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 piers put in over the last couple days. The inspectors (monitored our home over a couple years prior to beginning work) Ryan L. and Anthony G. took their time doing detailed and thorough inspections, then explained their data and discussed options with us. Our pier project crew was excellent. Jake was very informative and professional in leading the project. Omar and Juan did a great job with precision work and left the site tidy. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks!

The specific project is floor stabilization with minor lift but that isn't an option so i picked encapsulation instead (which K do intend to gave Tar Heel do, down the line). Jay Yount was great salesperson and Ceritified Field Inspector. Foreman David P and crew mates Ernesto "Nestor" and James C were knowledgeable and efficient, arrived on time and got the job done in two days. Results of the floor stabilization were communicated to me clearly before, during and after the work was performed. All my expectations were at least met. Would definitely recommend Tar Heel to friends and family.

Over the last year or so ago, a metal support that was attached to my porch broke away when the screws rusted through. After this happened I noticed that there was a significant gap between the porch and the support. I wedged in some rocks to stabilize the support while I tried to figure out what to do. Then, recently, I heard an advertisement on the radio for Groundworks, and thought it might be a solution. So, I met with AJ, who was very friendly and thorough, explaining the process, the financial aspect and answering my questions. Also, based on his advice, they were able to include stabilizing and sealing the cement pad in front of my garage. I set up the appointment, and a few weeks later I received a confirmation call from Zech. The next morning, Zech and Jacob arrived, introduced themselves and reviewed the job and addressed any questions and concerns I had. A couple of hours later, the job was done and it looks great. The porch looks better than it has in a very long time. Plus, the support is now lined up with the porch, and all I'll need to do is bolt it back down. I'm extremely happy with their work, and take comfort in the multi-year warranty. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Davon Phillips and Oscar Rodriquez did an amazing job yesterday. I had 5 piers installed by them and you would not even know I had work done on my home based on how well they cleaned up afterwards. No landscaping was messed with and everything was put back just the way it was. They were punctual and clearly communicated before the project started and once completed with me. Great job!

From start to finish everyone was great! Our pool deck was sinking and the team used the Poly product to secure and level the slab. The sales agent MICHAEL MULLEN was very clear and professional. He took extra time to answer any follow up questions and I knew exactly what to expect the day of the job. The installation team BRANDON WELLS and NICK CAIN were very polite and professional the day of the job. They took time to discuss the job before they started, during and after it was complete. THANK YOU ALL! VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT!

The original downspout drainage system around our house was inadequate resulting in wet areas all around the basement. Colin Hall came out, did a thorough review and prepared a professional and detailed CAD drawing of his recommendation for reworking the system. The crew of Diego Rodriguez, Sergio Aniya and Dumien Files (apologies for any misspellings) were about the hardest working bunch of guys I have ever seen. There were courteous and upbeat the entire time. And they were creative as well in making on-site modifications to the plan as needed to insure proper drainage. I would not hesitate to recommend JES Foundation Repair.

Our office was experiencing groundwater problems in the basement and we were ultimately directed to Groundworks. From the initial inspection to completion of the project, everyone has been very concerned with making sure the job was done well, but also that we were pleased with the end result. The inspection revealed foundation issues due to the groundwater and drainage failures. Derek E. was our estimator and was a huge help on the budgeting and planning process. Josh L., Brendan K. and Lee N. were onsite for the project and were upfront and communicative, professional, and very conscientious to not damage anything even though we fully anticipated having to make some cosmetic repairs. I was even more impressed when they repaired a sprinkler line after we had been made aware that we would likely need to take care of that. I had some minor communication issues with the scheduling office, but nothing that affected the project. Supervisor Eric B. made sure the walkthrough had gone well, and the project was completed to our satisfaction before the team left the office. Groundworks is clearly a leader in this field for a reason, I would recommend them to anyone, and would be happy to use them again should the need arise.
