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.

Had JES come out and install a box drain. Darrell M. The job supervisor called me early that morning to let me know what time he was coming. He greeted me and introduced himself and his crew, Ricky J. And Allen B. He told me what he was going to do and asked if I was ok with what he was going to do. They got right to work. When they were finished, he knocked on the door and showed me what he'd done. The job was done beautifully, and the clean-up was too. I'm very pleased with the work. And would use them again

Kevin and Curtis were amazing. Prompt, professional, and very curtious or my home and property. They made sure the job was done right and the communication was great. I never had to guess what was happening and they made sure to update me every step of the way. Clean up was great, they didn't leave anything that wasn't supposed to be left behind. 5/5 would recommend them to anyone else needing crawl space work done.

Appointment scheduling and reservation was not transparent as the representative apparently was new and did not know the procedures. Explained my situation as the landlord and she took longer than expected to recreate the account because directed by me, I had asked the tenants to book the appointment originally so they registered initially. Was asked if I wish to keep a credit card on file, so I declined and was told I would pay directly once technician arrived. I try to not keep credit card info online as hacks and leaks do happen although rare, but when it does, it is time consuming to deal with. Received another call hours later and was told credit card needed to be on file since I was the landlord but they called as I was stepping out the door and told them to call back in 20 minutes. Third call, follow up to the credit card was now being told, it was needed because this was first time registration. Had to get three call backs from the representative and each time was told something else contradictory. It's frustrating to be told one thing then told another, and then again told something different. When invoice and email was received for completion of the repair, it obviously stated that payment could be made upon receipt of invoice so why was I forced to keep a credit card on file? On a up note, Technician (Adam Cronk) was on time within schedule of appointment. The updates on when he would arrive could be better as I received a call 2 and 1/2 prior to his arrival informing me that "I was next, and he would be there soon" made it sound like that would be within the next half hour. But next in line was over 2 hours later. Adam accessed the issue quickly and accurately provided a good reasonable cost of repair. Repairs were done well and efficiently. Thank you Adam! I would highly recommend Adam for any job.

Nick Bohal did an outstanding job. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. He took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done correctly and efficiently. The results were excellent—my concrete is now level, solid, and looks great. The work was clean, precise, and completed on time. It’s clear Nick takes a lot of pride in his craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend asking for Nick Bohal if you need any work done. You won’t be disappointed.
