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 recently needed to resolve a water issue in my basement. After requesting a few different companies come out for quotes, Foundation Recovery Systems rose to the top. They determined a waterproofing solution while also finding a major structural issue that needed fixing as soon as possible (that had been overlooked by the previous company). Clifford, the foreman, and his crew, Rylee and Emanuel, were great! Cliff provided clear communication at every step of the job, and he offered multiple solutions when an issue arose. The entire team was beyond respectful, friendly, and committed to doing the best work possible. I was even asked every day if the time frame of the work fit within my schedule and needs. While structural and water issues with a house are stressful, Cliff and the team's words and actions put my mind at ease. I'm very pleased with the results, and I would definitely recommend FRS.

Terry Bentz drove at least an hour and a half to take a look at the foundation of my home. I feel bad about that when I could have probably just him one picture and could have diagnosed the problem. Mr. Bentz knew what he was doing and did an excellent job explaining certain concerns and potential fixes. He was honest and said his company doesn’t offer the certain fix and recommended another. Good communication and a great company.

These guys are great. I had the service done last year and the slab sunk a bit. I was worried they wouldn’t honor the warranty but I was wrong. They came back and their service tech Micah Jackson got me all set up with a return visit to correct the problem. Great customer service.

We had a very positive experience with the crew from Groundworks consisting of Foreman Gabriel Amaya, and crew members Juan and Rodrigo. Gabriel was courteous; the work was done efficiently and professionally. The Foreman communicated with us regularly during the course of the week-long project. They made every effort to minimize the disruption to our household and schedule. We have every hope that our water problems have been solved.

We just had AFS out to do a lot of foundation work and work done on our crawl space. The crew that came out Evan, Aldo and Jorge were fantastic. They were very friendly and professional. They left the worksite clean both days they were out and finished the job early. Upon inspection everything was done exactly as it was suppose to be. They even went above and beyond with ensuring all of our concerns were taken care of before leaving. Their great attitude and great customer service were refreshing. They walked us through in detail everything they did and we could not be happier with the work. I highly recommend AFS if you need any foundation work done.

We have an old house on a hill, which has a lot of underground streams. Over the years the soil under our foundation has destabilized, causing one side of the house to sink. We talked to a lot of foundation contractors, but it was Matvey that really impressed us. Their attention to detail, and proper approaches (including engineering reports, load calculations etc) was fantastic and reassuring. They worked with the city to push through permitting, and kept us well updated on that process. The solution we needed was metal support piles under the foundation on one side of the house. Marco and Eduardo, the install team, were amazing. Really knowledgeable, friendly and great workers. They did an awesome job of installing the foundation supports, and left the area they were working in cleaner than before they came. Matvey were not the cheapest quote we got – but we felt that their approach was the best, and most thought out. I’d also argue your house foundation isn’t an area to cheap out on 🙂

Kevin Macdonald was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough, taking the time to explain everything in detail clearly and patiently. He didn’t make me feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely takes pride in their work and customer care, but Kevin absolutely does. He has earned my complete trust and will always have my business. Highly, highly recommend!

Craig did a great job on the assessment for our property. It was a thorough evaluation, made on time, very respectful and systematic. They definitively consider the variety of factors that need to be taking into account and provide a timely response for what is requested. Craig did a great and professional job – thanks!
