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 was extremely pleased with the work that the men from JES foundation did. We had water seeping into our basement and they came and installed a french drain and also did some work with our gutters to extend them far out. Abdul W. found a root from a bush that was pushing against the wall and cut it off so it would not be an issue. He was very informative and educated me as the work was being done and pointed out problem areas they were going to fix along the way. The other men, Nilhon R. and Walter F. The men did a great job overall and cleaned up all of the mess afterward and I would highly recommend them.

Rico did a great job on my 30-year-old driveway! He carefully confirmed the job to be done, then did it well. I was impressed by the people at Groundworks. They also made it very easy for me to make a decision, by giving a fixed price for concrete leveling, unlike other contractors I contacted.

Had a sunken garage floor. Traditional repair would be to rip out the floor and pour new concrete. Groundworks as able to lift the existing floor with their polyurethane technology and save a lot of time and expense! Great job Russell and Liam!

I called Indiana foundation service and they called me immediately back or should I say I filled out a form on Facebook I got a call from Richard . He set up an appointment for today so within 48 hours I had an appointment. He arrived when he said he was going to, he was very professional and so friendly.hat He showed me all my problems going on in my basement I felt so good about all the information that he went over with me. I'm going to have his company fix my issues and finally be done with a wet basement. He's been here almost all day long explaining things going through details answering all my questions and my fears. He did an awesome job ! I would highly recommend Richard and the company he represents for anyone with basement issues. Hopefully all the other people that work at this company have the same personality as he does, because he is very friendly, professional and it was a joy having him at my house! I look forward to having my basement dry . Thank you, Richard Flores
