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.

Jeff Garber from Groundworks/Underpinning was AMAZING! Let me just start off by saying, we did not pay anything for our walkthrough/inspection. I've been a realtor for 18 years but this was for our personal property in Walnut Creek and I was extremely worried we were going to hear from Jeff that we need to do six figures worth of work. We have experienced some shifting in our floors, walls, thresholds and I was CONVINCED we needed major repairs. However, Jeff brought us a huge sense of relief by not only telling us we didn't need any major repairs and what we were experiencing was normal for our age home. From my extensive experience working with vendors, they almost always push some sort of work, unnecessary or necessary. I can't thank Jeff enough for his honest evaluation and helping me sleep at night again after 2 years of what felt like constant worry. It just goes to show, there are still good people with values out there. And, I can tell you when that time does come, he will be our first call!!! Jeff thank you for your true professionalism!!

We had Amanda Bradburn come out to our house for a foundation issue and she was the absolute best about it. Not only on time and very professional but straight to the point which I appreciated. She is a straight shooter who will get you moving in the right direction. She went above and beyond to make sure our problem was taken care of, not just the portion she had to do for her job. I would only recommend her to come see what you need. Thanks Amanda!

Ground Works did an amazing job from the initial inspection to the installation of the piers. Chris was the initial contact who explained everything in detail, respected me as the customer and was not a high pressure salesman. The crew, James, Paul, Tyler and Phillip were awesome! They kept me in the loop and let me watch the process as they performed the lift and stabilized my porch and basement wall. They left a perfectly clean job site and made sure I was completely satisfied. Supervisor Kyle even came out during the project and was extremely informative and supportive of the crew. Overall, a great experience!

Nick and Isaiah came out to level our drive and it was a great experience. They were though with going over problem areas and explained things that might have caused our issues and gave suggestions on how to make improvements.

Russell Chilcote did a great inspection and let me know what was needed for mold remediation in our crawlspace. Juan R., Alejandro S. and Ce'sar B. did a fantastic job removing all of the old crawlspace insulation, putting in the new insulation and cleaning and removing the old mold on the wood beams. They caulked all of the seams and added insulation to fully fill in the entire space. Highly recommended.
