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.

Shannon S. was very knowledgeable and helped us select what we needed for our basement, no pressure from a sales perspective which is not something you typically see today. Chris H., Lamont M., and Jarred M. were fast and efficient during the day of our job, did a pre and post job walkthrough, and asked us if we had any questions They also cleaned up after themselves well, we didn’t even notice any dust from breaking up the cement in our basement.

I could not have been more impressed with the service, quality of the job and the professionalism of the people who came out. The salesman, Joe, was so informative and helpful in explaining what the issue was. The gentleman who came out to do the job were prompt and very efficient. They explained the process and did an amazing job! I would highly recommend Alpha Foundations and already did to the inspector who came out to sign off on the project. Thanks again!!!!!

After a year of difficulties with AG and multiple issues, a crew I had not interacted with were called out to my house to fix the issues for good (after I threatened legal complaint). I felt like rolling my eyes and saying “yeah, right”. I felt I had to review now because “Kornbred”, J.W., & Jay arrived. Kornbred immediately apologized that I had had so many bad experiences and flatly stated that he and the crew were here to repair and would be there until things were right. I was skeptical due to experience, but I am writing today to say he kept his word. He and his team were careful with my home, worked in freezing temperatures, and truly got my home secure. Kornbred took me to see the hours of work and make sure I felt it was correctly done. After a very awful year with AG, this man and his team lived up to what they said. I want this man to know I appreciate his honesty, workmanship, and attitude. He was upfront, did not double talk, and didcwhat he said. Kornbred should be promoted to training supervisor for Aqua Guard for technicians. All the lies would be cut and the work would live up to the tv commercials. Maybe he, J.W. & Jay should be the advertisement. Give them a well deserved raise! They did what all the rest did not, could not or would not do… including management at various levels. Next time – just send Kornbred & crew.

David Roberson has been the very best tech that has came out. No other tech flood tested the sump pump system changed my air filter and helped me in the basement drain. I am lucky to have him come out and AFS is lucky to have him as a technician.

I requested an evaluation by Groundworks of cracks in walls and ceilings. Their inspector (Jim D) did a thorough examination of interior and exterior cracks as well as the crawlspace and foundation. He explained everything he was doing, showed photographs of his findings, and answered all my questions. He was very thorough and I was extremely happy with the service provided.

Seth, Trevor and Javier helped me with lifting my driveway and patio, as well as sealing some cracks, in a timely manner. They are professional and knowledgeable in this area. They explained to me the whole process and made sure I understand every single step. Their attention to details were impressive. They made sure the job is 100% complete. They did not stop until the last tiny bit of the work was done. At the end they cleaned up the driveway and the patio. To me they deserve more than 5 STARS. If you are booking with Groundworks make sure Seth, Trevor and Javier are assigned to your job.

AquaGuard has provided water intrusion and foundation service to our home for over 20 years. They have also leveled our driveway after some settling issues. They stand by their warranties. Recently Mike Kelly came out to our home and releveled our driveway after I noticed some more settling. He explained what he did and offered suggestions for diverting water from a downspout. Highly recommend this company.

Foundation Recovery Systems did a great job installing piers and IntelliBraces throughout our basement. The whole crew was nice and professional and finished the job early! Thanks to Devan and his team that were here all week making sure our foundation is secure. (Note: In the photos attached, the piers and IntelliBraces were what their team installed. No demo/crack repair was in scope of our project.)
