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.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Justin B from OBA for our waterproofing basement and foundation repair project, and I cannot recommend him enough! From the moment Justin B arrived, he brought a warm friendly energy that instantly made us feel at ease! His knowledge of both Italian and Jamaican cultures added a charm to our conversation and it felt like chatting with an old friend rather than a representative trying to make a SALE! He took the time to thoroughly explain the estimates & what needed to be done, ensuring we understood every aspect of the process! We truly appreciated how patient he was answering all our questions and making sure we felt comfortable with our choices! What stood out the most was Justin's passion for what he does & the company he partly owns! He was genuinely invested in helping us find the RIGHT SOLUTIONS FOR OUR HOME,which really inspires confidence in the work OBA offers! If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a personal touch, Justin B. Is definitely your guy! Thank you Justin B. For making this experience so positive for our family! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Thomas & Elizabeth Chipman of Florence KY

Groundwork: Foundation job consisting of placing 12 push piers in the ground that would correct the settling of the foundation which caused stair-step cracks along one side of the house. The team assigned to this job was foreman LJ and his crew members, Lee, Nike, and Jalen. Each one was very knowledgeable of the task at hand. They were professional, polite. LJ explained all that would be done and the time frame to complete it. I recommend this team for your foundation repair. They replaced everything back to the way it was or better. Thank you for a job well done, LJ and team!

Couldn't ask for a better experience! From the initial phone call, contacts and the actual install, it was the best professionalism one could ask for. They handled the permitting and inspections. Luke, Brett and Tyler treated the job site like it was their own property. From initial greeting, job set up, install, cleanliness and breakdown. Other than the repaired foundation, it was like they were never there. Well done. Highly recommend this installation crew and this company.

Ashton Gillen and Jake Hansen really came through for me. I knew I had a problem with uneven concrete and cracking walls and had contacted Davenport a couple years back but never heard from them. Last Monday I called Groundworks and by Tuesday at noon I had an inspection, contract, and a scheduled work date. When you have a huge problem, you really need expertise and fast action. These guys really delivered.

AFS did a lot of work on our crawlspace these last two days. It was in a bad way with high humidity, mold growth and spots of standing water. They installed a drainage system with pump, full mold treatment and cleaning of the floor joists, did a full encapsulation, installed a dehumidifier and replaced our crawlspace door. I must say I am impressed by the work I have seen down there and I would highly recommend these guys. I also want to give a HUGE shout out and thank you to Cody, Justin and Christian for all of their hard work. They were very good at keeping me informed with the work progress and answered all of my questions. Thanks again gentlemen !!

Worked with Ken Jordan from this company. One of the better experiences with home repair consulting that I've had- he was knowledgable, honest, and I felt that he had our best interests in mind. I hope I don't need to have more work done in the future, but I would call Ken for sure if it was needed.

Jeremy H is absolutely wonderful! He’s very responsive, and detailed. When asking questions he gave a technical but simplified answer so I understood the scope of work and why he suggested it that way. 10/10 recommend Jeremy for your field inspector.

Ohio Basement Authority gave us a very reasonable estimate for leveling out several problem spots in our concrete driveway and walkway to our front door. Then they contacted us when a spot opened on their job schedule a few months sooner than expected. Their crew, Nick and Earl, were on time, very personable, kept us fully informed on their progress, and did a great job. Our driveway, walkway, and front-door entryway look much better, with tripping hazards gone. Very happy with the OBA's work!

David Alvarez… I could not have been more happy that you were the rep from Groundworks to check out my homes issues in regards to crawl spaces. Aside from responding back and forth via text and or phone calls regardless of the day and or hour he was on time, professional, and knowledgeable of more than just the issue I had at hand. I do not write reviews, not that guy, never have been,but for this man, regardless of whether I planned to use the company for the job or not he is more than deserving of a great review. If his company doesn't already know how much of an asset he is I would be shocked. I will be using groundworks for the job and that is because they are a reputable company and the trust that David brings to the table.

Jake and his team Ernest and Jaime did such an amazing and efficient job on our foundation repair! They were aware that our special needs son has asthma and they were very careful to try to mitigate the dust as much as possible and they worked so hard to get the job finished on time to try to reduce disruption to our home life, and they were actually able to finish the job early! They were all very respectful, and Jake kept us informed every step of the way during the repair. They did a great job cleaning up afterwards as well. We obtained estimates from 3 different foundation companies and we are so grateful we chose Groundworks. We highly recommend Jake and his team!
