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 are extremely happy with the workmanship on our basement, and we highly appreciate the warranty provided by Foundation Recovery Systems on the work they performed for our homes longevity. Today we had our 1 year checkup and their Service Technician Jesse F. was very professional in every way, and he provided us with a detailed report of his inspection findings, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. I've already recommended FRS to others!

From the detailed explanation of what my situation was with Abdul Jalloh , the field inspector to the exceptional professionalism displayed by the foreman Jaime Castillo and his two mechanics, Joel Larios and Erick Morales, I have come away from this experience, appreciating all of their hard work and the quality of the finished project of restoring and encapsulating my crawlspace in the house I have lived in for 40 years.

I had two different issues that Jordan and his teams were able to take care of for me. Carlos and Tim on a wall repair, and Tim and Colin on a slab lift, stabilization and crack fill. The work looks good and I am no longer concerned with either of these items being an issue in the future.

AFS (David, Bobby, and Jesus) did a very good job communicating their arrival and departure times. They took the time to explain the process and what we could expect. They were tasked with installing 13 helical posts. All areas were dug by hand, the removed soil set aside and restored like I would. They kept saying that they treat each home as if it were their own. Job well done.

Earle and his crew worked hard and when they were done they cleaned everything up beautifully. They went the extra mile for me and moved some heavy things back in place when they were done, especially Earle. My front and back doors now work perfectly. Thank you, Earle! The one issue I have with Groundworks is the “order now and get an additional discount”. That really cheapened the whole experience for me.

I highly recommend Groundworks! I was concerned with cracks found near my front and back door, so I scheduled a free inspection. Jonathan Falcone arrived on time and was pleasant and professional. He inspected the foundation of my home and gave an honest assessment of the cracks, which were caused by minimal shifting. I was relieved to learn there's no need for any work. If you have concerns about a potentially shifting foundation, a no-risk call to Groundworks will help give peace of mind.

I had an excellent experience with this foundation repair team at Groundworks. From start to finish, their communication was clear and consistent. Christian F., Diego A., and Josiah W. were outstanding. They were professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in their work. The clean‑up afterward was excellent. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend this team for anyone needing foundation repair done the right way.

We had a terrific visit yesterday from the good folks at Groundworks/Hooksett New Hampshire. Graham (with his trainee) did a terrific job with the annual maintenance for our two sump pumps and two dehumidifiers in our crawlspace. They were exceptionally professional, personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. We signed up for a three year annual service plan, and we feel well well taken care of and protected knowing that Graham is just a phone call away.

I really would like to recognize Jessie of Groundworks, I received exceptional customer service from him. Not only does he go the extra mile, he really cares about the people. I had a really major issue and he ended up really helping me in a time of need, not many people would do what he did, drop everything and just go out of his way to help out. I’m so glad that Jessie was there to help and really calmed a lot of my uncertainties in the situation that I had. I can tell you that he is a very hard worker and will step up and help when needed. You can count on Jessie! Irving, Tx

Our experience with AFS Huntsville was nothing less than wonderful. We bought an older home several months ago. Due to some issues discovered after moving in, we decided we needed a more thorough inspection of our crawlspace area. After a little research, we decided to reach out to AFS. Bret Carroll came out for the inspection. He provided photos of our current situation in addition to videos and a detailed explanation of what would be needed to help improve our crawlspace. He was not your typical “salesman”. He provided the facts and a quote, then we made an informed decision on how to proceed. Exactly five days later, an amazing crew – Blaise Slydell, Derrius Green, and Gage Dullea – arrived and got straight to work. Blaise kept us up to date on each day’s progress. They were punctual as well as professional and very easy to work with. We could not have asked for a better crew. We would definitely recommend AFS to friends and family!

We hired FSM Grand Rapids to spray foam insulate our crawl space and install a dehumidifier to help with the dampness in that area. All four workers, Jalen, DeShawn, Reggie, and Jamont were very helpful, friendly and professional. The crawl space looks so much better than it did and we are happy that it is sealed off from the cold weather. I would highly recommend FSM Grand Rapids for any of your foundation work!
