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.

Had a free estimate conducted with Ryan Howard. Ryan did a thorough walk thru. Ryan was so professional. I felt very comfortable visiting with Ryan in my home. Never felt pressured into anything during our visit. It was my decision after visiting with Ryan and about this company that I would have the work done by Foundation Recovery Systems. It was also very consoling, I was given several options that would work for me. I am so excited to finally get my basement water proofed. Ryan, thank you for easing my mind for this project. You definitely represent this company with high honors.

Hollis was the representative who walked the property and detailed the issues. Many issues beyond what I understood to be the problem I called to address. He was professional and did a good job advising me on what problems I had. OBA has a pretty good setup of information to explain why things settled, and his their project can fix the problem. I did sign with them for work to be done.

The project: install drainage to a yard basket from two gutter downspouts and a sump outlet. Everyone we interfaced with was great to us – Sal gave us the quote, Steve in production got us taken care of for utility marking, and José C. and Rigoberto were great installers. Our property was left very clean and José and Rigoberto were very professional. The price was fair as well. The only reason for four stars instead of five is internal communication within Groundworks. We had scheduled the job a few months prior, but utility marking was not complete by the install date. The install crew had outdated plans from an earlier proposal of scope and the quote in their system didn't match the copy we had received when we signed. That said, when we got ahold of the right individuals everything was ironed out and overall we are happy with the work.

I had a team in Northern Virginia led by Manuel G. and including Jose C. and Luis T. They replaced 2 sump pumps and put 2 piers at the footing of my chimney to stop it from moving. The crew was friendly, professional, and informative. Manuel discussed a couple last-minute changes to the work that simplified it and saved me money. It passed inspection on the first go and I'm very satisfied with the outcome.

I recently had the pleasure of working with TJ from AFS Foundation Services for an inspection of my crawl space in Louisville, Kentucky. TJ was incredibly thorough and professional, addressing several concerns including water intrusion, termite damage, and mold/fungus issues. He also pointed out rotting wood and cracked floor joists, all of which were explained in detail. His clear explanations and expert advice were invaluable in helping me understand the extent of the issues and the necessary steps to address them. I highly recommend TJ and the team at AFS Foundation Services for their dedication, expertise, and outstanding service. K&A Groves Middletown, Kentucky

Our home was built in 1959, with a crawlspace and a wood floor/subfloor that was starting to warp and sag. Alpha Foundations took care of us. David W. educated us regarding all the technicalities of the crawlspace encapsulation, equipment, and process, and explained how the jacks would correct the un-even floor. The crew (Jonah, Malik, Tammy, and Andrew) were outstanding, courteous, efficient, proficient, and the communication was great from start to finish! Thank you all for a wonderful job!
