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.

Jake, Blake, Alberto, Tory and Charles were great! They explained everything through the process to ensure I was comfortable. It was amazing to see them actually lift my house and see the cracks close! They were courteous, professional, and left the place like they found it, clean and repaired. I highly recommend Alpha Foundations if you have a foundation issue.

Rally Vega was my certified field inspector and did a fantastic job. She was very thorough, stayed on the property for two and a half hours. After that time, she determined there was nothing wrong with my foundation. She pointed out minor cosmetic irregularities which I had not noticed on my own. I was extremely impressed with her honesty and professional ethics. She was also a joy to be around. I believe Rally and Groundworks will serve well with any issues that may present themselves regarding your home. Definite thumbs up!

I had some concerns about the foundation of my home and scheduled an appointment with AquaGuard. Mark and Clark were assigned to assess the situation and advise on any potential issues, along with possible solutions and costs. When I arrived at my home, they were already waiting, which showed great punctuality. Both were friendly, took the time to explain their roles and the company’s services, and shared how long they’ve been with AquaGuard. They made sure to understand my concerns thoroughly before beginning their inspection. Mark and Clark were very thorough, checking both the interior and exterior of my home multiple times. They demonstrated a deep knowledge of foundation issues, sharing their past experiences with similar cases and providing helpful tips on what to watch for moving forward. They reassured me that there were no immediate concerns, which was a huge relief. They even gave me their personal contact information in case I had any questions later. Overall, the entire experience was positive, and I felt confident in their expertise. I highly recommend AquaGuard to anyone dealing with foundation or waterproofing issues. Mark and Clark are not only efficient and knowledgeable but also super friendly and genuinely helpful to homeowners. Mrs. F. Hernandez

Foundation Repair – REVIEW To: Groundworks Foundation Company I just wanted to take a moment and express my appreciation to the two crews your company sent to my house this week, to do some major foundation repair work. The first crew consisted of Foreman Brenden, along with his crew of Steven, Justin, and Angel. They were joined by a second crew that consisted of Adam, Josh, and Wes. Both crews worked together on the first day to get a total of 19 holes started around our house, which would allow Brendon to use the hydraulic press that would push the steel poles into the ground that would eventually support the flange immediately under the edge of the foundation. The soil our house is built on is called blackland and is very thick and heavy when wet, as was the case this week when the work was started. This type of soil is very difficult to work with when wet, as opposed to when it is dry, but both crews went to work immediately to get the pilot holes dug around the house. I was impressed with their ability to dig those holes with the soil being in the worst possible condition at this time, to do so. After both crews completed many of the holes for the steel pipes to go into, the second crew was able to leave to go to another work location, and that left the first crew to begin the installation of the steel pipes that would eventually support the foundation, and also complete a few remaining holes that had not been dug at that time. All of the work was well organized and everyone had a job to do. I never saw anyone taking a break, and at the end of the first day, I would say half of the pipe supports had been installed. I was informed they would be back early on the second day to complete the work. They showed up right around 8am and immediately picked up where they left off the night before. By mid-afternoon, everything was in place and Brenden began taking readings in various rooms of our home to see how much the foundation had raised. Most readings ranged from about a half inch to as much as 1.5 inches, which was a great improvement overall. But the most secure feeling about the work is that our foundation is stabilized and will not continue to cause the cracks in the sheetrock of several rooms, that we have experienced over the past couple of years. We will now be able to make repairs and paint, where necessary, and know that any repair work will remain permanent. Before the crew was going to leave, we were asked if we were pleased with the work and how it was done. I told Brenden that we could not have been happier with the results, and were very impressed with the technology that Groundworks used to secure and stabilize our foundation, so that we should not have any further issues in the future. Please give my best regards to each of these two crews who worked here this week, and I know they are all a tremendous asset to your company. Richard Boydstun Sachse, TX 75048
