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.

The crew was here this week to do my basement. Jai'Sean was a great foreman. He kept me updated. When he found things he could do differently he talked to me about them to make a decision. Terry & Grant were great teammates for him. In my opinion, it was a lot to handle but they did it in 2 days. Bracing, trenching, vapor barrier, sump pump, dehumidifier, etc. But they were highly effective. I have mobility issues so Jai'Sean showed me a ton of pictures when they were done since I couldn't go to the basement. I highly appreciate everything that did in working with me. And Amy was there for me to text if I had any questions too. She was fantastic to work on the quote with.

Did not have any work done yet. They sent Howard for an inspection. Super knowledgeable. Honest (rough) estimate of scope of work to be done due to house leaning with cracks in walls. Based on Howard's knowledge and experience we need to discuss options for corrections. Thank you Howard, it was nice to meet you.

Dan Rubenstein came out to give us an estimate last month. He was very knowledgeable and prompt. The information he shared was not just specific to the problem I called about, but generally helpful to better understand potential solutions and other areas of concern I did not even know about. I appreciated his time very much!

I was trying to sell my home and, upon receiving an inspection, found I had a bowed wall in my basement. I called Groundworks. Sergio Robles came to my house with his equipment. He was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. He explained and demonstrated the problem so I could understand what needed to be done. The price he quoted was very reasonable so I signed up to have the work done. A couple weeks later a crew came out. It included Emanuel V, Luis V, and SaAung P. They also were very pleasant. They worked efficiently and had the job done quickly. They had to cut out drywall and I was very happy that they cleaned everything up. The dirt outside was put back and the house looks great inside and out. Thank you Groundworks for a job well done.

Louis Dave Christ and crew did an amazing job! They worked so hard for 3 days repairing and waterproofing my basement. Everyday they cleaned everything before leaving, sweeping the entire basement and foyer. They sprayed all the mud off my driveway and porch. Every morning Louis asked if I had any questions and showed me the completed work before leaving. I am so impressed with them. When the project was completed I could see he had a sense of pride in a job well done! Thank you for your hard work.

We hired Ohio Basement Authority to waterproof and dry out a damp cellar/basement at a historic home of ours. The stone walls and mortar were slowly crumbling. They inspected the foundation, explained all options to us, and completed the entire project in just 2 days. Everyone was very professional and easy to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing similar services. Will use again in the future.
