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

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.

Eric Ramirez and Ryan Langdon were great—courteous and communicative. They worked hard to repair our driveway and porch. It’s such a vast improvement. Thank you, Groundworks. If your concrete is not too damaged I recommend this concrete lifting and joint sealing product to preserve your driveway and hardscape areas. The team is great to work with too.

James, Paul,Tyler,Wesley were my team and they were very informative. They showed me pictures of the end job. Everything looks as specified and as expected. They we're all very nice the foreman in training Wesly, was very polite and expressed his knowledge very well. The foreman James made his calls on time, kept me informed, did a great job of thanking me for working with them. Very professional crew. More than anything I never heard anything negative from any of them, they appeared to be having fun as they were working heard some laughter from the crawl space which it's not an easy crawl space. It put a smile on my face to see that they enjoyed what they were doing. I would gladly recommend them to any of my neighbors, and if you folks wanted to place a sign in my yard I would much appreciate it. It helps you and it helps me to advertise that I had the work done and that you're the ones that did it. Thank you very much everything about the whole project was easy from beginning to end. This was a house that was built in the 1880s it's not a large house but I like the old girl. Thank you so much. Merrilee Loder

AFS did a great job from inspection to completion for my very humid crawlspace, house support, and encapsulation. Kyle did the initial inspection, very thorough, took his time, and was very accurate with each suggested need-to-do when I got a second opinion. Daniel’s installation team was amazing, nice and professional, clean work site, didn’t leave any scrap of trash really the whole week and at the end. Indoor air quality one day after is amazing. Thanks guys!

Estimate Process: I contacted 5 foundation companies for estimates. 1 – Never returned my call, text, or email. 1- Looked at the job but forgot the laser level and never returned. 1- Gave a verbal quote and never sent a written quote (did not use a laser level). 1- Used a basic laser lever, quoted to install piers on both sides of the house, and did not have financing options. Jared W. with Foundation Recovery: *Spent more time than any of the other estimators. *Used a high-tech laser level to determine that only one side of the house needed piers. *Respectful to my wife and daughter. (And Dogs) *Clearly explained what we had to do to prepare the job site for the crew. *Provided a written quote before leaving. *Did not try any high-pressure sales tactics or make a decision now discounts. Decision: Even though Foundation Recovery's quote for 1 side of the house was near the same price as the company quoting both sides, I selected Foundation Recovery because: *I was more confident in Jared's assessment. *The lifetime transferrable warranty. *5-year annual check-up of their work. *Financing options. Other positives: *The electronic signature process for financing and contracts was convenient with my schedule. *I received emails and texts confirming the dates and process leading up to the project. Installation Crew: Deshon O, Justin D, and Matt M were respectful, professional, and great at communicating. They were always working and never standing around. ( I am an Operations Manager and have worked in the plumbing and sewer industry for 27 years. I would hire any of the 3 in a heartbeat.) The whole experience was great, but Deshon is definitely a rock star. * He called every day when the crew was on their way. *I received a text showing their GPS location as they drove to my home. *Reviewed the project before starting * He listened to my concerns about the heavy rain in the forecast and modified the project schedule to minimize the number of holes around the foundation during the rain. * He communicated when heavy rain and the blizzard delayed the schedule. * CrewTook time to remove excess large rocks in the excavation * He reviewed the final work and answered my questions. *Sent job progress pictures of the job. Quality Assurance: *The crew used the same high-tech laser level to mark the house for future follow-ups. *I received a follow-up call from Dalton to make sure I was satisfied. Message to the Managers/Leaders at Foundation Recovery: You have great employees who appear empowered to perform their jobs and take care of the customer. I am assuming you treat them very well, provide competitive compensation and a great working enviroment. PS. I would hire any of the 5 mentioned in this review on the spot to work with me.

They were exceptional in every detail of our exchange. I was notified of when my specialist was on his way. I was given notice when unforeseen circumstances arose and was even offered a solution to solve it. The estimate they offered, at no cost to me, was done thoroughly. Many pictures were taken and all were explained to me in a patient and respectable manner. They were friendly, knowledgeable professionals through and through. It would be a pleasure to work with them again. -Thank you Mr. Rhett and thank you Mr. Keith.
