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.

Technician Zach came to do our annual inspection, he was very thorough and took the time to explain how the system was performing as well as showing photographs as proof to support his observations. I have had mixed experiences as a whole with this company, but my experience with Zach was such the felt the need to post a comment. Hands down the most thorough tech I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thanks Zach! Sincerely T.H.

House foundation and slab are in bad shape. Unfortunately, I don't think piers on the outside are the solution. Having said that, Blake and his crew from the Colorado branch did an amazing job with what they had to work with. They explained every step and answered all my questions. Then, made it look like they were never there when they were finished. So this 5 star is for them. Thanks for the hard work, guys!

Jared went above and beyond helping us get everything in order. Helped compare and contrast different quotes we had received, and was thorough about the work we needed taken care of. From calling for an estimate to date scheduled for work, the turnaround is estimated to be 3 and a half weeks, with most of that time being us waiting for other quotes to come in.

We hired Groundworks (then called Bay Area Underpinning) to install piers at our house back in 2021 to correct some settling that had occurred over the past several decades. We were very impressed by the speed and professionalism of their crew and the company's great customer support. The piers really improved our house, and they have given us peace of mind as the rainy seasons become increasingly severe. We just had the company do a check-up inspection at our house, and we were thrilled to learn that our house has been rock solid since the pier installation. Their technician Ashton was highly knowledgeable and personable, and we appreciated his detailed explanations of his findings and potential improvements we could make in the future (and his no-pressure demeanor). We approached a number of companies for our foundation work, and we're very glad we chose to go with Groundworks.

The Groundworks team on site was very professional and polite – Levi, Najja, Daniel. They gave me at least 30min notice before arriving and did arrive on time. When i would visit the worksite they explained what was going on and the work plan remaining. The initial sales visit by Ronald included a video of how basements and foundations work to help visualize the fix. You can tell the staff is well trained to deal with clients and understand customer service principles. The rest of the industry needs to catchup to their work ethic.
