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.

Josh called on his way to the house got here at the earliest time in the window of time given to us by the company that he would arrive. Came right in was very pleasant knowledgeable and got to the route of the problem. Not only did he fix the seal on the leaking toilet but also noticed a bigger problem and called a water remediation company while at our house to come out right away to access and potentially remediate any problems we have with that! Very professional and helpful and quite concerned about doing the right thing! We couldnâ  t be more satisfied!

Sofia Gick and her crew were amazing!! She was very professional, communicated with me every step of the way, respected our home and worked hard! JES is blessed to have her, she is an incredible asset to their company for sure! To have a crew of strangers in your home for a week can be unsettling especially with the stress of major repairs but I felt very comfortable with Sofia and Stacey Scott. Stacey was also helpful in explaining things and respectful. I truly appreciate their professionalism and their hard work. They worked well together to get a big job done with timely and quality. Tyler Dunford was also a big help to them on the last day in helping them complete the job on time. They exceeded my expectations! We are very happy customers! Thank you to Sofia Gick & Stacey Scott!

This review is for Jon Geddie with Mountain Valley Foundations, and I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the very first phone call, Jon was professional, courteous, and attentive. When we scheduled the appointment, he showed up exactly when he said he would — which already speaks volumes about his character. But what really impressed us was what happened next. Jon didn’t just “look around” and throw together a quick estimate. He took his time — real time — to thoroughly inspect everything. He crawled underneath the crawlspace, carefully examined the foundation, inspected the cross members, and checked every area where there could potentially be an issue. He was methodical, detailed, and incredibly thorough. It was clear he genuinely cared about understanding the full scope of the situation rather than just selling a service. We originally reached out for an estimate on encapsulation, but Jon made sure no stone was left unturned. He explained what he was seeing in clear, understandable terms — not technical jargon that leaves you confused. He broke down the pricing step by step and walked us through financing options that are available. There was zero pressure. Just honesty and information. What really stood out to us was his integrity. Jon didn’t rush us. He didn’t push us. He didn’t make us feel like we were “just another job.” He gave us space to think, answered every question patiently, and made sure we were comfortable and confident in what was being discussed. He even pointed out additional services and features the company offers that could benefit us in the future — not in a sales-driven way, but in a helpful, informative way. Beyond his professionalism, Jon is simply a great human being. He is knowledgeable, respectful, well-mannered, and genuinely pleasant to be around. We actually sat down and enjoyed lunch together while he was here, and at no point did he seem rushed or distracted. That speaks volumes. In today’s world, it’s rare to meet someone who blends professionalism with such authenticity and kindness. Jon is reliable, trustworthy, and follows through on what he says he will do — and then goes above and beyond. You can tell he takes pride in his work and in representing Mountain Valley Foundations the right way. If you are considering any foundation work, encapsulation, or related services, I wholeheartedly recommend Jon Geddie. It’s not often you come across someone who combines expertise, integrity, and genuine care the way he does. We are grateful for the time he spent with us and the confidence he gave us moving forward. Outstanding experience from start to finish.

Sales rep: Shane/Joe Crew: Diego & Jessie Shane and Joe were great to work with. A day after Shane's visit I changed my mind about doing the driveway and added some work to the backyard patio instead. Diego and Jessie did a good job raising some of the shovel catches along some of the sidewalk sections. They also filled a big void under the front door steps. They filled the big cracks along the rear garage foundation and along the backyard patio too. They also cleaned up after themselves after the job was completed. I am very satisfied with their work and my experience working with them.

Alpha Foundations did such a great job! I truly enjoyed working with them. Tyler Greg, Tristan, and Ryan were the crew who came out, and they were so kind, helpful, and courteous. They answered all my questions and made sure I was completely satisfied before they left. I loved working with them! Lance, our field inspector, was also incredibly nice and made sure we understood all the details clearly. It was such a great experience working with this team. Thank you all so much — I couldn’t be happier with the experience!
