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 knew when I purchased our home, there was a slight unevenness in the floor. Over time it has gotten worse. The best thing I did was to call Mount Valley Foundation Services. Trey performed a very thorough inspection and had an excellent plan to correct the issues. I think they sent their best worker, Oscar, Billy and Kemper. They introduced themselves with smiles and enthusiasm. They got the job done in a very professional manner. They gave me updated throughout the process. They all take pride in their profession. I am very pleased with the results.

Ian, Justin, and Clemente installed new supports in our crawl space to fix our sagging floor. They were on time, professional, and personable, and most importantly they worked fast and clean. They fixed our floors without any damage or mess. You would never have known they were here other than the once visible gaps and cracks at our baseboard or doorways are now gone or greatly reduced. This is a company I would recommend, and a team I would request by name.

Having concerns about the foundation of your home can be overwhelming. I am so grateful to have found Groundworks! From the moment I started talking with them it was clear that customer service and professionalism is their top priority. Kalen the project manager arrived right on time, and was incredibly thorough in inspecting my home and spending time with me to make sure I understood his findings. Often when I’ve had basic assessments it’s with an estimator who will have no connection to the work, and I value the fact that Groundworks sends the person who would manage a possible project for the initial inspection. I highly recommend them!

Aaron and Londynn arrived to help with a sloping patio addition, and also to level the driveway as it enters our garage. We knew the patio was going to be a challenging job; I already had a structural engineer give us her opinion about possible fixes. When Aaron looked at things, he had concerns about columns for an overhanging arbor which were piercing the patio slab, believing that these could be significant friction points during slab jacking. Unfortunately, and despite applying many tons of lifting force on the edge of the patio with jacks, the slab refused to budge. His concern at that point was that the slab would fracture at the weak point where the columns pierced the slab. With his recommendation. we elected to stop the lift at that point. Only a little disappointed, I realized his expertise had truly saved us from an unhappy result. They did inject foam to stabilize the patio at its current position, until we decide if a full replacement is in the cards. They then moved on to leveling the driveway slabs where it enters the garage. This part of the job was fast and very straightforward. They replaced all the deteriorating wooden strips at expansion joints. Everything there looks A++. We were charged only what we had placed as a downpayment for the entire job, despite them spending as much time at my home as they might have, had everything gone 100%. At the end of the day, I can say that I am very happy with the work that Aaron, London, and Groundworks did for us. And I am particularly impressed with the expertise of the men that Groundworks sent to take care of us. Although we weren't able to get done everything we'd hoped, I can confidently say that I would wholeheartedly recommend them for minimally invasive lifts of slabs, foundations, and driveways.

Met with Tom Tuck who was very personable. He was very thorough and thoughtful while checking out my dad’s house which we thought had foundation issues. Turns out the issues are all cosmetic, and even though that was the case, and we didn’t need foundation repair, Tom still spent time brainstorming how the issues could have occurred and advising us on possible next steps. We appreciated his knowledge and integrity very much.

I'm getting my pennies together to use the service but I'm incredibly impressed by their application and the differences between them and the other companies. I would like to give a very special shout out to both Dylan Johnson & Scott Asmore. They were incredibly thorough on the business side and really fun to talk to on the personal side. By the the time they left I was hoping we would end up grabbing a pint and having a fish fry together…. preferably in my kitchen with a new stable foundation. Very solid people.
