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.

After contacting several companies regarding water seepage in our basement, Groundworks stood out as the only one to provide a truly thorough assessment. Other companies spent about 20 minutes before suggesting quick fixes, but James from Groundworks took the time to fully understand the issue, presenting a solution that addressed the root cause rather than just covering it up. James shared insights that the others missed, demonstrating a level of knowledge and expertise that far surpassed what we had seen elsewhere. There was no sales pressure, no scare tactics—just an honest presentation of the issue and a solution, leaving the decision entirely up to us. While we are not in a position to implement the solution right now, the issue is manageable for the time being. We plan to reconnect with James next year to revisit the proposal and hopefully move forward. Thank you to James for educating us on the real problem and for proposing a solution that truly considers our long-term needs.

I had a bad experience with another basement waterproofing company before we hired Ohio Basement Authority and was very hesitant about who to go with. When Mark came out to give us a quote, he took time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. William and his crew Russel and Levi were amazing! I’m so glad we decided to go with Ohio Basement Authority for our waterproofing project!

Howard Glancy arrived to inspect the cracks we have been observing in our house both on the inside and outside walls. He was very informative and detailed in his explanations that made us understand the root cause of the problem. He also provided us with different financing options that made it easy for us to decide. We decided to move along with the project with Groundworks. This review is only for Howard Glancy and his inspection and quote.

Kevin Estes came out to the house for a crack in the foundation , and did an excellent job in advising me on what steps to take. While there he also pointed out a few things the home inspector missed while doing his inspection. Kevin did a great job and I would definitely refer him to anyone need assistance.

Daylan and Nick are a great team. They called ahead to let me know their ETA and kept me apprised of their progress each step of the way. They are professional and hard working. My basement was not the easiest set-up and they were able to adjust the plan, always getting my approval, along the way. Bakers waterproofing has multiple options to finance the work, making this necessary work easier to get completed.

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!
