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.

I was provided with a good service, quick delivery at a fair price. I had multiple areas that were sunken up to 2-1/2". Everything was brought to the correct height and the cleanup was very professional. This service saved me $$$ over having concrete replaced. Groundworks will be my go-to company and recommendation going forward.

It turns out I have had Bay Area Underpinning out twice in 5 years to look at my foundation and unlike the other guys, Bay Area Underpinning told me my options and that I was still within industry standards and that I did not need the service. He went on to give me concrete examples as to when I would need to call him back out to do the job.

This company came out quickly, assessed our site and provided a very affordable quote for us. Although there was some hiccups along the way once they started the project Groundworks management was able to step in, hear our concerns and helped us to communicate our concerns better with the crew. The crew onsite was very friendly, helpful and courteous. Walter, Owen and Fernando were all very polite, helpful and informative. Although after opening up our floor finding additional issues that could not have been predicted the Groundworks guys worked hard to help us find a solution. The timeline was even still met despite needing additional work done mid way they still managed to make it all work. I definitely recommend using Groundworks, and was super impressed with Paul the superintendent, he was excellent at listening and helping solve any problems right away. Despite this companies growing pains they did a fantastic job in the end and they work tirelessly to find solutions to unique challenges.

Groundworks did a great job, lifting our porch and sidewalks, and replacing our buried downspout line. Ryan Fanning was extremely helpful in assessing our issues, and formulating our project plan. Andres Martinez and Mariano Puchilla arrived promptly, walked us through the work plan, and got straight to work. All were very professional, knowledgeable, and delivered top- notch service.

I was super tired of my leaky basement and decided to do something about it. I looked into Basement Authority because I was seeing commercials and ads all over the place. I read reviews and watched multiple videos of the work they did. I contacted them through the website for an estimate. They sent Mike Cornecelli to do my estimate. Mike was very open and honest about what I needed and what he could do to help me. I can imagine there is a more knowledgeable person out there because he did a very thorough inspection and took pics and measurements. He made a plan on his laptop and showed me exactly what was going to happen and scheduled my appointment for installation. I needed wall supports, a gutter system and vapor barrier to fix the issues going on. My original date of install was moved up 3 weeks, which I am really grateful for. I had good communication throughout the whole process and the men worked every day until it was completed. I have zero complaints and highly recommend everyone use Basement Authority to fix your basement issues. I have learned so much about why leaks happen and how to correct them. Every man on the job was extremely polite and quick to answer any questions I had. They also offer a lifetime guarantee for the life of the home and yearly inspections to ensure everything is working properly. Contact Mike C and your problems will be fixed correctly and quickly. Well done guys!!! I'm more than thrilled with the work and the outcome from beginning to end!!!!

The estimate seemed reasonable. The 2 young men worked steadily until after dark to complete the job. It was my understanding through them that most often they have 3 to a team. The seemed to know what they were doing.
