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.

Alan McConnell was prompt with his appointment today. He kept me informed about his arrival time. After his inspection he gave me great details on what needed to be done. He also showed me a disgram of everything that needed to be done.. I wish everyone that I deal with would be as nice, polite and know what he was talking about as much as he does. I felt like I could trust him. Sincerely S. Oller

Colin's team didn't just come on time but arrived early. They asked me about my priorities and concerns, and addressed each of them. Colin also followed up with a phone call, explaining the work his team did and what they'd be doing upon their return. I felt incredibly informed which, for me, is key- transparent and proactive communication.

Our sunroom (an elevated, attached structure sitting on a hill with three outside walls) was sinking at the far end and pulling away from the house on the inner wall. The crew that Indiana Foundation sent out for the fix was amazing. Anthony W. , Bruce T. and Mike A. were the hardest working crew I’ve ever observed. Never once did I see any of them just standing around. They thoroughly explained everything, Anthony kept us informed at each step of the project and they were all very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They were also very considerate of our landscaping. To our surprise (another company had said it couldn’t be done) they were able to lift the room, level and stabilize the structure and close the gap on the inner wall. From the very beginning when we received our estimate and signed our contract (with Jim D., who was also great to work with) to the end of the project took only five days. The final cost was about twenty percent cheaper than some other estimates we received and the work came with a lifetime guarantee. So glad we chose this company. Janet and Ken C.

Had a great experience with Foundation Recovery Systems. From the estimate with Cody, to the fixes and install done by Christian, Eli, and Adam, everything was great. Super communicative in every facet and left my basement cleaner than it was when they got there. Would highly recommend to anyone needing waterproofing done.

Ron and his crew did a great job! They placed new floor joists and did a crawl space encapsulation. Ron communicated with us throughout the process. The encapsulation looks great and they left everything clean when they left. Would definitely recommend.
