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.

I recommend Bay Area Underpinning for an important reason: honesty. After careful inspection, their agent, Richard, told me the truth, which was that my crawlspace was fine, that I had no problem with moisture or settling. And then he took the time to show me why. He could have tried to sell me on doing a lot of work, but he didn't. This kind of honesty is impressive! Call Bay Area Underpinning to inspect your crawlspace. You can trust them. If they say it needs work, hire them to do it. I am almost sorry I couldn't!

We just concluded the first of two jobs for underpinning our 30 year old home. We will end up with two jobs because more was found to be done when Brandon and team showed up and realized the pinning placement was not 100% accurate. They adjusted the estimate to reflect the new placement and resubmitted the permit at no additional cost to me. We will be requesting more work be done in the near future so that we can raise the floor and level it out. For now we have underpinning in place that stabilizes the situation, secures our foundation so that no more damage is done, and we are pleased with that outcome. Kudos to Brandon and his team for adjusting on the fly and not accepting adequate but providing excellent service.

I was with busy dog for many years and I have been happy with their outcome of changing providers, but the company was bought from Groundworks and I have met with a new technician to service my sump pump. I met with the new customer service representative Robbie F. that came out to my house to service the sump pump and he was excellent, smart, knowledgeable, upfront, and worth doing business with again. I hope he comes out for the next visit. Definitely more helpful and knowledgeable more than anyone that has come out I hope company reaches out about extended service plan purchased for 3 year might want to do 5. If you need help call get them to come out highly knowledgeable

This was my first foundation issue and I didn’t know what to expect when I inquired on the website. Gregg came to my home within just a few days of my inquiry to view the issues. He was prompt and professional and brought the right tools to see what we were dealing with and to propose a proper solution. We talked through plan A and what plan B might look like. He sent a quote over for plan A within 24 hours that I felt was very reasonable. After sitting on the quote for a couple months Heather reached out via text to see if I was still interested in having the work done. I was glad she did and worked with her via text to get this project scheduled and funded. The date we set was several months away, but Heather reached out again one week prior to the appointment we had made to confirm. The morning of the appointment Wayne called to let me know he was on the way with his crew. They arrived on time and got to work finishing up faster than I expected. Within 2 hours they had lifted my slab back to level and cleaned up after themselves. My door opens and closes again. The wall cracks shrunk down to almost nothing and the ground around the problem area lifted up which should help with drainage. Overall I am very pleased to see this done and done so easily. I didn’t need to worry as much as I did. The communication and professionalism of this team was top notch!

Groundwork’s is awesome. The staff is friendly, smart, and very humorous to work with. We spent a couple of days with Hunter, Joseph and Carter. They were so respectful and polite, they did a fantastic job of leveling out our driveway and garage floor, Hunter even went out of his way to cut some broken concrete so we could replace it. We are very happy customers.

I hesitated to choose JES over other companies, but in the end I am so glad I chose JES. Very happy with the service I received from the pier crew and mason crew. Gustavo and Conan were wonderful to work with as foreman and the pier crew of Luis A., Jose C., and Eduardo C. were amazing as well. The workers were courteous, the work was as advertised and they were very respectful of the property. Honestly could not be happier.

Juan, Alex, and Hayden recently encapsulated our crawlspace. Juan explained the process and reviewed the scope of work before they started. I expressed concerns about a couple of items not specifically mentioned in the contract and he assured me they would handle it. When the job was complete Juan and I inspected the entire space. It was clean and they did a professional grade job. This crew was great to work with.
