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 needed some leveling done and called Ohio basement authority first. After speaking with Charles, I didn’t even call anyone else. I had a sidewalk out front that needed to be leveled and a concrete patio out back that was cracked and uneven. John and Ethan did an absolutely wonderful job, they were friendly, polite and professional. No more worries about somebody tripping on the sidewalk and we will enjoy the patio for years to come. Thank you guys!

We called Mount Valley last Friday to get an estimate on some foundation repairs that have gotten progressively worse. They scheduled an appointment that day for Wednesday of next week. Dino Rhoads was the technician who came to assess the issue. He called to let me know exactly when he would be arriving. He was very considerate and polite and had a vast amount of knowledge. The assessment took several hours and I was amazed at how thorough he was in getting exact details so that he could best create a plan for us. When he finished looking at, around, and under the house, we sat for at least an hour where he shared pictures of what he saw and explained in detail what they indicated. I never got the feeling like he was trying to sell me anything that I didn't specifically ask for and need. Dino showed excellent professionalism, and an exceptional knowledge of our situation and the best ways to remedy them. I'm very impressed! I would absolutely recommend their services! And, ask for Dino!

My Dehumidifier Konked out and I called AQUAGUARD since they previously encapsulated my basement crawlspace. Jackson Waldrop was sent over to assess the situation and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. He was right on time and was the nicest guy. He filled me in on the issues and explained the options needed to address the issue. He had the equipment needed in the truck and took care of the project quickly. It was nice to get this issue resolved quickly by a qualified professional.

I have used Groundwork’s when they still used the name of Doug Lacy’s Basement Systems. They redid my whole basement in March of 2021 , took out my concrete , installed 3 sump pumps, cactus board , drain mat then repoured my concrete, even draped my walls they worked hard and did fabulous work. In May of this year 2024, the community I live in had a full sewer system during a massive rain storm resulting in sewer back up into my basement, in a panic I called Cody Lacy. He has always been a person who I can call or text and he always answers. He sent a guy out immediately. His name I believe his name was Mike but he worked hard in the pouring rain to redo the sump pumps and directed them outside. Mason came after because I did not want the sump pumps back into the town sewer line and gave me a quote to redo all the pumps and added discharge lines to be burried In sept 3 men came down to Raymond named Anelolni, Andrii and Lavin, they worked harder than you can even imagine. It was a very hot day !!! They hand dug both discharge lines ( one on each side of my house ) burried the lines then covered them back over. They were amazing hard workers I will give Groundworks a huge 100 percent in everything they do. They have done a Lot for me , they are reliable and responsible and I feel safe knowing that I can call them any time that I need them I definitely highly recommend them to anyone!!! Anywhere !! My name is Lori Heggie Seely
