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.

Our front steps had pulledaway from our front porch.Your crew of Isaac and Way Lay raised the steps to where they were where they had been before. At the same time they raised part of the driveway and re-caulked the driveway. They were very professional and very efficient. The finished product improved the front of our house.

Working with this company has been a pleasure from the very beginning. Everyone I have spoken to is so kind and great to work with, from the office staff, to the person that came out to give us an estimate and to Tory and Blake, who leveled my air conditioner. This must be a great company who treats its people very well as you can tell by the way they interact with customers.

This crew was punctual and went to work and stayed working until they quit 8 or more hours later. John, Wyatt, Adam and Austin were courteous and attentive to keeping our cats in the house. Their work is good and the walls are straight. The basement is cleaner than it was when they began.

I just received a quote for my basement foundation from one of the most personable, professional, and patient Serviceman I’ve met in a long time. He was able to answer all of my questions in a way in which I could fully understand. The inspection was very thorough. I am very happy that I was able to be connected with this Groundworks!

If you need foundation work done, do yourself a favor and request Jay Yount at Tar Heel Basements. I had several companies come out, and Jay was the only one who approached my sagging floor issues with real expertise and a no-nonsense attitude. He spent hours carefully analyzing the problem and provided an honest, straightforward assessment with zero pressure. It's clear he takes pride in his work and values doing things the right way. More companies need people like Jay, and if his management is smart, they'll make sure he's moving up.

Sending out solid thanks to a great crew! Travis Clark, Brian Eskridge, Justin Geigling, and Tyler Davies… anyone would be lucky to have these guys working for them. Very down to earth, approachable & respectful. They took time the time to explain the process fully, including any concerns our family had during the renovation… They treated our home as if it were their own, making sure the job was done right. I appreciate and respect the professional, human nature with which they completed the job. Travis… great communication. Always took time whenever I called. Reliable, honest, his heart in the right place. Made sure the thing was done right. Hard to find this kind of help these days… Kudos and gratitude to the whole crew ~ Thank you guys!

I had an exceptional experience with James Headlee from Groundworks. From the moment he arrived, his professionalism and efficiency were evident. James performed a incredibly in-depth inspection of both our home’s exterior and the crawl space, leaving no stone unturned. What really set James apart was his transparency. He took the time to show us his measurement tools, explaining exactly how they work and what the readings meant for our home’s health. He provided a thorough explanation of his findings, supported by plenty of photos, and gave us ample space to ask questions without ever feeling rushed. If you want an inspector who combines technical expertise with genuine patient communication, ask for James.

I used FSS because it was listed in the Best Pick Reports. My foundation repair began on Wednesday, October 23rd and was completed on Thursday, October 24th. My repair crew consisted of Earle C, David H, Robert T, and Moses I. These young men arrived at the time they said that they would or earlier. Earle was the team lead. Earle took the time to answer my questions, was knowledgeable, and provided reassurance. The construction team were very respectful of my property, and were courteous.

Tom came to our house to look at a failing retaining wall. He was prompt, friendly and courteous. He spent a lot of time studying the issues and working with their team of experts to find a potential solution. Ultimately, they informed me that there was none. I knew going into the appointment that this was a distinct possibility and applaud them for their candor and honesty. A lesser company could easily have offered a sub- optimal proposal that would not have solved the problems and cost a lot of money.

We haven't "pull the trigger" yet, but from the initial call I made to Scott driving off, every part of the appointment was awesome. They have tools in their arsenal to make anyone jealous. After examining our "situation" carefully, Scott went to his truck for about 15-20 minutes and came back with a presentation that wowed my wife and I. He explained everything and tried to taylor the estimate to our budget. He absolutely WAS NOT pushy or overbearing with the bid packet. The information he left us more than explained or answered our questions (not that we had any). Scott and Groundworks are polite and professional.
