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 happy with Foundation Recovery Systems from the git-go. Kyle, the initial contact was courteous and professional, not high pressure. The three young men who installed the basement wall braces, Christian, Adam and Eli, were great! They made sure the flooring and steps were covered and protected, were efficient at their work, and cleaned up well after themselves. As a mother and grandmother, I especially appreciated that last item, cleaned up after themselves! 🙂 The braces look great and definitely give me a secure feeling that my basement walls are secure.

Everything went great. Gage Esry called the day before the original scheduled date and discussed setting up a new service date. Due to the recent snow our state road was completely covered. Set up a new date for a few days later. Thought this was great because in the past some techs just did not show up or even touch base until the day of. We appreciated it. John and Debbie.

Mike Gold at Groundworks called to let me know he was on his way to do an annual maintenance inspection on my sump pump. When he arrived on time , He helped answer questions I had about repairs on my driveway and took a look at the the creepy crawlspace in my basement and recommended a fix for water infiltration. He took the time to explain processes, which I appreciated. He was very personable, friendly and professional. I was very favorably impressed and have scheduled 2 projects with the company. I will gladly recommend Groundworks from previous and for future repair work.

Daniel Cippone from Groundworks was my service technician during my recent visit, and he was outstanding. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain how my system operates. I needed a new sump pump with a backup, and I really appreciated how Daniel explained the products using videos; it made everything easy to understand. I also purchased one of their air systems, and after only a few days, I can already feel a noticeable difference in my home. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and polite throughout the entire visit. I truly hope to have Daniel Cippone for every future service appointment!

We contacted Baker's before we made an offer on a bigger home. The mines had gone underneath, and we wanted to put the work into having a bigger home. Unfortunately, the offer on the home was not accepted, but the CFI who quoted the job was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. He made me safe knowing that the home could be saved by stabilizing the foundation. We are still in the market for a bigger home and if I need any work completed, I will be calling Baker's. They really made me feel secure that I could keep my family safe if any of these situations occurred at my current home or any future homes.

AFS is the only foundation company I will use from now on. Austin came out on very short notice to look at a problem my home inspector missed! Within a couples hours I had a fully written plan to fix my rotten sub floor and joist. Stephen Gilland and Sean Bossaerta came out two weeks later to install new joists and fix my sub floor. Very professional guys, kept me updated along the way and made short work out of a very big problem. Cleaned up after themselves and explained everything they had done. As a new home owner this company is a life saver!

Spencer and Ethan did a great on my small driveway lift project. Although at an additional cost, they went out of their way to grind off some sharp edges and fill in a large joint with calking. I look forward to working with DryPro in the future.

Cracks in my brick outer walls, sheetrock cracks, and doors that would not shut. I knew I needed professional help. Enter Groundworks… I listened and received several quotes to remedy the situation, but the techniques and lifetime warranties led me to these guys. All work was done professionally to include clean up and concrete patches where needed. Most of the cracks have closed up (some drywall mud and paint later) and the sticking doors resolved. I couldn't be more satisfied at this point. These guys do it right….and they guarantee it for life.
