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.

All in all, a great and easy experience. Weather got in the way initially, but the company was wonderful in rescheduling and completing the work. My initial meeting with John Lopez was thorough and all parts of the process were made very clear, and Aaron Lenker and Corbin Gillichbauer got the work completed quickly and with absolutely no mess afterward! Very, very pleased!!!

Rico and his crews came out today to do some poly work on a sinking slab. Our patio had been experiencing differential settlement due to poor compaction prior to placement. Injection of the poly raised the low end over two inches which brought the patio slab to a much usable level. Rico's team was great, was respectful, and did a great job cleaning up when they were done. I'd definately recommend Groundworks.

First and foremost, I have had quite a few contractors come to my house to complete various repairs for me in the last few years. I've had contractors of all sorts come here, and leave my home in all states of repair and disrepair, with varying degrees of respect and disrespect. I have to say, with the exception of my roofer from another company, the foreman and contractors Groundworks sent for were of the absolute highest caliber I have seen since becoming a homeowner. Michael, the foreman, was always clear, concise and professional, constantly giving updates, taking reasonable requests and answering all my questions with the highest level of consideration. The four men on his team, Victor, Tyrell, DT and Chris, were all extremely courteous, hard workers, and all five gentlemen handled my home repair with a level of care, cleanliness and respect I have only had the pleasure of witnessing once before. Michael, Victor, Tyrell, DT and Chris, you all did an excellent job, and we really appreciate the effort and communication put forth by your team and by Groundworks itself. Truly, thank you, for communicating about and caring for my home as if it were your own. Excellent job gentlemen, may you all receive a raise!

We recently had a crawlspace encapsulation by Tarheel Basement of Winston Salem. John Reavis came out to do an inspection. He was professional, and did a thorough inspection of our crawlspace. He answered all our questions and offered solutions without pressure to buy. We knew after meeting with John that this was the company that we wanted to do business with. Crew leader Brian Carey along with Leo and Stephon did a great job making our crawlspace look great. They showed up on time and Brian went over the work details for each day. Eric Townsend also came out afterwards to check the equipment. Everyone with Tarheel Basement was great. We could not be happier with the result and we are so happy we chose this company!

I hired Groundworks for foundation work and had a positive experience. Starting with the inspection by Aimee Payne who took the time to explain the issues with my home and the proposed detailed solution. The installation crew Timothy M , Mike B ( external work- installed piers and Angel who completed the polyurethane injections inside) were all professional, courteous, and worked efficiently to complete the project. What I appreciated most was the quality of workmanship. The quality of the foundation repair work appears solid, and the warranty provided added peace of mind. The project was expensive, but foundation repairs are a significant investment. The crew kept the work area clean and  Timothy M answered my questions throughout the project. The completed work appears to be high quality, and I feel more confident about the condition of my home. Communication and scheduling was seamless. Everyone was punctual and timely. I am satisfied with the results and would recommend Groundworks to homeowners needing foundation repair or related services.
