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.

With very few crawlspace rehab professionals out there, we were pleased we chose JES. In late May 2024 we sat down with their sales person Corbin. There was no pressure selling, and our original need was pricey enough that we were glad sales didn't try to upsell us on unneeded waterproofing. Our 1950s stick and nail built rambler had floors heaving and door jams and interior non loadbearing walls sagging. We needed and Corbin agreed to having the old insulation removed, cleaning (w/ safer mold spray we had before encapsulation), encapsulation, dehumidification, 10 new footers dug, 10 proprietary ss lally jack supports for steel joist supporting I beams, new insulation, retro-fitted duct work, and access door installed. We didn't get the mold spray done. The sealed access door was left off the contract, but JES provided that for no added charge. At times communication was difficult with the staff and main office contacts, but the team really made up the difference in the work efforts. Shout out to Daniel Yacila., Alexander Falcon, and Pedro Llontop for all your hard work!! They completed the job a day early in extreme heat and were courteous and professional throughout. All this work does not initially give a cosmetic payoff, but immediately we saw the subtle hints of support correction throughout the original 1950s flooring. Now we can realistically redo the floors on a newly secured joist support. Manny Chavez and Rudy from the management side were responsive and helpful.

Although my circumstances were unfortunate in needing foundation work done on my home, I did have the fortunate luck of having the best crew of Clem, Dylan, and Damien, come and complete the job. Even though there were a couple of unforeseen delays, Clem kept in constant contact with me to keep me updated, as well as explaining everything that was being done. The guys also went above and beyond to not disturb the landscaping or remove bushes, which would have definitely left an unsightly picture. If you find yourself needing foundation work, I highly recommend you request these gentlemen if at all possible. They made the experience a lot less painful to endure.

CJ was great. He called prior to appt day, discussed with me what he would be doing upon arrival, he even came early before scheduled appt time. Once he arrived he introduced him self, gave some background on the company. He throughly explained the issues my foundation was having and why. Showed us the measurements and the options we had to remedy the issue. Overall he was very thorough, not pushy, and a pleasure to do work with.

We were extremely satisfied with the service we received from Alex Campbell and Manny Erickson. The entire process was explained very thoroughly and they told us exactly what was happening throughout the process. Their setup and execution were quick and efficient. They cleaned up so as though you wouldn’t have known they were there. We hope to not have to have foundation issues in the future, but we would absolutely use this company again.

Ground Works crew for helix screws placed under our sagging sun room were fantastic! They made every attempt to minimize damage to our two neighbors yards by placing plywood for 6 trips under their backhoe for each trip! A huge thank you to Matt Doerfler, Adam Bellach and Caitlin Hove on a job very well done as well as respecting our neighbors yards while performing your tasks!
