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 had a couple guys come out to quote foundation issues and encapsulation. Mount Valley was amazing from start to finish. They guys are extremely polite and professional. They went out of their way to complete the job on time even when a member got sick the guy, Justin and Messian came through to finish the job on schedule. These gentleman showed us a leak and looked throughout the home to check anywhere else. They buttoned up the crawlspace and gave us instructions for the dehumidifier. Also the project manager was on site and helped us get the dips out of the floor several times to satisfaction. Great group and people and would highly recommend.

We had taken care of the items at our church that we had to do like removing everything from the walls. We received a reminder text several days before scheduled work and again closer to start date. Brock called to give estimated time of arrival each day. Brock, Rich, and Travis were super professional. Communication was great as they kept us informed of the process as they went along. They also set up expectations upon arrival. We had started covering some important items before they arrived, but they covered contents with plastic before beginning the work. They alerted us to any potential problems before beginning the process. Job took a little over 2 1/2 days. We had a wrap up discussion at the end of each day. The guys worked well together and did not stand around. They did the job they came to do.

They aren’t even finished with our project yet, they’re about to end day 1/2 and I am impatient and just had to say this. My husband and I are newlyweds. We are young, inexperienced with contractors, and we were nervous because all we hear about are horror stories of people who come to work on something at your home. These guys are beyond incredible. The entire company is obviously so competent, professional and passionate. Everyone from Ben Sizemore who gave us 4 HOURS OF HIS TIME to sit down with us and go through every detail of this project, down to the foreman Trent Baker who headed up his team of 3 guys as they’ve spent the entire day working. I’m blown away by everyone’s kindness, cleanliness, professionalism, etc. and these are young men!! They all deserve raises, compliments, and when (not if because you must) you hire them, go to the store and buy them snacks and drinks. They deserve it. I wish this company did regular home renovations because it feels like it can only go down from here haha! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our very first home improvement a wonderful experience. I’m so beyond grateful. I’ll update my review after they’re all finished. I know it’ll be even better tomorrow. 🤍

I requested a free estimate of how much it would cost to re-level our brick patio that had began settling years ago due to a failed retaining wall. This wall was replaced last year, hence the desire to do the brick/concrete slab leveling using Bay Area Underpinning's Polyrenewal process that can literally raise a slab. The certified field inspector, Chance Danner, was very thorough in his evaluation of what was needed, and the entire presentation was well organized, clearly laid out, professional and the pricing was reasonable. Chance explained how they would do the job in our patio, and backed it up with visuals on their Polyrenewal system. Although we decided to wait to do the job until after we took care of several other major projects, we would definitely recommend Bay Area Underpinning to anyone.

Dan the "Foreman", Riley, and Reginald were a great crew working together to get my crawl space floor system stabilized to allow me to complete the remodeling of our lake home. They were on time and completed the job a day early. Dan and I work through some of the unforseen structural issues ane saved $2000.00 by eliminating one beam. The only issue was that Tom the salesman said they can level the floors but Dan right away said FSM only stabilize floors and never try to raise floors to get them level. We solved the issue by my purchase of a 20 ton bottle jack used to raise the main beam where it had broken. The home is a 125 year old lake cottage built back when main beams were put on rocks to support the structure. Overall the pricing for the project was better than Ayres Basement Co. FSM has 18 month no interest financing that helped our decision to pick FSM.

It was a pleasure working with Ernest Vigil. He came to my house and did a thorough measurement of my crawlspace for the estimate. He was responsive throughout the installation process. On the second day of the job, Ernest called me and informed me that the crew told him his map for the job was inaccurate and they had to dig a lot more which resulted in an additional ~$3,500 cost. Initially he was just going to accept what the crew told him. I told him their explanation didn't make sense, and insisted that he should come over to verify. He came after the crew quit working early on that day, went down to the crawlspace and discovered the crew was digging where they are not supposed to. Then on the fourth day, when I returned from work in the afternoon, the crew was about to leave and told me they had finished everything. I didn't see the new drainage system that was included in the quote so I asked them about this. They said they connected the new sump pump to the old drainage. I remember Ernest told me their company wouldn't use previous systems because you don't know if they still work. So I called Ernest about this. The crew also didn't replace the door which was also included in the quote. I told them about this, they quickly put together a door then left. Fortunately I thought about checking it and discovered all screws were sticking out from the other side of the door with sharp tips (I almost got poked, which was why I noticed it). I told Ernest about this too. He took care of both issues and had the crew come back the next day to fix them. He then came over to inspect the work and took pictures/videos. So now the system seems to be working fine. Attached is the picture Ernest liked the most.

Starting out, Kevin came for the assessment and was so kind and professional. Especially since it's scary worrying about your house and the costs. He understood and went over everything in great detail and offered financing options. On the day of installation, Edgar was so kind and informative with his team Bennie and Josh. They made a huge difference in our floors! Edgar also offered solid advice and was so easy to talk to. We highly recommend these guys for your home!! Thanks y'all!!

Adam came back to our house (last time was to help us uptick our foundation) to review few cracks on another basement wall. As before he was focused, honest, and complete about what was going on in our old house and what options we have going forward. Obviously he is an expert on foundation recommendations.
