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 recently had foundation work done on my home by Foundation Recovery Systems, and I cannot say enough good things about the crew that handled the job—JT, Nez, and Luke. From start to finish, they exceeded every expectation I had. They were professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each step of the process in detail. What stood out the most was their willingness to let me observe and ask questions along the way. Not only did they do excellent work, but they also made the experience stress-free and even enjoyable with their friendly and approachable attitudes. It’s clear that they take great pride in what they do, and it shows in both their workmanship and customer service. If you’re looking for a team that is skilled, respectful, and truly cares about their work, I highly recommend Foundation Recovery Systems—and especially JT, Nez, and Luke. Their professionalism, expertise, and outstanding customer service made this an exceptional experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew or company to handle my foundation work!

Michael Burgess provided a professional inspection and cost estimate for encapsulation of my 3 room crawl space as well as re-insulation of the areas. Not only was JES the best price but also was able to do the job right away completing it the same week. The crew that did the job was amazing, working all day in miserable weather conditions yet completed the work seamlessly. A shout out to Freddy Zavaleta, Jesus Baires, Juancarlos Gamarra and Irvin Garcia — they all exceeded expectations! Thanks to all.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kyle R. from Ohio Basement Authority on a challenging basement project, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. While the job took longer than initially expected due to unforeseen complications, Kyle's commitment and professionalism never wavered. He consistently followed through on every promise he made, keeping me informed and at ease throughout the process. Kyle was joined by Slade R. and Bryan K., who were incredible teammates. These two were hardworking, reliable, and just as pleasant to have around. They worked tirelessly, never once slowing down or losing focus. The team as a whole was exceptional, and their efforts were truly appreciated. What stood out the most, though, was Kyle's attitude. Even when problems arose, which inevitably happens with a job of this magnitude, he maintained the most positive and professional demeanor I’ve ever encountered with anyone working in my home. He approached each challenge with a smile, finding solutions without letting it affect the quality of his work or the rapport he built with us. Kyle is the kind of worker you don’t come across every day. If I had to pay double to have Kyle back for every project, I absolutely would—it’s that rare to find someone as dedicated and trustworthy as him. Overall, I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience and the results. If you’re looking for a team that will treat your home with the utmost care, work tirelessly, and deliver outstanding results, you simply can’t go wrong with Kyle, Slade, and Bryan.

Rana from FSM came out today to look at a preexisting encapsulation installation that had issues with molding. She has a wonderful personality. She was able to explain the problem, recommend a solution (while being honest) and give me a estimate on how much to fix it. Love being able to schedule appointment online. They confirmed with you before they came out, texted when they arrived and texted when they left. Definitely would recommend Rana and FSM if you have a crawl space in need of help.

Groundworks was great! They came out after our crawlspace flooded and were able to determine the cause quickly. After getting a plan put together they were able to get a crew out the next day. They were so nice and did an amazing job! Our crawlspace looks so good now and I feel confident it will be protected from water in the future.

Josh and Dylan are a great team. I watched most of the process and noticed how efficiently they work together. The leveling met my expectations, and the crack repair exceeded them. I was expecting a bright white filler (based on the tv commercial), but Josh used a filler closer to the color of concrete, then blended sand. The result was a much more natural look. Overall GREAT JOB!!!!!

I was dealing with some noticeably bouncy floors around my home, so I reached out to Groundworks. They sent out Dalten, who was incredibly knowledgeable. He inspected the entirety of my crawlspace and took detailed elevations, which revealed significant sagging. He also pointed out that several wood posts were actually buried in the dirt and starting to rot. To fix the issue, he recommended installing IntelliJacks to replace the failing posts and adding a new beam supported by two additional IntelliJacks to stabilize my hallway. I can’t say enough good things about Foreman Roger and his crew, Santos and Juan. They showed up ready to work and efficiently installed everything exactly as outlined in the contract. It’s clear these guys take pride in what they do. I highly recommend Groundworks if you want a team that sticks to their word and refuses to cut corners. My floors feel solid again!

Tyler and Giovanni were not only professional and knowledgeable, but also delightful. They made the whole experience a pleasant one. Would highly recommend this company and these two young men. Start to finish they let you know everything that’s going on and make sure that you are happy. A secondary note: The cost of doing foundation repair is quite high. Most of that goes to permits and engineering fees. If you’re going to take care of repairing your home, sometimes you just have to pay the price. That old adage of you get what you pay for I believe stands firm in this case.
