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.

We had JJ out to look at our property. He showed up 10 minutes early and was very professional. He helped us understand the fundamental problems with water coming into our basement. He guided us in the first steps necessary to keep our basement dry. I would recommend JJ to anyone! My husband and I appreciated his honestly and directness. Groundworks is lucky to have him as an employee.

We had an emergency with a broken sump. Daniel Cippone came out the same day to look at it. He was able to work with Groundworks to get a team fix it within 3 days. Thankfully not much rain until the day of the fix. We had two amazing men , Ade and Vandyke, completely fix and repair two sumps. They were exceptional. Rob Trevison came by as well to oversee the work being done by these two exceptional men. Thank you very much for a job well done. More expensive than we were hoping but the peace of mind is worth it.

I recently had French drains installed on my property to address drainage and water‑pooling issues, and I wanted to provide a clear assessment of the work. Overall, the project was handled with solid workmanship and attention to the details that matter for long‑term performance. Michael did the initial inspection and recommendations. Roger and his crew (Juan, Mikey, Erik) began by identifying the proper drainage path and ensuring the trench had a consistent slope so water would naturally flow away from the house. The trenches were dug cleanly and to the correct depth, and a proper gravel base was laid before the perforated pipe was installed. The pipe was positioned with the perforations facing downward, which is the correct orientation for capturing groundwater. A high‑quality landscape fabric was used to wrap the pipe and gravel, preventing soil intrusion while still allowing water to pass through. This is a step that many installers skip, so I appreciated that it was done correctly. After backfilling, the surface was graded to ensure water would not pool above the system. Summary: The French drain installation appears professionally executed, with proper slope, correct pipe placement, clean trenching, and thoughtful finishing work. Based on the results so far, the system should provide reliable drainage and long‑term protection against water buildup.

This is based on Quote only. We have not had work completed yet, it is scheduled. He did take a long time with us going over everything so we knew exactly what he is planning on doing. He also explained the difference in materials he plans to use with different parts of the job. The services they offered was above what others was offering even though their prices were a little higher.

Kurk was prompt and, like every single person we’ve dealt with at FRS, very professional. He is a thorough job and was very helpful. However, not happy to learn, 1-1/2 year after repairing my driveway, with the understanding that this was guaranteed for 5 years , that now an annual service plan is recommended so an additional and unexpected cost.
