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.

Joel from JES provided top-notch, speedy service to repair a broken pump in my basement and run a new pipe through a tight crawlspace and out of the side of the house. Was a really tricky job, but he got it done right and took the time to communicate with me what the plan was at every step of the process. Very professional approach and results.

Wow! This company is wonderful, and worth every dollar. The crew who came to our home to stabilize our previously-sinking house were better than we could have imagined. Here's what we loved about our Groundworks experience (in no particular order): 1. Blake, Warren, and Bobby were professional, kind, skilled, and they kept us updated on each step of the project. 2. They were on time, and they worked efficiently so we were not in a repair zone too long. 3. They are skilled beyond belief. They acted like "surgeons" when installing the supporting materials in our foundation. 4. They were a team! Blake, Warren, and Bobby knew what they needed to do, and they were a well-oiled machine. Pros! 5. They left the exterior of our home the same way they found it, and the entire repair exceeded our expectations. 6. Thank you, Blake, Warren, and Bobby!

Kevin and Curtis were amazing. Prompt, professional, and very curtious or my home and property. They made sure the job was done right and the communication was great. I never had to guess what was happening and they made sure to update me every step of the way. Clean up was great, they didn't leave anything that wasn't supposed to be left behind. 5/5 would recommend them to anyone else needing crawl space work done.

Ethan was very professional as well as the entire team… from assessment to estimating and scheduling, the process was seamless and I was kept in-the-loop the entire time. I've been calling on A1 for many years for my plumbing needs and they have never failed to deliver quality workmanship. In this case, they were dealing with the gas water heater I had purchased and they had to modify the height of the stand due to height differences from old to new, which was done in short-order. Haul-away and cleanup was quick.

The process for the work that was needed was explained very well by Mark Snelling and the quote given for the work was much less than I expected. Everyone was always on time and Mike Kelley who did the repair was very helpful in explaining and answering all my questions.
