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.

The soil under my house has always been damp in the winter, but this past year I actually had standing water. The hardworking Groundworks crew came out and created a sump pump system for me. They had to do a lot of digging, but I had very little to clean up after they left. The foreman, Ryan, was very professional and good with his crew. He answered any questions I asked and showed me photos as the work progressed. I am also pleased with the attentiveness of the inspector, Leo. He answered my calls right away and made the whole process go smoothly. I asked for a follow up inspection after AMZ Electric (and other great company) installed the outlets for the pumps. No questions, Ashton came out the next day and checked out everything.

Called to get an estimate to lift the concrete decking around the outside edge of my pool. The outside of that portion of the deck had subsided making the deck unlevel and left a gap between the deck and pole tile. Lee Davis came out within a couple of days. Very friendly and professional. The estimate was actually less than what I feared. Work was scheduled for the end of October, but I got a text later that said they could do it on the 1st. The only complaint I have is that when the 1st came, I didn't hear from anyone until 2pm that they were on their way (weather was iffy). Suggestion, give an arrival window like other companies or call the day before or both. I wasn't sure anyone was going to show. Shawn and Chris arrived. They are actually with a sister company from Atlanta up here helping out. They went right to work and knocked the project out very quickly. The pool is very old, so I wasn't expecting any miracles. It's not perfect due to the age of the pool, but it looks a lot better and you can feel the difference when you walk on it. 5yr warranty. Highly recommend.

I would like to thank groundworks for the phenomenal job their crew did today installing my sump pump and running the water discharge line from my basement under my lawn and under the sidewalk to the street. You can not even notice it is there. They applied for the permits, dug out the pit in the basement where the sump pump sits and did all the finishing concrete work. I finally have peace of mind. I highly recommend them. Mark Santoro Union, New Jersey

Had a foundation gutter system and pump installed, then unexpectedly had to put my house up for sale. My inspection was this morning, 11/5/24, after a crazy 36 hours of rain. 10 inches where I lived. The inspector came, basement was BONE DRY. Phenomenal system installed. And it took these guys a day to install it. On top of it all I was pleasantly surprised with the price, and the level of customer service was outstanding. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Spencer & Ethan were great. They called to give me an ETA and texted once they arrived. They were in complete communication the entire time they worked on my driveway. When I noticed something a few days later I called Dry-pro again and my contact Brandon W sent Spencer & Ethan back out no questions asked. Spencer called me directly to follow up on what I needed fixed. They came back to fix the walkway and did a superb job. I couldn’t be happier with the team from Dry Pro Charlotte.

I met Phil Ralphs at a home show. I had some questions about some problems I have with my home. He was able to inform me of what was going on and also told me that my problem wasn't as bad as I thought and didn't try to sell me a service that I didn't need. I highly recommend Phil as an inspector and Groundworks as a company. Definitely refreshing to talk to an honest contractor.

We are very happy with the job our Traverse City crew of Bryant, Gabe, Logan and Jarred did on our crawl space. Bryant kept us well informed of arrival and departure times, gave us frequent updates on their progress with lots of pictures. The crew jumped right in and started working immediately upon arrival. Bryant kept us informed of issues they ran into and how they could be fixed. The crew were always cheerful and polite. They did their job quickly and efficiently and finished up a day earlier than expected. I would not hesitate to recommend FSM to anyone with crawl space issues.

I would 10/10 recommend them for all of your foundation needs.
