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 just want to give a shout out to Micah from Groundworks! He came to our house today to do the semi annual inspection and was so courteous and professional that it really made me feel totally comfortable having him in my house. So many people complain about workmen and contractors that I really wanted to say this is a company that prides itself on having knowledgeable technicians and their professionalism He also suggested something amazing to me. He suggested that we get a device that measures the progress of foundation cracks. We have a few foundation cracks due to years of Water in the basement. He was not trying to upsell anything as these devices are very reasonably priced and able to be purchased through Amazon. We have not had any issues with water in our basement since having our system installed in the basement. We can now actually use the basement because it is not damp or smelly. This is the first time in years we can have clothes hanging up and not worry that there is going to be a moldy odor about them. I highly recommend this company for peace of mind with any water issues you may have in your house. And thank you again, Micah!

Our home was built in 1959, with a crawlspace and a wood floor/subfloor that was starting to warp and sag. Alpha Foundations took care of us. David W. educated us regarding all the technicalities of the crawlspace encapsulation, equipment, and process, and explained how the jacks would correct the un-even floor. The crew (Jonah, Malik, Tammy, and Andrew) were outstanding, courteous, efficient, proficient, and the communication was great from start to finish! Thank you all for a wonderful job!

Even though Ohio Basement Authority doesn't do the type of construction work we needed to be done, they couldn't have sent a nicer guy to represent them. Tony Elzholz called us when he was in route to our home, let us know when he was arriving and arrived at the exact time of the appointment. A genuinely nice man from a great company that we would definitely call and recommend if you are having issues with your basement.

We had a great experience with Aqua Guard Foundation Solutions, especially with our service technician Zyan. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and made sure all of our questions were answered before leaving. It’s hard to find technicians who are both skilled and personable, and Zyan definitely exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Aqua Guard and ask for Zyan if you can!

I would like to leave a review on what a great company Foundation Recovery Systems is. I had water leakage in the basement and their inspector/sales representative Joe Bevis was so knowledgeable and didn’t just use bandaids (so to speak) to fix the immediate need; he addressed the whole situation to fix the whole problem. Joe Bevis was also involved in scheduling, and rescheduling due to weather. Greg, Andy, & Cody worked around my schedule calling when they were on their way, and when they arrived. They did a great beautiful job, and their clean up was immaculate. Joe, Greg, Andy, and Cody are an asset to Foundation Recovery and Foundation Recovery Systems are blessed to have them. I will be their biggest advertiser by word of mouth as to what a great company with dedicated hard working employee’s they have. I am happy and impressed. Thank you Foundation Recovery Systems for taking care of me and my need.

I just watched Robert and Chase drive away after 6 days of facing a tremendously challenging and downright nasty crawl space repair – they tackled the job with a positive attitude and left this 105 year old home stable and ready to weather another century. The honest and open communication of the entire crew coupled with their demonstrated confidence and competence was all the reassurance I needed to know this job was done to the highest of standards and will stand the test of time. Thanks beyond measure to Lee J., Robert S., Chase M., Kaden D. and Tanner W. – you guys are absolute rock stars. I would recommend FRS – Moberly not only for their skill and steadfast work ethic, but also for their kindness, up-front honesty about what the job entails and their willingness to ensure the job is done right for the best future of your home. Photos: The first three photos will give you an idea what they had to endure. That last photo demonstrates the massive improvement – I’d *almost* be willing to go under there myself now! After a couple of pending plumbing repairs the encapsulation will be complete, but it’s now a safe and clean crawl space for work to continue on this old piece of history I call home.
