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.

Christian Rudd, Benny Esparza, & Christia Parrish were the team of guys who came and took care of my waterproofing project in my basement. Very professional, kind and knowledgeable young team of men who worked efficiently and effectively to get the work done. Shay was my inspector and explained the process well and helped me to understand what was needed. The team had obviously communicated with Shay so this streamlined the process and all were impressive. I’d recommend this team to anyone. Good job, AFS Chattanooga! And thanks!

Jared was assigned to do the annual reinspection of our crawl space waterproofing. He explained everything he would do and got to it. He said the previous work that was done was still in good order and there are no signs of mold or leaks. He explained one observation he found and offered suggestions on how to fix it but didn't pressure me with an upsell at the moment. He also walked around our home to look at the foundation and let me know there were no signs of exterior cracks. Jared is knowledgeable and efficient, with the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. Aquaguard has another winner!

Our home is going to need over 15K in foundation work so as consumers we want to feel good about the quality of the work we will be getting done with AFS. We would recommend Tony and AFS to anyone who needs home foundational work done. Thanks again, Tony!

Blake, Dmarreo, and Jeremy delivered excellent service from start to finish. They were a pleasure to work with – friendly & professional, engaged, knowledgeable, and committed to their work. Initially, they identified issues with the job for us that we were able to resolve, and then completed the work on schedule. The finished work meets the engineer's specifications, the job site was left clean and orderly, and the final walk-through was not rushed but very thorough. The installed product repairs the foundation issue and increases the value of our home.

I had an excellent experience with Bay Area Underpinning, thanks to Steve Kagin and his unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. The project faced some delays due to the City of Oakland, which was entirely out of his control, yet Steve went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. Steve Kagin isn’t just a salesperson; he’s a true problem solver who genuinely cares about getting the job done right. The project was ultimately completed within the expected timeframe, and I couldn’t be more impressed with Chris and his team. They provided daily updates, detailed explanations, and pictures, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bay Area Underpinning, and if you have the chance, I highly suggest working with Steve as your sales representative and Chris as the manager on-site. You’ll be in great hands!

Christian of JES came to my home 01/20/25, and did a thorough, fair and honest consultation of my crawl space and foundational structure. He was professional and amazingly knowledgeable on my concerns as well as standard and code practices/violation. He spoke with care and understanding as opposed to financial gain which made my adult Son and I feel at ease with the estimates presented. Christian is the best and I HIGHLY recommend him for my family and friends!

Dakota and his crew (Tre & Sarah) did absolutely top notch work. I had a couple of estimates to address the water and mold issues in my crawlspace and I decided to go with AFS because of the professionalism of the sales rep (Chris) and the attention to detail he paid to my project. The installation crew was great. Communication was perfect and expectations were exceeded. Highly recommend them to anyone needing their services.
