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.

To be honest in all respects, so you can realize this a real review, I almost ditched this company initially because having left all my details, no-one called back, but at that time, I was requesting a free inspection with a girl in Texas. Since then, they now have a proper setup with Miriam in Edmonton at the office. Kevin, came out at the end of August and we hashed over his pricing and what we wanted done, until we finally arranged a package that I felt I could live with. The next time, if ever, this driveway may need replacement, but their warranty gives me 3 years, and if their work is anything akin to what I had done before, I should get 10 years plus! Caitlyn, Christian & Trevor came a month later (End of Sept) and did a simply put -amazing- job of lifting my sections of cracked concrete with up to 2” of drop, back to as level as possible. This left us with only a minimum of grinding tripping hazard edges. A few days later, Caitlyn came back as part of a 2 person team, to install, tool the seam-seal, and cleanup. I only wish we could have done this a little sooner after agreeing to the contract as the crack sealant is still drying due to our lower Fall temperatures at this time of year! The team was very thorough, never a guffaw if we came out and asked them to redo this spot or another. Great team, great job!Thank you EH

I reached out to Alpha Foundations for a crawlspace encapsulation. The inspection process was far more detailed than I could've ever imagined. I learned a great deal about the process and my home. I opted to Move forward with the installation. They were able to schedule me quickly, and the team that completed the project was very efficient on time and polite. There were several challenges that occurred, but the team continued until the job was I'd like to think Malik, Antoine, Andrew and Ezekiel for forgetting this job done..

Jeremy was great to work with. He was patient, answered all my questions (which were many), and was understanding when we decided to not proceed forward at this time. When we are ready to get this work done, Jeremy is the reason I will be reaching back out to Foundation Recovery Systems. Thank you, sir!

We had Groundworks work on a house for us and they did excellent. They were very prompt, gave us time to prep for when they arrived and before they started any piece of the project, they shared what they were doing and asked if we had questions. They were great and we would highly recommend them. We worked with Jakob and Waylay for the garage floor as well as Ler and his crew, Eh Wah and Myint Oo working on the basement walls and were amazed at how well it went and looked so good on completion. Highly recommend them for work!!! Thanks.

Couldn’t recommend A1 more, especially if you have a Navien tankless water heater. A1 was the third plumber we tried, and the previous two acted like they knew what they were doing, but really didn’t. Jordan from A1 was able to diagnose the issue immediately; he was clearly experienced on Navien tankless heaters and knew what he was doing. It was such a pleasant relief after the experience we had with the other two plumbers we tried.

What a wonderful experience we had with Foundation Support Specialist repairing our driveway. WOW! From start to finish wonderful job. John Latvatalo came and inspected drive. He explained what was needed, and gave a very good and fair price for all repairs. Aaron Hudson (crew foreman) and Zach Taylor were the specialist that did the work and they are GOOD! Professional and courteous from the start to finish. They explained everything, answered any questions we had, made us feel very comfortable, and they both were so nice, and they both do excellent work. Thanks to Aaron and Zach for doing such a great job. I would highly recommend FSS to anyone looking for concrete repairs.

After having three different waterproofing companies assess our basement we’re glad we chose BQ Basements & Concrete (Groundworks). Josh came out initially to inspect and was very well informed. He was able to answer all of our questions and explain the process and reasoning behind it very clearly. He also made himself available to answer any other questions that came up over the phone or texts. On the day of the work Steve (foreman), Pedro, Tim, and Chris arrived on time and got right to work. They took extra care to cover the few items we had in the basement and to keep dust from getting into the rest of the house. They started with some demo before working on the drain system. Steve was communicative and invited me to see their progress along the way. The crew was not only hardworking but respectful and friendly. They seemed quite efficient and finished when they said they would. They also did a great job cleaning up and left the basement cleaner than before they got there. This was the most well organized and efficient company that we encountered. Thanks to BQ Basements we now have the ease of mind of a waterproofed basement.
