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 2 segments of work done: (1) adding piers to the front foundation of our house, and (2) adding a beam and some piers in the crawlspace to a center section of the house to better support some interior walls. We were very impressed by everyone at Tar Heel Basement Systems from beginning to end – from the initial analysis and proposal to the actual work to follow-up. John Reavis was very professional, thorough, and knowledgeable when he performed the initial site visit and put together a proposal for us. He was also very good about following up and communicating in general. Both crews who did the work were very confident, professional, and courteous. They really seemed like they knew what they were doing and took their time to make sure it was done right. They also were very good about communicating arrival times and progress on the 2 projects. Everyone we spoke with at the office was very helpful during the whole process. In particular, we had multiple interactions with Morgan about scheduling, arranging payment, and follow-up paperwork. We had some bad weather when the work was originally scheduled to be done, but everyone stayed in touch with us and made rescheduling easy. Tar Heel might be more expensive than some other options, but this is a case where you truly get what you pay for. We can't imagine anyone doing a better job.

The JES team: Christopher Gonzalez, Joel Larios, and Arcy Parra, were great, very professional. I was curious about the process of placing piers in the ground to stabilize my foundation and Christopher walked me through the whole process explaining the work they were doing and what to expect along the way. I like that their work has a lifetime warranty as well.

I requested annual service on our sump pump and dehumidifier at the end of January. I was able to get an appointment within a couple of weeks. Adrian attended the service call; he has been out to our home for both annual service and troubleshooting issues in the past. He is an excellent representative for the company. He is extremely thoughtful to the client, respectful of our space and my time, attentive to the details when passing on his assessment of our equipment, and also in answering any questions I had. He provided additional information when asked and took the time to explain the options available both in potential upgrades, the assessment of urgency, and the options for service subscription to save money.

Kornbread and Zeke did a wonderful job addressing the excessive moisture issue in our basement by installing a moisture barrier and dehumidifier. They also installed a grated irrigation system to drain excess water. The job was done professionally and on time. The company is highly recommended.

We were lucky to work with Kalen for our quote to prevent further foundation damage in our 1960s home. He was very helpful in answering our questions, providing an overview of what was going on with our foundation, and various options for addressing the issues. Jesus Sanchez and Jose Ramirez came to execute the first half of the job and they were respectful, knowledgeable, and left our home clean. Great experience so far!

From start to finish, everyone at Groundworks was very professional and easy to work with when I needed three support posts installed in my walkout basement. Pricing was waaaay better than I thought it would be. Mitch W came to check out what I needed and provided an estimate on the spot. He was able to work with me to adjust a few things to my liking. Eric O, Westley P, Colby S fully explained things along the way and were able to answer all questions I asked. I would highly recommend you contact them before you hire anyone else, even if it’s just to get an estimate to make sure your contractor is giving you honest pricing.

We recently utilized the services of this company to stabilize our foundation with work done inside the basement. The initial contact to give us an overview of work needed and an estimate of repair was done by Nathan Heidenfelder, who spent a lot of time explaining everything and answering our questions. Our work crew consisted of Travis Clark (crew leader–phenomenal), Brian Eskridge, Justin Geigling, Tyler Davies, and this was a hard-working crew! Tyler called every morning to say they were on there way; they always showed up on time and were professional and courteous. They covered surfaces ahead of time, to minimize all the dust, and cleaned up the works site after the job was finished. It wasn't an expense we had counted on, and it was not a small amount, but as my husband likes to say-'you get what you pay for'. Would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone needing their services. One company we contacted for an estimate–Woods Basement Services–didn't even return our call…..

Today, Tar Heel Basement Systems raised and stabilized my front concrete walkway, and it was an excellent contracting experience. The crew of Jess W. And Zach B. were punctual, called in advance with their ETA, and were professional and competent at their craft. They explained what they would be doing, completed the work being careful of my property, and ensured my satisfaction with the finished repair. I highly recommend them for concrete lifting and stabilization.
