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 was very pleased to have the crew from Aquagard come to my home to solve a problem with my crawl space. They were very quick to figure it out. I worked with Andrew first and he was great. Very professional, smart and extremely conscientious. My crawl space was encapsulated by the best crew of Kurt, Joseph and Alex. All of them were so easy to work with and did a wonderful job. They explained everything I needed to know, and made it all very easy on me. I wouldn't hesitate to use Aquagard again for any project.

Richard John Johan Jhorfry and his crew did a great job with replacing part of our waterproofing system that was completely clogged. He and his crew were very polite and Richard explained everything to me. He added extra access points to be able to flush the system better to hopefully prevent this from happening again. I highly recommend Richard and his crew with the Ohio Basement Authority.

I had the best experience with Groundworks. Michael made the first consultation so easy and informative. Not only did he evaluate the concrete and bricks on my front steps and driveway, he inspected the entire perimeter of my home for cracks, drainage issues and wood rot. I really appreciated his knowledge and honesty. Zech and Jacob called 15 minutes before arrival. Super friendly and polite. They communicated very well, before and after about the job they preformed. I love how it looks and the peace of mind knowing my porch and driveway were fixed properly is Hugh. Thank you Groundworks for making it easy!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Aqua Guard, and we cannot say enough great things about JD and his crew, Jay T and Dominic. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. The communication throughout the process was exceptional — JD kept us informed every step of the way, making sure we always knew what to expect. When it came to the actual work, the team’s attention to detail and thoroughness were truly impressive. Nothing was overlooked, and the quality of their work spoke for itself. What really set them apart was their professionalism. JD, Jay T, and Dominic were respectful, hardworking, and clearly took great pride in what they do. They didn’t just meet our expectations — they went above and beyond in every way, making sure the job was done right and that we were completely satisfied before they left. If you’re looking for a team that is reliable, skilled, and genuinely cares about the work they do, look no further. We would highly recommend JD and his crew at Aqua Guard to anyone. You will not be disappointed! Dee and Tina

Carter S. and Riley G. did a great job on our driveway! The cement slabs in the driveway had sunk and cracked—one was at least 2” or more which made driving into the garage a bumpy experience. But they got the slabs lifted, repaired the cracks, and caulked the joints between slabs. They even wrote down what caulk we should use to do the other joints if we choose to do that. No more sinking driveway! And we greatly appreciate the company’s folllow-up where they will come check their work annually for 5 years.
