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.

When my basement flooded, OBA was there within an hour. Chris Masselli, the tech, jumped right in to figure out what was going on. Without my even asking, they replaced my sump pumps (and added one more) and dehumidifier which had been ruined, under my warranty. As we tried to figure out what was causing the intrusion, Chris came out at least half a dozen times with just a phone call, including being at my house until after 11 one night. Tracen and his crew, Ciande and Ali, rearranged their work schedule to make sure needed work was done before the rain came. I have an old house, so they had to do a lot of problem-solving to find a solution for us. They were professional, friendly, and did excellent work. Kaleb called to help me with another related problem, found us an answer, and then followed up to make sure everything worked out. They stayed in touch with me every single day for two weeks until everything was good. They even provided an extended maintenance contract to ensure that any possible problems in the future would be addressed. If I had to use one word to describe this company, it would be integrity. Every single interaction was professional. They went above and beyond in every way and made sure I had the outcome I needed. Finding quality companies to do work in our home has been a struggle, but this is what high quality looks like. If every company did business like this, it would be so much better. Highly, highly recommend.

I originally was a long time employee of their competitor Frontier so naturally I knew about Frontiers price assurance guarantee. unfortunately Frontier and their front office were not willing to honor their PAG. So after speaking to Tom and answering all my questions he made me feel at ease to give AFS a shot and they didn’t disappoint and blew my expectations out of the water. The concrete team of Josh and Adam were professional, extra careful and did a phenomenal job to getting my renovation project back on track. I was so impressed I already am talking to my wife about using them to do our driveway in the near future. I have had Frontier in the past do concrete before, but as a former customer and employee of frontier, AFS was way head and shoulders above the with their company and the quality of work. Thank you again Josh B. And Adam M. for your amazing work!

Camryn H, Joshua F, and Tanner from the Moberly office did a great job at our home. They had to deal with radiant heat in the floor and worked with a person from our heating and cooling guys to pinpoint where they could drill. Our lot is on a hill and they worked hard to not disrupt the area where they had to dig along the outside of the foundation. It wasn?t cheap to use FRS but the work was was worth it. Thanks Camryn, Tanner, and Joshua!

Ethan and Cody were wonderful. They were prompt, respectful and honest which were all very much appreciated. Even though some things went wrong with how the sales person wrote up my order, they did everything they could to make it right. I don’t think that they truly knew how much it meant to me to have them step up and do the right thing. I am very grateful for them both and will recommend AFS, Ethan and Kody to anyone looking for this kind of work. Thank you again! Barbie T.

I’m so glad that I called Groundworks! I had a situation where I was pretty sure that there was a ground spring in my basement. I met with Mitch and he went through a lot of evaluation with me. We carefully looked at some options and agreed on a fair price for a sump pump installation. When the crew David, Kevin and David arrived And began to explore further into the wall before commencing the project, we discovered that it was not a ground spring at all. In fact, it was a leaky drain pipe. A less than reputable Company would have installed the sump pump, unnecessarily and build me for the work. The Forman, David Instead pulled me aside and explained exactly what was going on. We stopped work and pivoted in the correct direction which will ultimately save me money and preserve the aesthetics of my finished basement. Thanks again to the high integrity team at Groudworks!

From start to finish, everyone at Groundworks was very professional and easy to work with when I needed three support posts installed in my walkout basement. Pricing was waaaay better than I thought it would be. Mitch W came to check out what I needed and provided an estimate on the spot. He was able to work with me to adjust a few things to my liking. Eric O, Westley P, Colby S fully explained things along the way and were able to answer all questions I asked. I would highly recommend you contact them before you hire anyone else, even if it’s just to get an estimate to make sure your contractor is giving you honest pricing.
