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.

Please see the earlier review (3/12) for context. I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Mt. Valley Foundation Services regarding our sump pump installation. Overall, the team did an excellent job with both the initial installation and the subsequent repair of the discharge lines, which had come apart over time. They were professional, transparent, and truly seemed to care about the project. The only challenge I encountered was not with Mt. Valley Foundation Services itself, but rather with its parent company, Ground Works. From my experience, Ground Works has acquired many smaller foundation companies across the U.S., and it seems they may be struggling with logistical coordination. The call center they use is not very user-friendly, and I experienced multiple miscommunications and scheduling errors. Unfortunately, this puts Mt. Valley Foundation Services at the mercy of Ground Works' logistical issues. That said, I highly recommend working with Mt. Valley Foundation Services. My advice is to obtain the names and direct contact information of the service team when booking—this makes future communication significantly easier. Once I was able to reach the team directly, they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Living in a flood-prone area, I feel confident that the sump pump project they completed will be a tremendous benefit to our home and property. A big thanks to Danny (the manager) and his team for their outstanding work!

We had an excellent experience working with Logan Watson from Groundworks Canada. Logan conducted an extremely thorough inspection of our crawlspace and took the time to carefully walk my wife and me through his findings in a clear and reassuring manner. He explained not only the current conditions, but also practical steps we can take to improve the overall health of our home. What we appreciated most was his attention to detail and his genuine concern for our family’s wellbeing. With a 1 year old baby boy at home, indoor air quality and a healthy living environment are especially important to us, and Logan made sure all of our questions were addressed thoughtfully and honestly. Logan was professional, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend him and Groundworks to anyone looking for a comprehensive and trustworthy home inspection.

Project was completed when scheduled. Marco M., Noel G., John M. were the guys that completed our basement waterproofing. They were prompt, professional and hard working. They completed the job efficiently and turned out better than anticipated. Would definitely recommend their service. Before and after pictures. We had paneling up that had to be removed(reason for 2x4s).

Tim M., Mike B., and Ian J. were all professional, and fast contractors. They kept in communication throughout the process, and showed me whenever they’d reached a milestone, giving me peace of mind and reference for how much time they would need for the project. They even replanted the shrubs that had to be removed from the sites. I would absolutely work with them again in the future, and recommend them for your projects.

I had a subsidence problem that was addressed by a multi-pronged approach, a series of push piers to stabilize the perimeter of the foundation and central supports to level central beams of my home's frame. The house is now stable. The crews that did the site work were careful of my property, courteous, and showed no aversion nor complaint to go the extra mile to hand dig where it was obvious that the heavy equipment could not be brought into my fenced-in property. The communication throughout the process was great and sales support was responsive and helpful. This company hires, respects, and assists veterans.

Tim was very thorough and efficient. He was here on time, considerate of my privacy, even offering to help with moving some heavy items back into their original position. He explained what he had done and alerted me to possible changes in the foundation. I am more than satisfied with his demeanor and efforts. Ralland (Ron) Fortier

Approximately 2 years ago Bay Area underpinning repaired my foundation settling. Aston Price representing the Service department came out for a follow up validation to ensure all was still as expected. Upon completion of his audit he reviewed the detailed results with me and next steps in the process for one minor localized adjustment. His customer oriented approach, professional yet personable attitude is a continued testimony why I chose Bay Area underpinning over the competition. Richard Eagleston

Groundworks has maintained our sump pump since I moved into my home in 2018. Denis Goncharov was our technician this year and he was kind, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any sort of housing question. He also made friends with our cat. 🙂 Highly recommend. Thanks, Denis.

Having no experience handling foundation problems, I was super concerned and overwhelmed. When James Frunzi from Groundworks came out and explained the problem and worked with me on a plan that works, I felt so much better about everything. I appreciated the time he spent to help us through this difficult time. Definitely recommend!
