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.

Caleb and Tyler did a great job. They did their best to avoid any damage to tiles by lifting in adjacent areas. Groundworks honored my 5 year warranty by re-lifting right at the 5 year mark after some further settling. I highly recommend Groundworks!

I want to recognize Greg Johnson for several reasons. Greg was the inspector who looked at my home due to several concerns we had with our crawl space, home foundation, and water issues in the basement. I walked in expecting standard “cliche” sales tactics from this company knowing how big they are. Instead, I walked out truly knowing my home. I wish I brought Greg to my home inspection lol. He was knowledgeable (extremely knowledgeable), was extremely objective of what I needed and what I didn't need. He was forthcoming – you need to do this soon and this can wait. He explained how the homes foundation worked and explained when to be concerned. He even came back the next day to thoroughly check the crawl space when it was light outside. He took detailed photos and explained everything. In todays world of pushy sales people, Greg demonstrated that hes in this business for the right reasons. I hope his senior leadership group all the way up to corporate headquarters see this message and can recognize Greg.

Best crews I had ever hired. I hired Alpha Foundation for two jobs: Helical piers installation under the foundation, and polyurethane foam injection in the concrete patio. They came on time with professional equipment. They explained to me what they were going to do and what they might need. Both crews – Piering crew: Steven, Chris, and Brandon, Poly: Garrett and James were very friendly, professional, polite. They were very efficient and made sure all work sites were cleaned up after the work. They were very patient with all questions I had. I’d recommend this company to anyone as they’re professional and easy to work with from the beginning to installation procedure.

We have been in our home for such a short time and my wife and I started seeing cracks in our walls. We had another “reputable” Company come out and give is a bid on what they thought needed done. Doing our due diligence we contacted FRS to have them come out. My expectations were minimal. I could not have been more wrong. Cesar came and assessed, diagnosed and thoroughly walked me through what was actually going on with our home and his Integrity and professionalism was outstanding! Thanks to Cesar and his honesty, we will be using FRS for all our work and recommending them to anyone that needs Foundation work in the future. More specifically, Cesar “The House Whisperer” Munoz!
