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.

Camden Daniel was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He thoroughly looked over the entire basement and exterior where we thought we had a problem. He was very good to explain to us what we had going on and let us know that we didn't have anything to worry about. We really appreciated the honesty. Even though we did not have to schedule a repair, we will definitely call this company again if we need to and will recommend them to others. Thank you Camden Daniel for such a great experience!

I had Rana H and Dave H. They were awesome. She is very knowledgeable. I would recommend services with FSM and ask for Rana and make sure she brings Dave with her. Dave was ever so nice to being my trash cans in the yard for me. The best part my slab was left clean.

I had A1 Sewer and Drain replace my sewer lines in my entire house that has a slab. Their price was very fair and beat many other quotes. Tyler and Chase were sent to my house to do the work and they really went the extra mile. I can not say enough good things about Tyler and Chase and the work they did. They were respectful of the property and kept me informed through all phases. They took the time to explain things as I asked questions and I just sincerely appreciate their professionalism and workmanship. Could not be happier with A1 Sewer & Drain and the job they did for me.

We needed two big jobs completed to help with basement flooding and our sun room sagging. Joel, Coleman, and Donald all did a great job getting us set up with our sump pump, basement gutter, and window well tap setup. Additionally, we had some jacks installed and a lift performed on the sagging room. The team was super efficient, professional, and happy to answer any questions I had. We're very impressed! Also a shoutout to Zach who helped determine what would work best for our situation and being super easy to coordinate the work with. Keep up the great work team!
