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.

Deven from Groundworks is extremely thorough and courteous. Even though we worked through the estimate for a few hours, he was able to explain and answer every single question we had. Trust, we are a tough audience. They are not the cheapest but gave us the peace of mind knowing we will be taken care of no matter what. No surprise up charges, just a straight black and white pricing. The products are definitely superior to the other 7 estimates we received for foundation repair. Don’t be bamboozled by the competition with their rusty pipes!

Very professional and courteous. Did a great job. Explained every step and what to expect. The crew of Jakalon and Rama were beyond fantastic. I can be a bit too much looking over the shoulder with my engineering mind but they were each gracious in assuring I understood every step of this intriguing process. My circle driveway was full of obvious voids, all cracked up and warped lopsided. They raised it all, in one spot 3.5 inches to flush. Just did a fantastic job.

Awesome company, especially their customer rep Blake Snidow. I expected a hard sell for services I may have not needed, and instead got an amiable, no-nonsense evaluation of available options – with no upsell pressure. Blake was timely, kept me informed of his schedule, and was very professional in his evaluation and fiscally conservative on his presentation of options. The fact that they are an employee-owned company probably has the effect of producing professionals like Blake.

From our first encounter with FSM, we found them to be very knowledgeable, professional, considerate, and concerned. Erik Randall and Caleb Denmark have been outstanding. They answered all my questions completely helping me to understand what was causing my problems and how best to fix them. I had water issues in the crawlspace as well as foundation problems. They sent a crew within 24 hours to address the water issue in the crawlspace. The entire crew were remarkable. They were all so friendly and worked quickly to encapsulate my crawl space, install a new sump pump system and dehumidifier and within hours my water problem was solved. They cleaned everything up so well you would never know that they had been here. I can't say enough about Erik Randall. I have called him or texted him numerous times with questions and he is right on top of everything. He responds quickly and really knows this business. I'm very happy with this company. I would highly recommend them! We just contracted them to handle our foundation issue and I am secure that it will be handled quickly, professionally and completely. I am so happy that I chose FSM.

I had foundation repair work done at my Aunt Mary’s house which included replacing a load bearing structural beam 18’ long and installing 8 jacks and 4 metal beams. The crew was fantastic, they kept me updated throughout the process, they were under the house for 3 days. They worked diligently with very few breaks to finish the project. I would recommend them to anyone that required this type of service. There were 4 guys working under the floor their workmanship was excellent. Thank you Josh, Cody, Hunter & Savion

We just had our crawlspace encapsulation completed by JES, and the experience was nothing short of remarkable. From start to finish, it was the best all-around customer service you could ask for. Our inspector, Wylace Liggon, was fantastic and set the stage for a smooth project. The crew, Rafael Garcia Lopez, Jose Lovato, and Wilton Mendoza were a total powerhouse. The second they arrived on-site, they jumped straight to work and didn't stop. Their communication was easy and transparent, and I was so impressed by the amazing care they took with our property. They were professional, respectful, and efficient. A huge shoutout to our electrician, Justin Basile, as well, for his outstanding work and attention to detail. It is rare to find a team that works this seamlessly together. If you want a company that treats your home with respect and delivers top-tier results, I highly recommend this crew at JES!

Christian Rudd, Benny Esparza, & Christia Parrish were the team of guys who came and took care of my waterproofing project in my basement. Very professional, kind and knowledgeable young team of men who worked efficiently and effectively to get the work done. Shay was my inspector and explained the process well and helped me to understand what was needed. The team had obviously communicated with Shay so this streamlined the process and all were impressive. I’d recommend this team to anyone. Good job, AFS Chattanooga! And thanks!
