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 don’t usually leave reviews, but A1 Drain and Sewer definitely deserves one. I was dealing with a really stubborn clog that I couldn’t fix on my own, and it was starting to stress me out. From the first phone call, they were friendly and reassuring. The technician showed up right on time, explained what was going on perfectly, and got straight to work. You could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. Within a short time, everything was flowing perfectly again. What stood out to me most was how respectful and clean they were — no mess left behind and no pressure to add on extra services. Just honest, solid work. If I ever have another drain issue, I won’t even think twice about who to call. Highly recommend!

Our experience with ground works was pleasant The following crew members helped fix our pre-existing water/flood issues (Sal, Alan and Daniel) we appreciate the level of professionalism and respect that was given coming in and out of our home. One of the first things they did was made sure to cover up/apply plastic over our appliances and belongings that were in the basement to help prevent dust and dirt from getting on our house hold appliances and personal items. Sal made sure to keep me updated throughout the process and was always courteous and always eager to educate me on the process and further ideas to help make sure our system works efficiently. I appreciate you ground works as a whole. their main competitor tried to over charge us and I just want to say this. In fact it’s very simple THRASHER BLOWS!!!! Groundworks beat their price by $5,000.00 and honestly from prior work and amongst the community in Sheldon ia I’ve always heard thrasher over charges and doesn’t even do that great of work. I am so glad I took the time to do my research and found ground works. It goes to show a better price doesn’t always mean poor workmanship. As ground works proved to us that they can do even better! They respect your property and always cleaned up and left it better than they found it when it was time for them to leave. Thank you for a fantastic job and if you’re a manager or the owner reading this please make sure to always put your people first and take care of them. This crew deserves credit for holding true to your company and performing with excellence. Be proud of these guys and find a way to reward them they deserve it!

This is review of pier work performed by Dakota, Phillip, Jose, and Josh and foam poly work performed by Luke and Anthony. The teams were great. Job started with Dakota, Phillip, Jose and Josh doing the pier work. Dakota walked me through the process and ensured I understood the job at hand. I was kept well informed of progress and challenges considering the extreme cold. Luke and Anthony came out on day 3 to do the foam poly as pier team was finishing stabilizing and Backfilling the piers. Luke again walked me through the process and expectations. He kept me informed on progress. When work was done I had a walk through with each team with explanation of what was performed. Areas that could not be bright back to original were pointed out and the reasons explained. These were also in line with expectations set when original quote was provided. All of the crew members were polite and on task job site was cleaned up. Great crew and met or exceeded my expectations.

I would highly recommend AFS for all your foundation, basement and crawlspace needs. Sales rep, Rob Lenoir, did a great job of assessing what needed to be done to my crawlspace, explaining the process and equipment required. Kevin Calderon, Logan Firmature, and Jacob Hernandez did a great job with the installation. I am very pleased with the results.
