a great sense of humour. As I didn’t realize the extent of the work that needs to be completed in my home, I haven’t moved forward with the project yet but will be requesting Groundworks to do the work when I’m able. Thanks again Colby!

We had our crawlspace encapsulated by Groundworks which included 2 pumps, a fan and a ton of insulating materials. The "crawlspace" has a 5-foot ceiling. The crew of foreman: Jacob N., and Richard S., Tim C. and Markee G. were polite, professional, and very hard working. They finished at least two days ahead of the original schedule (probably due to the high ceiling) and cleaned up well after themselves. Jacob answered my many questions and phone calls and went out of his way to leave everything the way he found it. He even returned several days later to replace some pavers he had to remove in order to run a drainpipe under the walkway. When he did that, he also reset some pavers I had not done such a hot job on replacing after I dug a root from underneath them a year or so earlier. We plan on using them when we can afford to run another beam under the house to stiffen up the floor. We are very satisfied and would recommend them to anyone needing their services.

My husband & I have been so stressed about our crawl space issues, but we had our free inspection done today & feel much better. Joe Gilbert has been so helpful & thorough in explaining everything! He even came back later to be able to explain everything in person to both my husband & I (since the inspection was done before we could both be there). We talked with him for a little even after he explained everything, and was so personable. Joe & the company have had great customer service and communicated fully with us. So excited to get to work with JES & Joe, and get our house/crawl space fixed.

We are happy to leave an outstanding review for Kevin A and Harley for the work they did for us to stabilize our concrete slab. They went above and beyond to complete the work on a Sunday with very short notice. They were very willing to explain all of the procedures and answer any questions we had. They were polite and conscientious. They left everything clean and took careful attention to look out for walls and baseboards. We would definitely recommend them to others and use them again for any future needs.

My crew (Anthony, Mike, Jordan, and Johnathan) were great! They were courteous, efficient, communicative, and accomplished the big project incredibly quickly (I was expected a week, and it took less than two days). I appreciated them explaining some of the underlying electrical issues that we need to address, too.

James was very nice and understanding of the situation. He took his time working out all the problems and explained everything in a way that we could understand with ease. He connected, joked, and helped lessen our concerns. Understanding our money concerns with big repairs, He offers many options and worked out the numbers right infront of us with no hidden fees. I recommend him.

Jorge,Daniel and Gabriel completed a job for us that was phenomenal. They placed a sump pump in the basement along with piping and it looks very good. They were courteous and answered questions and kept us updated on the progress. I would recommend this crew to anyone. Thanks to Seth who initially came out to look at our problem and gave us the solution.
