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 would prefer to leave them 10 stars! Nick and his crew did an excellent job installing the piers. They were professional, cleaned up the site and made certain I didn't have any questions. Samuel W., aka Cooper, and Ceasar G. did an exceptional job injecting the PolyRenewal( structural foam) under the tile. Cooper was so careful not to damage the flooring. Wow! Cooper and Ceasar were professional and polite. Gavin, my project engineer, never dropped the ball. Anytime I had a question, he always responded to my calls or texts. He is very knowledgeable about the process from the beginning to the end! Over the years, I've had several contractors to my home for various projects. I can honestly say, Alpha Foundations has been the Best!! Thank you guys!!!

I highly recommend Dry Pro Foundation and Crawlspace, Our initial contact was Jesse Thrash, the field inspector. Jessie explained what we needed for repairs and to correct the water damage . He provided pictures from under the house to support. Obviously, the need concerned my husband and me as it was a big expense. Jessie assured us that that all aspects of the work and service would be top notch. Pricing was fair and he explained what we were getting for service and pricing. He was very transparent about the cost. Jessie was with us for the entire process when I called or texted. He was very responsive to my concerns. The first time I sent a text it was late. I didn’t expect to hear until next day, but he answered immediately. I really liked that customer service. He most certainly made us feel comfortable and assured. I was very impressed with his professionalism. Javier, Casey, Dionte and Willem were the service crew we had to do the encapsulation, repairs and install the dehumidifier. All I can say wow! They were friendly, punctual and skilled. Our point of contact was Javier. Javier explained what the crew was going to do that day. He responded to our questions and took the time to explain what was happening along the way in detail. The thing that really stood out to me was Javier’s pride in his company and the quality of materials they used. He assured us at the end of the job we would be pleased. They cleaned up everything after they finished. This team has a strong work ethic. This is how a company builds a good reputation. I will say that we are not homeowners who are passive. We like to be engaged as to what is happening and the people who are doing the work. This was an excellent experience from an entire team. Joseph and I would definitely recommend Dry-pro for this service need.

I recently hired Ground Works to repair several sunken slabs in my garage caused by poorly compacted soil. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The two gentlemen who performed the work (Guiles Hall and Jason Lewis) were the highlight of the service—they were professional, courteous, and took the time to explain the process to me so I knew exactly what was being done.They completed the job right on schedule and handled my property with great care. It’s clear this company prioritizes hiring good, high-quality people. I highly recommend their services to anyone dealing with concrete issues!

I was able to schedule an appraisal quickly, and things were explained clearly. On the day work was done in my crawl space, to buttress the joists, crew leader Donavin Carloch and his crew (John Cruz, Darwin Cruz, Jonathan Cruz) were efficient and professional. The work was completed ahead of schedule, and the area tidied before they left. I would definitely use Ohio Basement Authority again.
