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.

Stan Caylor was great to work with. He listened to my concerns, looked at the areas that concerned to me, then took the necessary measurements. He explained that the results show my foundation was in great shape, instead, my home had some heave in the slab. This meant foundation repair was not necessary, and let me know what steps I needed to take to figure out what caused the heave in the slab. Kudos to Stan and the culture at Groundworks. Instead of giving you a sales pitch, they give you fact-based results, even if it means their services are not required to do the repair. Thank you!

It all started with the Groundworks Crawl Space commercial and Mr. Mike Rowe doing the "Dirty Job". thats when my wife and i decided to call Groundworks. We made an appointment and as promised the Inspector arrived right on time, maybe a little early, but he called first. The Groundworks Inspector Mr. Corey Meyers was the best and most prepared inspector that i have ever met. Corey took time to first ask a series of questions and then got dressed up in his protective gear and adorned his assortment of tools and inspected our 100 yr. old crawl space. The inspection was a success. My wife and I are extremely impressed with Corey and the Groundworks company. Thank you so much.

They each get 5 stars!

My crawl space was a mess. Constantly flooding in heavy rain and hurricanes. It was moldy and a dank mess. The house was Constantly humid and musty. I tried different things myself but nothing worked. Im glad I called Alpha! I feel the difference already from the encapsulated crawl space. It looks like a NASA clean room under there! Thank you to the sales manager Colin and the incredible crew: Donald, Lawrence, Corey and Tori. Very professional and excellent work. My wife and I highly recommend all of you.

We just completed our foundation work with Indiana Foundation. Because of the depths of the concrete pillars, much more excavation was required than planned and much more landscape alteration and subsequent work will be required. This is just the nature of these kinds of projects and certainly no fault of the company at all. Just as a homeowner, be prepared for things to be more involved than you originally anticipated. This is the only reason for the four star rating instead of five, because things were much more involved than we planned, much more landscape alteration, which will cost money to put back together, double the length of the initial anticipated time of the project… Those kinds of things. The personnel, however, were excellent. See below. Fortunately, we had a superb team on site… Andrew, Anthony and his brother Jeremy. They were present every day until the lift was done, which took several days because one of the pillars was very deep. These young men were remarkable representatives of their company. Very pleasant, easy to understand, and clearly were knowledgeable at their profession. There were times during our project where we were frustrated with the amount of dirt removed and they took great care to damage none of the property, or any of the trees or other wooden features of the home as they were doing their job. The cleanup was very good at the end. We were happy to have these three men on site and appreciate their experience and know how. High marks for them. We also had some steps that had subsided raised with the polyfoam, and that was very straightforward and very successful. We have one more set of steps to go, and then we will be complete. Lastly, we also had the opportunity to meet Colby, a supervisor. A true gem of a man, he inspected the project during the height of our frustration and helped reassure us about the eventual success and ultimate resolution of things. His presence and repeat timely communication was invaluable. Thank you, Indiana Foundation!

Jose U. and Gael U. came to my house today to do a service call on my driveway. These 2 men were extremely polite and professional. They did an exceptional job and cleaned up after their service. I would recommend Leveled Concrete for any issues you might have with your driveway or sidewalks. Their customer service is beyond perfect. They strive to make their customers happy and satisfied.

A1 is the best! They are the same company who assisted my Aunt on Christmas Eve day. This company’s emergency service is top notch! James was professional and knowledgeable which is a rare gem these days. He explained everything, answered all of my questions, and made great suggestions for our next steps. We tried two other plumbers and A1 came through with excellent service. THANK YOU, JAMES!!!
