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.

*AQUAGUARD'S WORK IS SOLID* The opportunity to improve is on the administrative side. First and foremost, the crews that did the actual work were awesome and FIVE STAR. I had one crew led by Marcus replace my gutters in mid October. Raymond & Brian lifted and stabilized my garage and driveway a week later. They were all professional and did pre/post walk throughs and checked in periodically to let me know what was going on. Their work was excellent. The leads on both crews answered all my questions (even the ones I didn't think to ask) and helped me work out some kinks in the whole process. Some examples of admin issues: – I repeatedly requested a copy of the signed contract (because it was all electronic) and didn't get one until Marcus, the lead on the gutter crew, was kind enough to send me a copy as soon as I asked him. – When the contract was set up, they had the wrong contact information on it. I had to send multiple texts to get at least the contact info correct in the system and I'm still not 100% sure it is correct. – The gutter crew didn't have access to give me credit for materials that didn't get used. The supervisor, Josh, was very helpful in getting that addressed and the paperwork pushed through when I spoke with him. – Something happened when the first crew completed their job that closed out the GreenSky account that was intended to pay for all the projects. Raymond helped me get that all sorted out so I could take full advantage of the 2-yr interest-free Greensky loan instead of having to use other means to pay. – There was a misunderstanding on what work was contracted for on the driveway. I thought that the code on the contract meant stabilize and lift but it didn't. The video I was shown had them also fixing the cracks after the lift which lead me to believe that was included as well. It was not explained that that the lift and crack fix would be separate charges. When Raymond showed up, we talked it through and he went the extra mile and did what he could to get the best result without costing me more money. I have a driveway that I'm happy with. I encourage others to use them. The biggest warning is to make sure you fully understand what each of the line items on the contract mean before you sign.

Hunter performed an inspection for us and was truly outstanding. I wanted an estimate to lift my sinking sidewalk and correct a gap underneath our driveway. He arrived precisely on time, respecting our schedule. His explanations were succinct, leaving no room for confusion. Every question I had was answered clearly and thoroughly. While the work itself is expensive, Hunter made the beginning of the process as straightforward as possible. His professionalism and attention to detail set the tone for a positive experience. Highly recommend!

We had our yearly inspection with Caden… he was absolutely genuine and very professional. He noticed that there was black mold in the crawl space and he recommended that have it insulated and waterproofed. We also needed some electrical work done to allow our sub pump to run properly. Our project was scheduled for Feb 3rd. We were extremely impressed with how well the foreman Iran * communicated with us and made sure that the project was completed to our satisfaction. His team of Chris *. And Earl * were extremely friendly and did a great job with clearing out the mess from inside the crawl space. We are very pleased with how well the project was completed.

I have used Select Basement which is now Groundworks for years and across several properties. In NJ there are only two outfits that deal with basements. The other one are incredibly overpriced and do not give any confidence that they are honest. Groundworks dealt with pump installs, maintenance, crack sealing with epoxy and redoing basement wells. Overall they are a consistent and quality service provider and part of my go to team for my various basements.

Had Jamie Tobin drop off his card on my door and mentioned he could fix our driveway. He was very responsive when I finally reached out and he came to the house. He answered all my questions and gave a very in depth presentation that covered a lot of information I didn’t know. I would highly recommend Groundwork’s and Jamie to anyone looking to repair their driveway or garage. Top notch guys!
