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.

My husband and I were pleased on the simple process that took place in regards to our diagnosis and the crew that serviced our home. Kornbred and Ansley were professional, pleasant and cared about the beginning to the end of the job they completed for us. Took it to the next level while explaining the product installed and a detailed list of everything done. We would recommend the company and crew to anyone from kornbred to Ansley to our customer representative, Jackson who initiated the job.

Had Jamie Tobin drop off his card on my door and mentioned he could fix our driveway. He was very responsive when I finally reached out and he came to the house. He answered all my questions and gave a very in depth presentation that covered a lot of information I didn’t know. I would highly recommend Groundwork’s and Jamie to anyone looking to repair their driveway or garage. Top notch guys!

We had Groundworks over to the house to install a radon mitigation system. Phil was very thorough with his walk-through and quote before the work was started. Andrew and the installation team worked quickly and efficiently. They were early to the job before our scheduled appointment on the day of installation. They left the work site very clean. They were friendly and knowledgeable. We are very happy.

The team at Alpha Foundations did an incredible job encapsulating our crawl space. This team listened to our concerns, and truly went above and beyond to deliver a system that has brought peace of mind to my wife and I. The special attention brought by their production manager, Daniel, and our salesman, Eric, made this project a success that not only adds value to our home, but defines the term 'customer service.' Our most humble thanks to Alpha Foundations!
