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.

What can I say about my experience with the team. Chris Boyd did a comprehensive inspection, including crawling around in my crawlspace (and even brought me up the hammer I had left down there a couple months earlier). Daniel Mages and Scott Worthington were the technicians who did the concrete lift to my driveway and sidewalk sections. They showed up on time as scheduled (even provided me a courtesy call first to let me know when they would be arriving). The concrete lift and stabilization work was professional, and the sealing of the joints they did look amazing. I only wish I had taken the initiative to have the work done sooner. Thank you.

You will be satisfied with your experience! We recently completed a large foundation project with Groundworks in Edmonds, WA — a roughly $70,000 job involving permits, engineering reports, and significant structural work. Given the scope and importance of the project, I wanted to share a complete and thoughtful perspective. Overall Experience From intake through execution, the experience was strong. The consultation was detailed, the proposed solution was clearly explained, and the permitting and engineering process — which took a couple of months — was handled smoothly with consistent updates. The crew worked efficiently, and the quality of the foundation work itself was solid. The Consultation & Planning Our home sits on a steep slope, and an addition at the back had begun to settle. Groundworks sent out Jerry for the initial consultation, and he was excellent. Jerry was knowledgeable, energetic, and charismatic, and he took the time to clearly walk us through the problem, the proposed solutions, and what a job of this scale would realistically involve. He explained the engineering considerations in plain language, answered questions thoroughly, and helped us understand both the risks and the long-term benefits of doing the work properly. From an intake and planning standpoint, we felt confident moving forward. The Project The scope of work was extensive and involved foundation reinforcement along the entire back of our house, as well as drilling and post installation outside of the foundation to properly support a failing rear addition. Because much of this work needed to be performed beneath and adjacent to our back deck, deck access was required. We discussed these access needs ahead of time, and I even removed the top decking myself to reduce labor costs, based on our shared understanding of what would be necessary. A Miscommunication (and What Happened Next) While I was out of town during part of the work, a miscommunication occurred on site regarding what deck changes were permitted. As a result, the deck was dismantled more extensively than any of us had anticipated. This was understandably frustrating — not because anyone did something wrong, but because the situation was genuinely complex and confusing. It was a conversation that perhaps should have been extremely clear about what was happening, but it wasn't — and it wasn't the fault of any single party. Once the issue was identified and elevated, senior leadership stepped in, and this is where Groundworks truly distinguished itself. Leadership Response & Resolution We ultimately worked directly with Nathan Malsch, the General Manager, who was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making things right. Initially, we discussed a 50/50 split on replacement lumber for rebuilding the deck. Nathan went well beyond that agreement. Groundworks purchased more than enough lumber for a full deck rebuild, had it delivered directly to our home, and even provided a Milwaukee impact driver/screwgun set along with Milwaukee bits to help with reconstruction! That level of ownership was frankly unexpected and deeply appreciated. It wasn't just about compensation — it was about leadership taking responsibility and ensuring we felt supported after a frustrating situation. Final Takeaway Large foundation projects are complex. What ultimately matters is how a company responds when challenges arise. Based on the quality of the work, the professionalism shown during consultation, and the accountability demonstrated by senior leadership, I feel confident recommending Groundworks. We ultimately walked away satisfied and appreciative of the effort made to ensure we were truly taken care of.

I recently found out the Credit Union I am over needed major foundation repairs. I had to obtain 3 estimates to present to my board. The estimate from AFS was competitive in terms of price with the other companies, but they trumped the competition in other ways. Forest (the estimator w/AFS) was awesome, he took me around the building and showed me exactly how the equipment worked to determined the extent of the repairs needed. He was extremely friendly and informative. He even answered my boards questions concerning the competitors estimates because I couldn’t reach them on the phone. 12 outta 10 for the estimator!! As for the repairs, Joe Hawkins was the foreman over the repairs. Joe and his crew were exemplary!! We ran into multiple issues and Joe handled them all like a champ! He kept me informed the entire time, answered all my question, and was accommodating with scheduling needs and issues that arose with our neighbors. AFS should start a “be like Joe” training for all their new crew’s!! If I ever need foundation repairs in the future, I will certainly use AFS and while I am sure all their crews and estimators are brilliant…I’d likely request Joe as the foreman and Forest as the estimator! Bravo guys!! 20 outta 10!

Brian did a great job explaining the process and working with me on payment options. Kaz and his team worked hard all day and got my foundation raised more than even expected. Doors are closing as they should and I am happy with the outcome. Kaz even accepted my request of patching the cracks with the cement he had used for the patio. All around great company, very honest and upfront. Will recommend to anyone needing foundation repair.

AquaGuard foreman Kornbred and his all-star crew – Oscar, Zeke, and Jarrod – did an amazing job waterproofing our crawlspace and garage as well as shoring up the foundation of the house. This was a big job, and they were more than up to the task. Kornbred has an eye for detail, and he is a great problem solver. He explained the whole process to me and kept me updated throughout. His crew as thorough, meticulous, and hardworking (working well into the night to finish the job on time without rushing). The quality of the work was outstanding, and I give them my highest recommendation.
