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.

Alex C., Brandon R., and Jayden G. did a wonderful job installing a pump in my basement cellar room. They went above and beyond to ensure that the pump would work efficiently while also concealing external piping to preserve the aesthetics of my home. They were meticulous about installation and cleanup. What a team!

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.

We are doing some renovations to our house and decided that in order to do them, we finally needed to address the obvious foundation repairs necessary to do them correctly. I performed a Google search for foundation repair companies in the Houston area. Foundation Support Specialist was able to schedule me for that very same day. Brian E. was the field inspector assigned to give our house an inspection and estimate for foundation repair. We received notification about 20 minutes prior to his scheduled time by text messages and a phone call, stating that he was on his way. Brian arrived precisely at his scheduled time and was courteous and friendly. After he introduced himself and told us about his company Groundworks (formerly Foundation Support Specialist), he went over a checklist with us to get some history of our home. Afterwards he explained how he would be inspecting our house and what exactly he was looking for. He got to work and was very thorough and professional during his inspection. He measured and drew up a scale diagram of our house, then proceeded to use his Ziplevel to take altitude measurements of the floor throughout our house. His measurements showed that our foundation had sunk almost 2" on the NW corner of our house. He showed us a slideshow on why foundations settle, common practices to repair, and how Groundworks repairs foundations. When he was done, he gave us 3 levels of estimates. A minimal necessary repair, A mid range estimate, and a high end estimate that included extra piers on the SE corner to help support the opposite side of the slab from the repairs. He explained what each level included and answered any questions we had. Brian spent about 2 hours with us and all in all it was a pleasant experience. We have 2 more companies coming out in the next week to give us estimates, and unless they use a similar pier into bedrock system and drastically lower price, we will most likely choose Groundworks for our repairs.

Had a major issue with dad’s front steps sagging over time. AFS did a great job lifting concrete steps and sidewalk back into position. Cleanup after the job was exceptional. Super courteous crew including Parris Houchins, Bug Boyd, Edgar Perez, Benjamin Esparza, and Josh Britton. I should also mention that my sales rep Jason Camp did an excellent job on the front end… Checking with his experts to make sure the lift could be successful and meet expectations. Really appreciate the transparency and communication throughout the entire job.

Shane came to our house and explained the entire process for foundation stabilization and what to expect when the work was done. Steve, Austin, and Q arrived about 9 am on the day the work was to be done. They explained what they would do and went right to work. They worked quickly but made sure they took the time to answer all my questions about what they were doing. They were mindful of my property and protected my grass and plants. They finished about 1:30 pm. Having completed my garage foundation stabilization, they completely cleaned up and left my yard looking just as it had when they arrived. These guys were great. The whole process from start to finish went very smoothly. Thanks guys.

I'm so glad we called this company. Brad B came out and did a thorough inspection of our property and was honest. That's hard to find these days. He told us we didn't need them and told us what we would need to be looking for and when to worry. His visit was very reassuring. Brad B. was exceptional and deserves 10 stars!

Ethan and Cody were wonderful. They were prompt, respectful and honest which were all very much appreciated. Even though some things went wrong with how the sales person wrote up my order, they did everything they could to make it right. I don’t think that they truly knew how much it meant to me to have them step up and do the right thing. I am very grateful for them both and will recommend AFS, Ethan and Kody to anyone looking for this kind of work. Thank you again! Barbie T.

We started having issues closing our door to the garage indicating a possible foundation issue – i called Foundation Recovery Systems and was contacted by CFI Hunter Holmes. We agreed on a time and Hunter came out and got down and dirty in the crawl space area below our house. After about 3 hours Hunter came out, took another 40 minutes or so to put together a report, and then we sat down to see what he found. What i found is that Hunter Holmes is extremely knowledgeable about what can go wrong in a crawl space under a house. We talked about the specific issues under my house – any question i had was thoroughly answered. Hunter was indefatigable in explaining what needed to be done and why. I am thankful to him for his sincere and genuine help in my understanding what is going on in my crawl space. After Hunter left he remained available to answer any follow up question i had via text or phone call. I recommend 5 stars for Hunter Holmes without any reservation whatsoever.

William Brunson came to my house to evaluate it for foundation repair, and it was easily the most transparent, simplified experience I've had with a home repair contractor, to date. He was personable, courteous, thorough and set my expectations for the next steps appropriately. This company appears to have a great model for delivering quality customer experience. I was very impressed and will likely move forward. Pricing is competitive and financing options are attractive.
