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 like to extend my gratitude toward Colten and the team he sent to finish the job on my basement. It was a process with ups and downs but when he stepped in, he fixed my issues and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I can say the product has held up beautifully, on November 4-5th we had torrential downpour in the city of St. Louis, I’m happy to report i had a dry basement, not one drop of rain made its way in. I was incredibly relieved. I had a sump pump, drainage around my entire basement and wall barrier on walls with a drain in front of my basement door installed. The cost was competitive and a little less than others. I would highly recommend Foundation Recovery Systems and Colten was very professional and the most accommodating person I’ve ever dealt with. This basement has caused me a lot of anxiety especially since I’ve only owned the house for 3 years and it was a lemon by all accounts covered in a pretty rehab, thanks to Colten there’s no more tears and only peace of mind! I would highly recommend if you want a company that takes great care of their clients. Thank you Colten!

Brian was friendly, professional and thorough. He took a look at and addressed any of my concerns and ensured that our foundation was in good shape before leaving. He is also a wealth of knowledge, so he took his time to explain what can be done to keep our foundation and sump pump at optimal health. We appreciate his service and that of JES for making this work so accessible for homeowners like myself.

Ohio Basement Systems Certified Field Inspector Jacob Letner was very informative about the company and the work to be done having our garage leveled. Jacob Letner's was on time and very precise and honest! He showed us work that we thought had to be done and through the proof of the instruments he used was proof that we did not need basement work. Thank you Jacob Letner!

I contacted AFS to assess my home after encountering water damage in multiple areas. Devin Kimbrough was assigned to me. Devin was professional from start to finish, communicated well, and thoroughly educated me on the issues that were occurring at my home. He identified where water was entering the home, identified various cracks and, explained how they likely occurred. Devin is an SME in what he does and I would highly recommend. Thanks for everything, Devin!

Starting out, Kevin came for the assessment and was so kind and professional. Especially since it's scary worrying about your house and the costs. He understood and went over everything in great detail and offered financing options. On the day of installation, Edgar was so kind and informative with his team Bennie and Josh. They made a huge difference in our floors! Edgar also offered solid advice and was so easy to talk to. We highly recommend these guys for your home!! Thanks y'all!!

I noticed some cracks in the bricks on the outside of my home and called a couple of places to take a look. One company said I needed major work and that the foundation was settling. Then John Stone with JES arrived with equipment that verified that the foundation has not moved and that the crack is from another issue and not a major repair job that involves a construction project. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! This honesty cannot be beat.

Mel Darling inspected the foundation of our house and carefully explained the issues she found. She was very thorough, and very good at explaining the technical details of what it would take to stabilize the foundation. Because we are planning to sell the house, she worked with us to find options that would make sense for our situation. She was great to work with and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend the company, and especially Mel as a project manager.

Tori and Chris are top shelf, hard-working, personable, perfectionists, who don’t settle for “good enough.” They explained what they would do to lift my sidewalk and driveway, how their product works, and left my property cleaner than they found it. They took time to show me what they were doing as they were working and patiently answered my questions. Their work was exceptional and my driveway and sidewalk look great! I couldn’t be more pleased. Alpha Foundations has at least two guys who are fantastic at what they do.
