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.

We have an old house on a hill, which has a lot of underground streams. Over the years the soil under our foundation has destabilized, causing one side of the house to sink. We talked to a lot of foundation contractors, but it was Matvey that really impressed us. Their attention to detail, and proper approaches (including engineering reports, load calculations etc) was fantastic and reassuring. They worked with the city to push through permitting, and kept us well updated on that process. The solution we needed was metal support piles under the foundation on one side of the house. Marco and Eduardo, the install team, were amazing. Really knowledgeable, friendly and great workers. They did an awesome job of installing the foundation supports, and left the area they were working in cleaner than before they came. Matvey were not the cheapest quote we got – but we felt that their approach was the best, and most thought out. I’d also argue your house foundation isn’t an area to cheap out on 🙂

Brian German is our foundation recovery systems inspection technician. Brian came out today on our annual service call checked out all our systems. Checked the level of our house perimeter all the way around checked our walls,floors and ceilings for movement. While Brian was here he helped us with another issue we had which was the drain from our whole house heating system had gotten clogged but was under the encapsulation. Brian opened the encapsulation located or drain line cleaned it out for us and resealed the encapsulation. We have a different technician each year for our annual inspection and I really hope that Brian is our inspector from now on he's pleasant and thorough.

Nathan and his crew at Mount Valley absolutely exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, his professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise were unmatched. The work he did on my subfloor and crawlspace encapsulation was top-notch, thorough, precise, and clearly done with pride. He was prompt and did an excellent job communicating expectations throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was his exceptional customer service. He took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical skill with such genuine care for their customers. If you’re considering crawlspace work or subfloor repairs, I highly recommend Nathan at Mount Valley for great quality and service! ~Donnia Shelton

Completely satisfied with the job Groundworks did. They gave me a quote and stuck to it. They installed a total of five piers in two days (Zach, Kenny & Jorge). Notice the shrubs in the picture were not removed or hurt. While they don't guarantee closure of cracks inside or outside, they did exactly that with the foam injected under the slab from inside the house (Joe). They literally lifted an interior wall with that foam! The guys did a great job. Use them.

Rhys was awesome! He took the time to show us what had been done by the previous owners to prevent water from coming into the basement. Water had come in when the radon company drilled down into the concrete. Rhys explained that there is likely still water under the house due to underground springs, thus water coming up through the pipe that’s supposed to pump out the radon. Rhys was knowledgeable and where he wasn’t sure he researched and did not make up an answer. Very ethical and very thorough! Thanks Rhys! 😄
