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.

My experience was good. I needed a specialist to detect a leak in my kitchen that was ruining my floor. "Lee" was sent out to check for the leak and found a slow leak coming from the old radiator in the kitchen. He gave me a price quote to cut and cap the leaking pipe and remove the radiator. He scheduled another appointment to have this done for a few days later. Everything went fine and I am pleased so far. I would recommend this company. They were very professional and polite.

I recently hired Groundworks to replace a deck post, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Paul and Roman are professional, and knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done. As I was not at home, they took the time to explain the process to my wife and answered her questions with patience and clarity. The quality of their workmanship is top-notch—the new deck post is perfectly aligned, and they even took care to ensure that everything was cleaned up afterward. I recommend Groundworks to anyone in need of deck post replacements. Thank you for a job well done!

People all around me suggestes no one else but Bakers. Tysean Lacks and Richard Riley completed a VERY thorough job digging in the front of my house and installing beams in the basement. Being that I was ignorant of the details, Mr. Lacks explained every detail while Mr. Riley carefully replaced objects of the yard. Believe me! They did a FANTASTIC job! I feel so much better now that my home is more stable. Thank you!
