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.

Rob, Trevor and Leah did a great job repairing two hairline cracks on my driveway and adding support material to the slab. The sealant looks great and the holes used for injecting the support material are barely noticeable. I am super happy, knowing that my driveway is back to almost-new condition. The very best part – they were able to complete the work a whole day ahead of schedule! Great crew – extremely happy with the quality and workmanship. Would definitely recommend Groundworks!

AFS did an outstanding job installing the crawlspace foundation for my home. From start to finish, the process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. The crew—Joseph Harker, Edwin Martin, and Gavin Payne—were exceptional. They showed up on time, worked hard, and clearly knew what they were doing. They took the time to explain the work, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure the job was done right. It’s not always easy to find a team you can trust with something this important, but these guys absolutely delivered. The quality of their work gives me real peace of mind about my home’s foundation. I highly recommend AFS, and especially this crew, to anyone needing foundation or crawlspace work. Five stars all the way.

James was extremely helpful and informative with inspecting my foundation. I feel like I took a popup class. He explained everything and let me know what to look out for. He gave suggestions and tips for future improvements and confirmed parts that had good structure, including reassurance about places I had concerns. I was nervous about the inspection, but he made it very easy.

We had our basement waterproofed by Baker's. It's been bone-dry since. We did have one piece of equipment fail within a month of the installation, but it was a third party dehumidifier that was just a dud I guess, no fault of Baker's. I texted the project manager about it on a Sunday. I expected a response the following week. He got back to me within the hour. The equipment was removed and replaced within a couple days. Everything great since. I would highly recommend Baker's, but specifically our project manager Nathan Goddard and the head guy on site Daylan. Can't remember his last name, but he's got a long beard and did a great job. Thanks to both of them and the rest of the guys.
