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 wish I had hired them first! I hired another company to fix my moving bowed and shearing basement walls. They were primarily a waterproofing company, but said they had the solutions to my issues. 3 months after they were complete, my walls cracked and shifted again. (Note, in the attached photos, the patchwork quilt on the walls was the OTHER company.) OBA fixed my issues the correct way. And they were great at every step. The work crew Caleb, Delontae, and Dylan were fast, efficient, and cleaned up when they were done. Caleb made sure to explain what was happening as they did the work and ask if I had questions. The work was thorough, and I feel good about it. And even better, they'll be out in 6 months to ensure everything is working as it should and make adjustments if needed.

Gabriel Amaya and Mauro Soria were professional and a good team. They were on time, worked continuously throughout the day and meticulous when coming and going through the house. They explained their procedures prior to starting and when the job was completed they showed me what they did. This is the second time we have used Groundworks and have been pleased with their work both times.

This is the second time we’ve used Groundwork’s. Jacob, Richard, Timmy and Christian were here for five days water proofing our crawl space that was filled with water and mold. They completely encapsulated it, added a sub pump and an air filter system. They did an incredible job and communicated daily on their progress and findings. The crawl space looks amazing! I want to give a shoutout to Daniel who showed up on Christmas Eve to inspect it and get us an estimate. Highly recommend Groundwork’s.

Cody was pleasant and respectful. So far, this has been a pleasant experience considering the need to incur such a large expense. I’ve know we’ve needed to do this for a while and am glad I found Groundwork’s to help. I’ve only just completed the initial inspection and proposal but I would expect nothing less great service and amazing work when the work is actually being done. I also love that a this is an employee-owned business. I love that.

Our basement wall had developed cracks in a couple areas and there was also a hard, white crust that developed along the grout lines of the cynder blocks. I was worried about this enough where I called Groundworks to see what they thought. Kevin, their inspector, arrived right on time and looked at the wall in the basement as well at the area outside of the house that's above this wall. When he was done inspecting, and taking many measurements with a laser, he gave a detailed assessment, with quotes, for improvements he recommended. Kevin was very polite and friendly and didn't try pressuring me with huge repair costs. He did a great job explaining what was taking place and developed an effective plan of action with me. I intended to get several quotes for this work but since Kevin's honesty was very apparent, I didn't bother.

I had the pleasure of having Jesse and his co-worker at my home to perform a poly-lift on my old, beat-up driveway. The cracking and amount of sunken slab work significant. The guys worked tirelessly from about 11am-5pm and fixed every leveling issue from the porch to the driveway, and a small part of my sidewalk. The gaps and voids were massive in some areas, and these guys made one heck of an eye sore look "normal" once again. Plus, now I have a functional driveway and patio area, and I no longer need to worry about someone tripping or getting hurt or damaging a car that bottoms out on the sunken portion of the driveway. Between the zero % financing option, priced in the lower half of all the quotes I received, and the 5 Year Warranty for any movement more than 1/4"…this was a no-brainer. Jesse and his counterpart did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend Foundation Recovery Systems to anyone looking for an affordable alternative to a complete driveway tear out and repour.
