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.

Had a great experience from start to finish! Trent was very informative when telling me what I needed and then the crew – Victor, Antonio and Ubaldo were courteous, professional and got the job done very quickly! You can tell communication is so important to this company. They made sure I knew what was happening at all times. Not only that, Victor and his crew made sure my house and landscaping looked just as good (if not better, actually) than when they started. Very please all the way around!

Foreman John Jones and his crew Anthony G. and Dantez R. did a fantastic job putting supports in the crawl space to level my floor. John communicated with me through the entire process. They were very professional, knowledgeable and polite. And a closet door that hasn’t closed in years, closes perfectly. I highly recommend John, Anthony and Dantez. Thank you!

We scheduled with FSM for an inspection of our crawl space to get help with understanding what we could do to clean and seal it up. Our inspector was John Eldon. John is tasked with the unpleasant job of crawling through some dirty, cramped spaces and he definitely approached ours with good humor and a professional attitude. He put us at ease and did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and concerns. There was NO hard sell or pressure to sign. We did contract with FSM to do the job and feel very comfortable with the process so far. They followed up as promised with scheduling. We're hoping to follow up with a positive review after the job is done. Thank you, John!

My experience with JES was overall positive. I had work on foundation, crawlspace and carport floor. The front office did not give me enough information about when each crew was coming and how long their job would take. Also the group that marked my yard for gas, water and electric lines did not mark the sewer line and did not ask me about it. The first crew was led by Keon Smith – they did foundation work and did a good, efficient job. They worked hard the whole time. The second crew was led by Jacob Jackson and they put crawl space supports and floor cover in. They had to come through a bedroom in the basement. They did also did a great job. They left no mess. The third crew was led by Michael Franklin and they worked to flatten my carport floor. Again, they were efficient and did the best they could.

My experience with Alpha was great. My home is over 100 years old and has always had issues with settling and cracks. Recently some things had gotten worse. I called Alpha and Cody came out to inspect and do some measurements. We scheduled the installation of jacks under some of the beams to prevent further damage. The crew arrived to do the install, we discussed what they would be doing. They were all wonderful. Very efficient and professional. I would definitely recommend Alpha. Thank you Cody, Kyle Drew and Max!!

We had our crawl space encapsulated due to water and moisture damage. The crew of David P, James C, & Michael James worked well together and took care of everything that needed to be done. The work was done in a timely professional manner and they left our property very clean. Also the crew was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions (we had alot of them). We are very happy with the work done and we recommend that you call Tarheel Basement Co.
