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.

My front porch steps settled over the years to a hazardous point. They are now at a safe level thanks to Aaron Lenker and Matt Engel. They arrived promptly and assessed the situation. They informed me of what needed to be done and how they would accomplish the job. They were knowledgeable and skillfully used the equipment to raise the steps to a safe level. They left the entire area neat and free of debris. I was very impressed with both the men and the work they did.

Andy from Groundworks came to assess a perceived structural issue with our basement walls. He was very thorough in his review and assessed not only the area in question but the entire length of the wall before making a determination. This helped ease our concerns due to the level of detail he employed in the analysis. Moreover, he was courteous and even offered suggestions on unrelated issues based on his past experience. I’d strongly encourage this business (and Andy).

Rhett was my project manager for the encapsulation under my house. He was extremely informative, made sure i understood what my options were, always (literally) willing to answer any questions i had through the entire process and definitely not afraid to say he needed to get back to me if he wasn’t 💯 positive on the information i was asking for. I really appreciate his patience and integrity through the entire process. I shopped several different companies before making my decision to go with AFS and in full confidence recommend Rhett for your under house moisture control. Taylor and his crew did the cleaning and installation under my house. Fantastic job! I was impressed by the professionalism, complete respect for my home, and constant contact with information of the process. There were a few times that original plans needed to be changed and he handled each instance with professionalism and poise. The pride in what he does not only shows in his work, but also in the way he leads his team. Highly recommended him for cleaning and installation.

After years of searching for a replacement for the decaying wood/dirt retaining wall of a 40ft slab that was added in my backyard by the previous owners, I found Alpha. Ashton, who gave me the quote, was the first professional who actually knew what he was talking about, and it was a no brainer to sign with them on the spot as I could finally get rid of that huge and ugly decaying ´planter’. Josh, David and Anthony, who did the work, are all exceptional young professionals, knowledgeable, hardworking, respectful of my property, and fun to have around! It took the crew one full Florida high sun / high humidity day and a morning to reinforce the 2ft deep foundations into a 20 ft deep system and now that slab is going nowhere! They cleaned up after themselves and left the place ready for my new backyard improvements! I’m mega happy with their work and recommend them and the company even in preventative situations like mine. Money well spent! All Floridians should have this system under their house!

Camden Daniel was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He thoroughly looked over the entire basement and exterior where we thought we had a problem. He was very good to explain to us what we had going on and let us know that we didn't have anything to worry about. We really appreciated the honesty. Even though we did not have to schedule a repair, we will definitely call this company again if we need to and will recommend them to others. Thank you Camden Daniel for such a great experience!

I called to schedule an appointment and they sent me an email confirming the date and who the inspector was going to be. Ryan Machado called the day before to confirm the time and called the day of just to re-confirm everything. He was very informative when it came to not just explaining the scope of the work but also the various finance options available. No high pressure sales tactics which was a breath of fresh air.

I worked with Trevor this morning, and he was extremely helpful. He made me feel much better about the moisture in our crawlspace and gave me advice on what to do next. He was very honest and didn’t push any services and even said it wasn’t necessary and everything looks good, so I really appreciate him being honest as some services just try to get a buck out of you. Thank you so much again Trevor.!

Chad Edwards has been a pleasure to talk to. He explained everything in detail. Made sure I understood everything. He is a definite asset for JES. I honestly have never had a sales person take the time to explain everything so thoroughly. Also very polite and respectful.
