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.

This team is fantastic! Mark first came to my home, assessed my needs and proposed a solution. During the preparation stage, Mark and other members of the team stayed in touch. On remediation day 1, Silvino contacted me regarding his arrival time. The excellent communication continued over the 2 days they were in my home. His team was polite, professional and extremely clean. They minimized the intrusion in my life, which isn't easy when you have jackhammers in your basement. Upon their exit, Silvino promised to send photos of the entire process. I highly recommend Groundworks!

We’ve had Groundworks out to our house three different times for foundation issues, and DeVaughn and his crew (Lu & Bleh) have been our favorite to work with by far. We even had heavy rain one day while they were here, and they were really careful not to track mud into the house, which we appreciated. They were super professional, easy to communicate with, and just great to work with overall. Can’t recommend them enough!

We had a service visit from Garrett Williams, and he was so helpful! Even though I've had a hard time getting in touch with the rest of the company (and frankly some frustrating experiences that I hope will be resolved soon so I can change this review!), Garrett has been very responsive and thorough in answering my many questions. He is definitely a great asset to the company. Thanks Garrett!!

Anthony B. was incredible! He was instrumental in getting my basement repaired and safe for my family. He came to my home and spent a much time as I needed explaining the entire process, options, financing and follow-up maintenance. Then a team (Josh A., Jason C., and Blake C.) showed up to compete the work. They were respectful of my home and my time. They completed the work (installation of Intellibraces along two basement walls) in less than two days. My basement was left in great shape. They have me peace of mind that my home is now more stable and my family is more safe. I look forward to them returning to tighten the braces to further secure my walls. I would recommend this company and this team in particular and would be happy to hire them for future projects.

We had great experience with AquaGuard. And while we didn’t get job done with them yet, but Adrian was excellent explaining our home problems and sending us on the right track. He showed us what his company can do for us, but first we had another issue to address. It was refreshing to get professional estimate and not seeing someone jumping right the way to do just his part and leaving us hanging. We are definitely coming back to AquaGuard to fix what we need when we get to that part of the project. Thank you.

The crew we had for this repair. – Camryn H, Joshua F., and Skyler C – were so knowledgeable with what they were doing. They took time to explain what they were doing and took time to take care of our property. They also took time to reconfigure part of the repair so that I didnt lose my pond in my backyard. I have always been happy with FRS work on my home. Would highly recommend them.

I really appreciate Kody coming out today and doing a thorough inspection of our property. At the end of the day, Kody did not try to sell me a service I didn't need. Thank you, Kody and AquaGuard, for your integrity. When I do have foundation issues in the future, I know exactly who to call.

Our sales rep was Kevin Sweeney. He checked our basement thoroughly. He gave us suggestions as to how Ohio Basement Authority could help stop the water seepage and the wall issue. He went above and beyond by offering us a product for wall structural support even though we may not go with Ohio Basement Authority for the water seepage issue.
