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 booked Calgary Groundworks July of 2025 to preform poly jacking & crack repair on my front concrete steps & driveway . They were supposed to do it before Oct 25 & before the ground freezes. They had problems getting new service trucks from Ford & cancelled me until May 2026 . I started calling them May first 2026 & informed them that I had given them a deposit & I have a signed contract & when were they coming in May ? They said I would go on a list for sometime this summer. I informed them that I had been waiting a whole year and was told I would be one of the first done first wk in May 2026. I called several times and was told the crew is busy & they will try to fit me in , I told them that they know this is a small job for them half a day at best & surely they could take care of this small job . The dispatcher or coordinator put me onto an actual crew & they phoned me to say that they would call & try to fit me in . This review is to Highly recommend 10 out of 10 for the 2 field crew Yughurtha the foreman & Christan his assistant !!! Without their constant communication with me over a week period , this small project would have not been completed . Yughurtha & Christan had problems with their equipment at other job sites and with their Calgary office sending them to other projects rather then mine , they went out of there way to come over at the end of a work day to see if they could get the job done , it started to rain so we agreed they would come back next day to do the job . The next day they were re assigned another project and Yughurtha called and said he was told he had Togo to other jobs by his coordinator & I would have to wait another few weeks . Yughurtha said he was sorry because I have waited a year & was getting the run around from the Calgary office . He told me as soon as he had a job that went fast he would fit me in , he kept in constant daily contact with me & finished a job and came over & completed my small project . This would have not happened if it had not for this field crew going above and beyond to get this job done . When I would called the office I was told I am on the list & that was it . 1. Groundworks calgary needs to have the person answering the phones have the coordinator or dispatcher get back to me rather than putting it onto the field crews to do all the excuse's for the office . 2. They should have at least 3 spray guns per truck , instead of cancelling because the one and only spray gun kept breaking down . 3. This review is about the 2 field staff that went above and beyond to supply customer service where the Calgary office did not ! 4. The job was completed in the half a day and the workmanship was excellent , again the Calgary office has to support their field crews to the maximum because they are first line contacts with the customers . I live in an over 55 semi retirement community and all my Neighbors were over to see the work being done & I am sure Calgary Groundworks will be getting more business from this community. 5. The work is completed & this review is not a complaint on the Calgary Groundworks field crews , it is to bring light to the office that coordination & pre sold work should be their primary focus ! Thankyou Gordon & Linda Guenette

We had the best onsite crew (Joe, Chris and Jauan) I have ever dealt with. They were courteous, knowledgeable efficient and left the property as clean as they found it. Their work looks great and I tend to believe Mount Valley will stand behind it if we have any problems in the future. If Mount Valley is as good as their workers proved to be we will be extremely satisfied….Thanks

I have used Foundation Systems of Michigan (now Groundworks) since 2014. They fixed foundation leaks back then and installed a new sump pump. Since then, I've had them out every year to service the pump and inspect the foundation. Their technicians are always excellent – professional and experienced. The technician who came out this year, Marshall, was fantastic. He had done prep work for the service call before arriving, which made the visit that much more efficient. The reasons for his recommendations were presented clearly. All in all, it was a visit that reinforced my strong positive view of Groundworks. I'm glad that I chose them over 10 years ago and will certainly continue to work with them in the future.
