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.

Clarke Miller with groundworks was very impressive. He showed up on time, did a very thorough inspection, and proposed a very good solution to our problem. We’ve had some other companies out here to look at the issue and they weren’t even close to the level of professionalism and detail Clarke was. Highly recommend groundworks for any foundation repair issues you need repaired as they are the trusted experts!

Our front door stopped closing and we were terrified the house was shifting. Tim came out and checked out our foundation and gave it a clean bill of health. I then realized it was just a small issue with the door that I had overlooked. Tim was very knowledgeable, and pointed out some non-urgent things to keep an eye on. I appreciated his professionalism and will definitely call back when we need work in the future.

We called AFS Knoxville after finding some concerning areas in our basement. Talon came out and took the time to fully educate us on the issues we were seeing rather than just pitching a product/service. He also was so patient in answering all the questions we posed. Because of the initial consultation with Talon, we ultimately decided to move forward in working with AFS and are looking forward to seeing the end result!

First, met with Matt, the field inspector, who described the process, time involved, and project amount. He was professional and friendly. Then we met the site crew, Samuel and Kevin. Can't say enough about how hard they worked, and the amazing results. They communicated with us several times during the course of the project, answering questions, showing us what they had done, and suggesting we take photos of the project that would soon be buried under dirt, in case we had questions later. They were super friendly and professional, as well. Great job! Steve and Alana, Coupeville WA
