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 are happy to leave an outstanding review for Kevin A and Harley for the work they did for us to stabilize our concrete slab. They went above and beyond to complete the work on a Sunday with very short notice. They were very willing to explain all of the procedures and answer any questions we had. They were polite and conscientious. They left everything clean and took careful attention to look out for walls and baseboards. We would definitely recommend them to others and use them again for any future needs.

Groundworks did great work for us! Our sidewalk caved in after our yard/pipes were fixed, and Groundworks came out and lifted the slabs, filled in gaps, and supported the rest of the sidewalk. They were very reasonably priced, communicated well, and worked quickly. I highly recommend!

My new 'water control system' (drains, sump) were installed yesterday as Hurricane Helene visited the Blue Ridge Mountains. My crew (Jason Butler, Raijohn Metcalf, Stacey Scott, and Joel Woodley) met the storm head on! What a fantastic job. They were there on time (this is a big deal for me), knew the job, had everything needed to do it, and got it done! They were courteous, careful, and tremendously hardworking – even as the water seeped in through the foundation. Amazing. I would totally recommend this crew and JES Foundation repairs. This hopefully solved a 30 year problem and the new system will give me back a big section of my basement – soon to be a Man Cave. If it handled a hurricane, it will handle anything.

In October we contacted Groundwork’s for a home inspection of the foundation. We were contacted by Darren Breen. We explained to him our concerns and after his inspection, he explained our options, We decided that our best option was foundation stabilization. Darren explained this procedure to us in detail and a date for this job to be done was set up for February. In late November we were advised the necessary City permits has been obtained and the job could be started December. We were contacted by Amanda, project manager advising the date the work crew would be arriving and the project would be completed in two days, as advised the crew arrived on the assigned date. The crew was courteous and professional they answered any questions my wife and I had. The projected as stated was completed in two days. The crew did a good job cleaning up when the project was completed. Everyone that we had contact with from Groundworks were very professional and kept us apprised of everything that was being done. It was a pleasure doing business with all involved, A Job Well Done

We had Mt. Valley replace our main beam, another beam, and some subfloor. Dan was the project manager and was easy to sit down with and discuss exactly what I needed and didn't need right now. Dylan and his crew finished the job in 2 days and worked their butts off. They also did a great job cleaning everything up when they finished. Our house and floors are finally level and we will be using them in the future for any foundation repair needs. Thanks again!
