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.

We had the recent misfortune of having our main line break after the recent snow storm. Pat came out right on time and gave us the estimate. We don't have a choice but to get it fixed. As there is water just bubbling up through our grass and driveway and sidewalk. It's probably the most expensive plumbing repair that there is but Pat made me feel at ease and even though I just felt like crying he was able to keep my spirits up. They've done work for us before (we have quest pipe unfortunately) and at that time they were also extremely professional, courteous and had the best price. I didn't even feel the need to call another company to get another estimate. I trust them and that's who we will always use in the future. Since the actual repair hasn't been done yet I will update the review if something goes awry.

Brad and his team put in basement gutters and redid my sump pump. From start to finish, he kept me informed with regards to what he was gonna do. He and his guys were polite and cleaned up after themselves very well. When issues arose, Brad looped me in on the course of action. 5/5 stars, Groundworks will do right by you.

Groundworks (FSS) completed their 2nd (of 5) annual inspection which is part of their warranty program for foundation piers they installed two years ago. Richard (Issac) was the inspector this year and he is outstanding. Very professional and he took the time to accurately explain the status of our foundation. I also had him take a look at our pool deck and got his views on this project as well. I was very pleased with the conduct of the inspection – thanks Issac!

I had a fantastic experience with Groundworks in sealing the perimeter of my house. Caitlyn and Ny were both amazing – they took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure everything was completed to my expectations. Their professionalism and attention to detail really stood out. I’ll definitely be using Groundworks again in the spring to level my sidewalks and would highly recommend them to others!

I cannot thank groundworks enough. not just the first time but every time. Since installation ( a few years back) they send out great techs who are knowledgeable and quick. My tec Jeremy Marshall was very thorough and help replace missing part for some of my units. He followed me around the state hitting a few of my properties, checking everything and I'm glad to have groundworks as a servicer.

Cliff Wertz and George Wertz of Baker's Waterproofing were fantastic. Very polite and respectful of my daughter and me and of the property. They were very clean and worked extremely hard and were extra taxed by the heat, working in 90+ degrees for two days doing very hard labor and precision work with the jacks. I would definitely have them back if I'd ever need anything else they provide.

Great experience. After many calls and research. I was pretty sure on price estimate, what needed to be done, equipment needed, etc. I'm in Calhoun County in a 96 y o house with sagging floors. Finally Tatum and Tatum in Opelika referred me to AFS after I told Anthony what I was looking for and they don't do it. So I called and Susan was great on the phone. Seth Thomas was out inspecting the flooring/crawl space the next day and the day after that, Breon, JT, and Mauro came out and completed the job. It was like watching a choreographed dance. Then within hours Seth called to see how things went as did Neo Rivas, the crew's Field Supervisor. You just don't see customer service like this much anymore. I cannot recommend AFS more highly. Don't waste your time calling anyone else. PS Also they came in 700 dollars less than the price I had estimated, I was pleasantly surprised.

We had a great experience with Aqua Guard Foundation Solutions, especially with our service technician Zyan. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and made sure all of our questions were answered before leaving. It’s hard to find technicians who are both skilled and personable, and Zyan definitely exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Aqua Guard and ask for Zyan if you can!
