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.

This is the 2nd project Alpha Foundation has done for me. I am very pleased with their work and how they left the work area. Clint and Hunter arrived ahead of schedule (yay!), were very communicative, professional and worked diligently. At the end, they explained the process of the work they did. I would recommend Alpha Foundation (Clint and Hunter) for your foundation/crawl space needs.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tar Heel Basement Systems, and I’m happy to say the experience was outstanding. From the very first meeting with Steele, who took the time to listen to my concerns and needs, to the thoughtful plan they developed, I felt well taken care of every step of the way. The team—Juan, Alex, and Hayden—did an exceptional job. They were not only professional, but also knowledgeable, efficient, and punctual. The crew arrived on time and immediately got to work. Throughout the day, Juan was incredibly responsive to my questions, keeping me informed and ensuring my concerns were addressed, which helped put my mind at ease. I’m extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend Tar Heel Basement Systems for any foundation or crawlspace needs. A big thank you to the team—your work truly exceeded expectations!

Excellent service! I had a water sensor alarm going off near my sump pump and not only did GROUNDWORKS pick up the phone right away, they were able to get a technician scheduled in less than hour. However, long story short intended up not needing an appointment, called the technician, Tobias Moxon, who patiently listened to my issue and my resolution, made sure I had ‘fixed’ it correctly (sent pictures of the issue and he reviewed) and was confident in my resolution. He was patient and made sure to ask questions to make sure I was good to go!

Al came to our house on different occasions for different reasons to inspect or house. He truly gave us his honest opinion. He didn't do a sells pitch or make thing look worst than they were. He actually gave us a piece of mind about issues with our house. This company did my waterproofing work in our basement and I'm very happy that I have a very dry basement, which I never had since becoming owners of this home. I've actually recommended them to others.

Working with DJ from Groundworks (Select Basement) has been an outstanding experience. After struggling with various contractors who either failed to resolve our water issues or were unprofessional, DJ and his team truly stood out. DJ was incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process. Our home is a ranch with 225 linear feet around the perimeter, and while other contractors insisted on installing a French drain for the entire length, DJ recommended a more targeted approach. He proposed installing the French drain for just 80 linear feet, focusing only on the areas where water intrusion was likely. His thorough explanations and prompt responses to all our questions were greatly appreciated. The workers arrived on time, maintained a clean work environment, and completed the job as promised. If we could give 10 stars, we would! Groundworks is a highly professional and honest company that didn't try to inflate the scope of work to charge us more. We wholeheartedly recommend them.

The entire process went smoothly from start to finish. Chuck provided a thorough explanation of the job during the quoting stage. Emily did an excellent job coordinating the schedule, even managed to move the project 2 months from original timeframe. On site, William, Rigoberto and Jose Victor arrived on time, clearly explained the work they would be doing and carried it out efficiently. They were careful throughout the process and made sure everything was cleaned up afterward. Overall, a very positive experience.

Blake did a fantastic job! Very courteous and professional. The result of the Polyrenewal system is already showing through and gives us the reassurance that we made the right call! Thank you Blake for the nice job you did, DJ for working with us through the contract, and Michael in Jacksonville for taking the time to talk to me twice about our slab issues and your honesty. Integrity is clearly a part of the culture at Alpha Foundations.

Foreman: Jaxon Hudson CO: Wesley Ash Installer: Robert Smith Major props to the crew that worked our crawl space. Clearance was 22” at the entrance and 13” at its lowest. Although taking up some of the floors did help, this crew worked in some very uncomfortable spots in order to make our floors right. They were professional and respectful of the property and kept me informed throughout the process.
