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 moved to Tallahassee from West Palm Beach where I was born and raised. A crawl space is a new thing to me which our new home has. I kept seeing the Alpha Foundation commercials and how they could encapsulate and protect it. So I decided to give them a call and be proactive against any future problems. I have been self employed my whole life, and customer service is paramount to me! From my initial call to meeting with our salesperson Dallas, to our very professional, prompt excellent installation crew (Zach, Omar, and Jaydon) this has been a pleasurable and great decision for our new home. I highly recommend this company and the peace of mind using them will give you. Now our crawl space feels like “Space Station Alpha”, thank you Alpha Foundations!

Alpha Foundations did such a great job! I truly enjoyed working with them. Tyler Greg, Tristan, and Ryan were the crew who came out, and they were so kind, helpful, and courteous. They answered all my questions and made sure I was completely satisfied before they left. I loved working with them! Lance, our field inspector, was also incredibly nice and made sure we understood all the details clearly. It was such a great experience working with this team. Thank you all so much — I couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Foundation Systems of Michigan sent out the crew members of Jonah **, Logan **, Gabe *., and Bryant *. to put in a supplemental beam and several jacks to firm up the support of our home’s foundation. We appreciated the communication with Jonah, as he let us know the crew was on the way this morning and let us know when they would arrive. He also touched base with us several times during the process to update us on their progress, explaining the process, showing us photos of the work being done in our crawlspace, and answering any of our questions. The crew seemed to work very efficiently, and made good time in finishing the job earlier than we expected, leaving the worksite clean!

The team was awesome. Marland H, Raymond D, James W. They were fun to talk with and did a clean and outstanding job. They worked hard and quick and left the job site clean. Fantastic crew. The week I got the system installed I got 2” of rain. Not one job of water in my basement. Before the system, it could be .3” and I’d have water flowing in like a river. Would recommend if you get water in your basement.

We were in need of a repair to our front porch/sidewalk landing which had developed a crack at the connection point, and would require a lift of the sunken portion. I reached out to two repair companies for an inspection and free quote. The first appointment was with JES Foundation Repair and their representative, Blake Snidow. From the wording and "tone" of his very first text, I was already impressed with Blake. The phone call with him that followed was as equally professional, pleasant and kind. We set up the appointment for him to come to the house. He assessed our situation, suggested the probable cause and explained how it could be properly fixed so that the possibility of it reoccurring would be slim to none. He clearly explained the process, the product to be used, the anticipated time of repair and answered our countless questions. He did an exceptional job of diagraming, photographing, inspection of the entire perimeter of the property, the yard soil itself, and probably more that we didn't even pick up on, all so that the repair team would have the best possibility of knowing what to expect upon arrival. He listened ever so patiently and was very sensitive to our concern about a possible exorbitant cost, since we are retired seniors now on a fixed income. He led us ever so patiently (without pressure) down the path of all considerations and possibilities, including various payment options. He was not in a mad rush to price and run, but took time to not only ensure that we were completely comfortable with every aspect of the job to be done, the contract wording, and payment arrangement, but to also allow us time to get to know one another. I cannot say enough about how impressed we were with this young man. It was so refreshing to see such maturity, honesty, superb communication skills, respect, patience, sincerity and kindness at his age. What a remarkable representative for the company Blake is! We felt so comfortable with the whole process (which ultimately led to the signing of a contract for the work to be done) that we decided to cancel the appointment with the other company that was scheduled to come a week later. Our job is set to be done in a couple weeks, so we cannot yet speak to our satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the completed job; however, we both feel very confident that it will be done right and to our standards. And we are both VERY picky. It was so wonderful to meet you Blake! Keep up the great work!!
