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.

I contacted Groundworks on Monday Dec 9 in regards to a water issue. I no sooner sent the message and the phone rang I had an appointment for Thursday Dec 12. Graham came out & did a foundation inspection. He was very thorough & explained everything to me in great detail. He made suggestions & recommended I call 311. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of their services. They are very professional and do not push you into something that you may not need at this particular time. Thank you

OUTSTANDING JOB, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Aaron Hudson and Dray Fields, were the crew working our home project and they did an excellent job! We couldn’t be happier with the work and to finally get our concrete front porch insulated with foam underneath to protect from the little critter who had dug it over the past couple of years. They were prompt, professional, highly skilled, and knowledgeable about the entire process. They both paid close attention to detail, and worked at a smooth/quick pace. They obviously had a system they employed and diligently worked through the process greatly to our total satisfaction. Despite us having some scheduling setbacks early on, Aaron made contact, and helped us get rescheduled and planned for a time that worked best for us. He was very thorough in explaining the process for our specific project, which also gave us the opportunity to send him photos of some areas that needed special attention and some concrete repair. That exchange can always help to ensure they are fully prepared with a gameplan ready once they show on the scheduled date. I was grateful to have had such a top notch crew as theirs that could arrive at our agreed upon time, fully prepared to work smoothly and confidently as a team to project completion. I’d put either one of these two up against the vast majority of workers I come across these days, fully deserving of any promotion they may be considered for. Our sincere gratitude to Aaron, Dray, and the Groundworks team for working with us, managing the details, and the. knocking it out- protecting our foundation from any further damage and erosion! Thank you all!

I reached out to AquaGuard after my crawlspace flooded during the heavy rains from Hurricane Helene at my new house. Blake Whitener came out to inspect everything – my crawlspace, foundation, and gutters. He pointed out a few things that would need attention down the road, but there was zero pressure to fix anything right away. He was really patient and let me get a few other estimates and think it over before making any decisions. AquaGuard ended up offering the best products and prices, plus their warranty really stood out to me. Once I signed the contract, I was able to schedule the work on my time. Kurt, Joseph, and Reid showed up exactly when they said they would and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. They made sure I knew what was happening, how everything worked, and how long it would take. Kurt even gave me a tour when everything was finished. Blake stayed in touch and made sure everything was done right. Overall, I’m really happy with my experience with AquaGuard!

I just wanted to share my great experience with Justin. He was super friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. He got back to me right away whenever I contacted him, and he was on time. Most importantly, he was totally honest with me, even when it meant we didn't end up needing his services. I really appreciated his upfront and fair assessment of the situation. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs his help!
