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 just had Wade Siler come take a look at my house's foundation. We were seeing cracking in the corners of our doorways and on our garage door. Wade checked every corner of our house's foundation, all around our troubled areas. Come to find out the foundation was in good shape. He proved it with a laser level. The interior issues appear to be from vibrations in the house causing the cracks. The drywall needs some expansion joints. The issues outside around the garage door are from the lintel beam sagging. Again, he proved it with the laser level. Wade was super honest about everything and I highly recommend him coming out to take a look at your house even if you have just the slightest concern about foundation issues. Thanks Wade!!!!

Just took the free estimate visit. Stan Caylor was a gentleman. He patiently discussed all the possible approaches to my patio issues. He then drew my home’s foot print and, using specialized equipment, showed exact level at ten or twelve points. I highly recommend Stan.

We had Josh Kennedy come by to give an estimate for adding 5 posts and reenforcement under our kitchen floor that after 38 years had tilted a bit due to rain seeping in from the deck under the kitchen. Right away I could tell he is a very knowledgeable expert who understood the issue and gave us an estimate that we accepted same day. Today 2/6/2025 his technical experts Dave Santiago & team came and finished the job perfectly in under 4 hours. Remarkable people, honest, straight forward, no games, value for the money; worth the ~$9,000 spent. I'd do this again if I had another home! Sorry, tried a few times to attach photos but I failed! Highly recommend Josh Kennedy and Dave Santiago – truly well trained experts for your ground projects.

Just had foundation work completed with a crew from Groundworks. Jefferson, Francisco, and Jose Alexander worked hard all day and did a fantastic job. They made sure that the steel piers were placed correctly and my house was raised up properly. Once the work was finished, they cleaned up the area.
