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.

My experience with Adam Apinis was positive, he did a thorough inspection and explained what they world do for the price which I considered fair. He prepared me for the decision I will have to make about moving and is giving me enough time to make that decision after I look at what I will buy if I move.

My wife and I live in Portage County Ohio and needed to replace our basement sump and pump. I turned to Ohio Basement Authority that we have used in the past for other issues and specifically wanted their rep Chris Schewell to come out and take care of the issue. Chris has been taking care of our basement for years. Chris took his time and explained everything that was causing our issues (specifically the original sump was installed incorrectly and whole list of other issues). So we had his team come out today and install a whole new system and we could not have been more pleased. They were on time, professional, courteous, cleaned up after themselves and did an overall great job!! Major kudos to the Ohio Basement Authority! If you have issues with just about anything in your basement, definitely reach out to Chris and you will be super pleased!

Foundation Recovery Systems did a great job installing piers and IntelliBraces throughout our basement. The whole crew was nice and professional and finished the job early! Thanks to Devan and his team that were here all week making sure our foundation is secure. (Note: In the photos attached, the piers and IntelliBraces were what their team installed. No demo/crack repair was in scope of our project.)

The Groundworks crew that stabilized my foundation – foreman Kyler Crawford and crewmembers Jon and Jaden – performed the work very professionally and were extremely courteous and helpful. Any questions or concerns I brought up were addressed immediately or at the appropriate time. They also fulfilled any promises/commitments they made, and their work was done to my satisfaction. They demonstrated experience and expertise with their work which was important to me concerning the cost and what was involved. While the final outcome fell short of what I hoped would be accomplished (I wanted more lift on the back of the house), it was not because of their efforts or lack of trying. These men worked hard while they were at my property, and I was impressed with the work ethic they brought to the job. They are an asset to your company, and I appreciated having a competent crew like them work on my home. Tony Menendez Wilkes-Barre

Service technician Chris Wanzer came out to check on our encapsulation system for our annual maintenance appointment. He went above and beyond during his inspection, even taking the time to reconnect an unattached dryer vent for us. Chris communicated information about the house with clarity and knowledge, and is a great representation of standard the customer service we have come to expect from AFS.

Jose U. with Leveled Concrete came out on March 24th & re-leveled several panels of our driveway with their pressure “expanding foam.” He did a fantastic job! Throughout the process he explained exactly what he was doing, as well as answered my many questions! As a result of his wonderful attitude and his sincere desire to do an excellent job, I can highly recommend Jose to be your highly qualified technician to perform concrete leveling with the expanding foam utilized by Leveled Concrete!!!

I had Alpha Foundations come out to take a look at my condo foundation because I had tiles cracking in a few different areas. The field inspector named Eric K. was very patient in explaining what he was doing, what he was observing, and even the tool he was using. He immediately made you feel comfortable because he was so personable, knowledgeble, and structured in his approach. He went room to room, measuring, then pictures, and then a walk through of his findings. To my astonishment he left telling me that he would have a report over to me tonight. It has been a long time since I had a business come out when they said they would and then exceed my expectations. Thank you Eric!!!

Five star service from beginning to end! Mack, the company sales representative was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job of surveying the damage and explaining what needed to be done. Scheduling staff then ensured that a repair time was scheduled that was convenient for me. The repair crew, Paris and Bug, showed up at the agreed upon time, explained what they were going to do and ensured that all my questions were answered prior to starting. Then the real magic happened, they were able to bring my patio, walkway, and steps back perfectly to their original positions. See photos! I couldn’t recommend this company any more highly. If you want your leveling done right, and done right the first time, these are the folks to call!
