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 met Parker today to have my crawl space inspected and review encapsulating it. Parker was very professional and knowledgable. He gave me all the information I needed to make a decision on the work. I appreciate how easy he was to deal with and how easy he made the process. I am moving forward with the work and am now an AquaGuard customer.

If you need foundation repair this is the company to call! I would like to commend Jay and Karl for their professionalism and customer service while fixing the wrap around deck of my 20 year old home. I was late getting home and they had already consulted with my wife prior to starting work. When I got home I was greeted by Karl who gave me a quick rundown on how the work was going. Jay also showed me how they had already fixed the worst area of the deck and were stabilizing what remained. I felt I was in good hands because they were so happy in what they were doing and had such great attitudes about the work. Their enthusiasm in their job was refreshing to see. I would also like to thank Ethan for coming out for the initial inspection and explaining how the job would go. Both Ethan and Jay explained the 5 year warranty and how it works.

We called Mount Valley Foundation Services to request an inspection of our subfloor & floor joists due to cracked kitchen tiles & bouncy floor in an adjacent room. Glenn Joyner came out to do the inspection, and we were very impressed with his knowledge, experience, & friendly demeanor. He did a thorough inspection, showed us photos, & said our house was structurally sound, but bouncy floors were due to the long room having 40 yr. old floor joists that were sagging from age & prior moisture issues that existed before our crawl space was encapsulated 17 yrs. ago. He detailed how Mount Valley could raise the joists to permanently resolve the bounce, & the price to do so. We were forthright about needing to save for expense of raising the floor joists, & he offered us the option of using their financing plan, but was understanding when we said we had to make a plan & a timetable before moving forward. Our plan will include using Mount Valley when ready to proceed with repairs.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeanne from JES Foundation Repair, and I couldn’t be more impressed. As an inspector and sales associate, Jeanne’s extensive knowledge was evident from the start. She thoroughly explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Her communication skills are exceptional, and she answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. It’s rare to meet someone with such a strong combination of expertise and people skills. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone in need of foundation services—she truly goes above and beyond!

We had a great experience with AFS. George came out and gave us a thorough inspection and estimate to repair the work, while explaining their repair system and how it would be the right solution for us. We scheduled the install that day. On the day the work was done, the install crew gave us a heads up call when they were on the way out, and told us what time to expect them. The crew was respectful of our home and did their work with little to no interruption to our normal daily activities. I’m very pleased with the service and quality of product we received and would recommend them to anyone.

Alpha Crew: From the start first meeting with Dylan Peebles Fantastic service. The poly foam crew, Blake & Drew professionals. Thank you very meticulous, they stopped my water leakage from coming from below.Foundation & pier crew Jake & Alberto saved my overhead floor from collapse. We were kept informed all the way in each process. We were of course very curious of each step kept informed of each process Eager to show the process to us. We believe they felt like they were glad to save our home. Built in 1961 and Helene and Milton hurricanes really took a toll on our foundation. Alpha was the rescue. We even chatted about Mike Rowe from dirty jobs. Thank you one and all.
