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.

We haven’t had our work completed so we will come back and address any concerns “if” we run into issues. What I can say is Doug Helfrich has really helped and educated us on the project we are taking underway. He came out quickly and was very prompt with a response/bid which was appreciated as we were under contract to sell the home. He even came out a second time when we wanted to get something else addressed as well. On a Sunday at that! He was very prompt with phone calls and text messages and while waiting for our project has kept in touch to keep us updated. My dad is a hvac guy and Doug reminds me so much of him. Educating us, taking the time for small talk, just letting us know it’s a not a huge project they could handle it and do it all the time. He made me feel like we were one of his kids the way he spoke with us and has taken care of us. We hope the install process goes as smoothly as the bid/project assessment.

Tom Gilmore and the entire team at Groundworks were great! Tom was extremely thorough in his evaluation of our crawlspace and what was needed to remediate our moisture and standing water issues. The team came out and did the job neatly and professionally. The price compared to some other local companies was a little on the higher end, but you get what you pay for and Groundworks was worth every penny. When it comes to something like preventing mold and structural issues you don't want to skimp. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

Nobody wants to deal with leaks in their basement, and I would wager that paying for a new basement gutter and sump pump is not at the top of anyone's wish list, but Groundworks made this as good an experience as it could possibly be. The two onsite crew in particular (Logan Parsons and Tai Mark) did a fantastic job of keeping me in the loop as they worked away. They were also super friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate in contacting Groundworks again – quality work!

Tim M., Mike B., and Ian J. were all professional, and fast contractors. They kept in communication throughout the process, and showed me whenever they’d reached a milestone, giving me peace of mind and reference for how much time they would need for the project. They even replanted the shrubs that had to be removed from the sites. I would absolutely work with them again in the future, and recommend them for your projects.

I have used Foundation Systems of Michigan (now Groundworks) since 2014. They fixed foundation leaks back then and installed a new sump pump. Since then, I've had them out every year to service the pump and inspect the foundation. Their technicians are always excellent – professional and experienced. The technician who came out this year, Marshall, was fantastic. He had done prep work for the service call before arriving, which made the visit that much more efficient. The reasons for his recommendations were presented clearly. All in all, it was a visit that reinforced my strong positive view of Groundworks. I'm glad that I chose them over 10 years ago and will certainly continue to work with them in the future.

Jeremy Higgins with Foundation Recovery Systems came out today to evaluate my home on the bluffs of the Mississippi, which has some serious settling issues, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. He spent hours thoroughly inspecting everything and took the time to explain each issue in a way that was easy to understand. He truly went above and beyond, answering every question and making me feel confident and comfortable with the plan moving forward. And I have to add—anyone willing to crawl under a house in what can only be described as a full astronaut suit deserves extra credit. 🚀
