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.

Mr. Glenn provided excellent service. He was courteous, prompt, and very knowledgeable. What we appreciated most was how he explained everything in simple, layman’s terms so we could clearly understand the plumbing issues and what needed to be done. It’s not always easy to find a company that is both honest and professional, but my experience with Mr. Glenn was exactly that.

Austin Andes came to our home to inspect the framing and foundation condition and help us diagnose some possible settlement issues we were experiencing. He did a thorough inspection of the home, outside, inside and in the crawl space including taking photos he used during the post inspection to explain what he found. He was very professional and offered a very reasonable solution to address and help maintain our hone. I would definitely recommend Austin to anyone needing foundation remediation.

I have nothing but nice things to say. From working with Manny C, the field inspector, to the installation crew (Jose R. G., Christian A.H., Juancarlos G.) this was wonderful and personalized customer service of the highest quality. Manny worked with me on my schedule to get me exactly what I wanted and needed. Jose R.G., Christian A.H., and Juancarlos G. were punctual, highly professional, and courteous throughout both installation days. They kept me updated via pictures on the progress of the project throughout, which was awesome and so helpful, putting my mind at ease. They also dealt with my pups and my special requests in such a nice manner. Thank you again for such a great end project and that wonderful customer service!

We discovered that we had an issue with our sump pump. The pump was not removing the water from underneath our house. Mark Duncan came out and spent several hours cleaning out the pump and running fresh water through the system. Now the pump works great! He also cleaned up any mud and dirt that he tracked in underneath the house. I was very impressed with the finished job.

Great company, great team. From bid process with Brian to execution with Mark and Brandon everyone did exactly what they promised when they promised. I couldn't be more pleased with the final result. My patio no longer drains to the foundation but away as it should even in the heaviest rain. Would use these guys again in a heartbeat! Thanks!
