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.

The technician, Pat Burns called me quickly after I placed an emergency call on Sunday morning. He was prompt, professional, explained everything well, even called water damage to come out and start cleanup. But most of all, he was kind and considerate, answering my questions and putting my concerns first. Thank you!

We recently used Groundworks to lift our house due to noticeable bounce in the floors, significant sloping in the kitchen and other areas and generally uneven surfaces that even caused a door jam and prevented a door from closing properly. We also had a concerning crack on the wall. We were impressed from the very beginning. Matthew conducted a thorough initial inspection, patiently addressing all of our (my husband and my) questions, concerns, and opinions with remarkable attention to detail. This thoroughness continued with Foreman Brandon and his crew Quandarius Turner, and Gabe, who completed the house lifting expertly. Brandon was particularly accommodating and clearly explained all the necessary adjustments, and the end result is just incredible. This was the best quote we have ever gotten, but what truly sealed the deal was the professionalism and expertise of the entire Groundwork team, including Matthew, Brandon, Quandarius Turner , and Gabe. We highly recommend them! Mr. And Mrs. Smith

This was one of the most professional companies that I have her dealt with. Kegan was the inspector. Steven and Isiah installed the piers. George and Patrick did the poly work. Felipe was the field superintendent. This work was done in a timely manner and the cleanup was excellent.

I had a great experience with the Groundworks foundation repair team. Kenneth (foreman), Junior (co-foreman), and 2nd Junior (installer) were professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of my property throughout the entire project. Kenneth clearly explained how the beams would support the foundation and why they were placed in certain locations. He also asked permission before removing shrubs that interfered with the work and explained how sprinkler lines would be handled and repaired. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the area clean. The work was completed exactly as promised, and I’m very pleased with the results. I highly recommend the Groundworks team for their professionalism, communication, and quality workmanship.

Corbin took the lead with his team of CJ and Austin. They were the friendliest, cleanest, most knowledgeable and hard working guys I've ever had doing work in my home. I had structural issues in my crawlspace, causing my bathroom floor to start slanting. Instead of taking a day or two as originally thought, these guys were in at 8 and out by 11. Corbin showed me afterward, pictures of what was done and answered all my questions. These guys were all very nice and worked hard! They get extra points for being so cool with my dogs and cats. Great crew, great work.

Rob was super professional, but talked to us like “this is what I would do if I were in your shoes.” Not a hard sell which we very much appreciated. He knew his stuff and came up with a great solution. We want to get an engineer in because we have some remodeling we want to do that might impact his suggestions, but definitely will be using Groundworks in the future.
