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.

Aquaguard waterproofed my basement efficiently and professionally. I can't say enough good things about this company. Blake, the sales representative for this project, demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. His extensive knowledge was particularly impressive. Kornbread, serving as the project manager, along with his team members -Wheeler and Jojo – demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the project. The team was punctual, maintained clear communication, respected the premises, provided thorough explanations at each stage of the process, and consistently delivered high-quality results. Kornbread possesses extensive knowledge and a high-level of expertise on basement waterproofing. He also showed me photos of my basement to highlight pre-existing conditions, and he provided photo updates as work progressed. Kornbread, Wheeler, and Jojo installed an interior drainage system and vapor barrier to ensure the basement remained dry. Their integrity was evident in all aspects of their work. The team ensured the worksite was clean throughout and upon completion, leaving behind workmanship of the highest standard. I highly recommend this company.

Contacted Eaglelift to lift a slab in my backyard as it was dropping, we negotiated a price, and a few weeks later Nicki called and said they were coming. Pleasant lady to talk to who helped answer all my questions. She sent Forman Rodger and the crew Kevin who were very courteous, clean, and pleasant to interact with. They lifted the slab no problems, cleaned the area, and I was very impressed with the job they did. I would recommend them and if I need them again they would be the first one to call. – John in Upland

Our driveway/sidewalk was uneven and becoming a hazard for neighborhood walkers. We contacted Ohio Basement Authority to give us an estimate and complete the project. Our estimator, Charles, was prompt, polite and professional. Today, John and Ethan came to level the concrete. From the moment that they got out of the truck, they were exceptional. They kept us informed through each step of the process and the work could not have been better! They represented the company with pride and professionalism. Our driveway/sidewalk is nearly back to the way it was when it was installed nineteen years ago. I would recommend this company and these employees time and again!

Thank you JES for a job well done. The crew, led by Foreman Charles Byers, were very professional, conscientious, courteous, hard working young men. Charles explained everything they needed to accomplish as they went along. This was not an easy job, running into several unexpected problems due to inadequate, unstable, unusual footing work done by the builder of 20 years ago. Our pier issues were solved due to the diligent hands on hard work performed by this crew, along with the JES engineers and supervisors that were consulted. They were calm and considered this job just another problem to be solved. This two day job became a labor intensive five day job. We are so very pleased with the final outcome, knowing our house is now safe due to this wonderful crew. Thank you Charles Byers, Chris Weddel, Garrett Williams and Reed Norvel.

AFS installed a basement drainage system and sump pump for us. It’s allowed us peace of mind as we continue to finish out our space. Now we can rest assured that mold or flooding will not ruin our investment. Nikoli E., Josh S., Caleb B., and Christian P. we’re all extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They performed the job quickly, leaving the area clean and ready for our next steps. It looked like hard work, but they certainly had wonderful attitudes and made it look easy. I highly recommend if you need water mitigation services from people who will treat you well and address your issues with expertise.

Daniel Cippone recently came to our house for the annual inspection of our sump pumps. From the original call to the follow-up, his customer service was exceptional. He did not pressure me into purchasing any additional services, but did provide a thorough walk through of his recommendations. To me, this is the most important quality when it comes to customer service!! Thanks for all your help.

Foundation work just got done. Tyler, Kevin, Ryan, and Giovanni were great workers very professional. They showed me every step of the work being done and explained what to expect once the job was done. They were very efficient and once they were done they left the area better then what they began with. Upon ending the work they left this homeowner with less anxiety and more confidence in that the safty issues were corrected. Overall excellent experience would definitely recommend them. Alpha Foundation should be very proud to have such good and competent people working in their company.

My wife and I recently had work done on our house's foundation and Richard, Frankie, and Sean from the Sunnyvale location did an amazing job. They were always on time, worked hard, and cleaned up very well after themselves every day. I highly recommend Groundworks for all your future foundation needs *thumbs up*
