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.

Ben and Andrew were out today and did a great job re-leveling my front stoop, along with supporting my apron and caulking, cracks and gaps. Both of these guys were excellent at communicating, and explaining in the end result speaks for itself. ****update**** Ben and Andrew came back to adjust the walk way as it was sagging a bit, they came out and took care of it and I am satisfied, and Steven was easy to schedule. Great company and ease of scheduling along standing behind the product

We had a floor support beam and settlestop push pier system installed. AFS installation crews did a great job. But, I must give the push pier crew of John S., Ivan G, & Edger P. an A+++++ for their work effort. They explained step by step what where doing. AFS you have a group of hard working young men. Thanks guys Bob & Carol P. Crossville TN.

I've used Alpha foundations now two times. Tory was my technician before and I requested him to come back out to look at another project I was doing and wanted him to see if I was having settling issues. It ended up being normal settling but he did recommend doing preventative stabilization. Tory & Christopher did an excellent job and did find some voids in the slab so I'm glad I had them do the preventative. They were very knowledgeable, professional and they clean up after they were completed. I would highly recommend having these two guys evaluate any concrete / Foundation settling issues you may have. This is the second time I have used Alpha and had the same technicians do the exact same quality work from the first time.

We are doing some renovations to our house and decided that in order to do them, we finally needed to address the obvious foundation repairs necessary to do them correctly.  I performed a Google search for foundation repair companies in the Houston area.  Foundation Support Specialist was able to schedule me for that very same day. Brian E. was the field inspector assigned to give our house an inspection and estimate for foundation repair.  We received notification about 20 minutes prior to his scheduled time by text messages and a phone call, stating that he was on his way. Brian arrived precisely at his scheduled time and was courteous and friendly.  After he introduced himself and told us about his company Groundworks (formerly Foundation Support Specialist), he went over a checklist with us to get some history of our home.  Afterwards he explained how he would be inspecting our house and what exactly he was looking for.  He got to work and was very thorough and professional during his inspection.  He measured and drew up a scale diagram of our house, then proceeded to use his Ziplevel to take altitude measurements of the floor throughout our house.  His measurements showed that our foundation had sunk almost 2" on the NW corner of our house. He showed us a slideshow on why foundations settle, common practices to repair, and how Groundworks repairs foundations.  When he was done, he gave us 3 levels of estimates.  A minimal necessary repair, A mid range estimate, and a high end estimate that included extra piers on the SE corner to help support the opposite side of the slab from the repairs.  He explained what each level included and answered any questions we had.  Brian spent about 2 hours with us and all in all it was a pleasant experience.  We have 2 more companies coming out in the next week to give us estimates, and unless they use a similar pier into bedrock system and drastically lower price, we will most likely choose Groundworks for our repairs.

I had a great experience with Bakers Waterproofing today. I used their concrete lift service on my driveway and front sidewalks. The team I had was awesome. Aaron Lenker and Anthony West were fantastic. They were very professional, friendly, and efficient. Aaron reviewed the work ahead of time to make sure we were on the same page and based on his experience we avoided some potential problems. After watching the process I can say Aaron was a real artist at the lifting process and Anthony was a pro at the joint sealing process. I’m very happy with the results and the professionalism of the entire Bakers experience. I’ll add pictures soon.
