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.

Dominic and the project team; especially the crew foreman on my install were an A+ team. They are superior to any other contractor I have ever had. The crew foreman kept me updated with details of the install. The team worked non-stop in the harsh weather to get my crawl space enscapulated within 2 days. I am so grateful to them! However, you have the option to use their electricians for outlet installation. That was a poor decision on my part. The outlet has not been installed yet and electricians lack communication skills; are unreliable and lack credibility. I highly recommend OBA construction team as well as Dominic, but go with a reliable electrician.

We had them come out and give us an estimate on our concrete patio that was not level due to settling. Quin called a day or two ahead of time and gave us a time he would be at our house. The day scheduled Quin called and was on time as scheduled. Quin was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done. Quin did not pressure us to commit to his company. Quin was very enjoyable to deal with throughout this process.

The Groundworks installation crew did an excellent job from start to finish. Before beginning the work, they took time to explain the scope of the project, how the foundation support system would be installed, and what results we should expect. Throughout the process, the crew was professional, respectful of our home, and very organized in how they worked. Once completed, they walked me through everything they had done, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood how the support system will benefit our foundation long-term. We are very pleased with the workmanship and the outcome at this point. Thank you to the foreman as well as Adrian and José for their hard work and attention to detail. Overall, a great experience and we feel confident in the solution provided by Groundworks.

All heroes don’t were capes. But I now know three amazing people that do Zachary H. , Micheal H,.and Paul L. Definitely do. They save us they found a gas leak on the first day. Call the gas company and for everything shut off before it had gotten and could had be deadly. We were able to get a Plumm out to find two major leaks. Once everything was fixed and cleared. They were back at it with communication, smile, and extremely professional. They educated us on what was going through the hole installation. The made sure that everything was nice and neat and that now parents won’t have the added health hazard of home that doesn’t support there life goals and healthcare needs. They also did not know that they absolutely restored faith in contractors and tradesmen. Due to bad experiences with other companies. My parents are very happy that nearly impossible to hit. They definitely over delivered and we can thank them enough for the best experience in over a decade. They install was seamless even with hiccup from the gas leaks. They help keep us calm and focused throughout the repair. The gas company was even impressed by the progress they made in the short amount of time before they had to stop. They were so patient with parents make sure that they understood everything. No matter how many times they were asked the same questions. Reframing their explanations until they grasp it and were comfortable. They were honest about the solution that work best for my parents house and let us know of any possible problems. And how cherish when people don’t present problem without at least a possible solutions. Thank you so very much. Looking forward to to see you soon help out our Neibors make their homes healthier , protecting their investments and legacy, and the added benefit of saving them money. Thank you 🙏 again forever grateful. Taryn J. And Family

The inspector Chris McBride was so kind. He walked me through the whole process, educated me, and walked me through an option I hadn’t even thought of which was better than the one I had initially called for and would cost me less. It was great to have someone who was actively interested in helping fix my problem, listened to me, and worked with me on a solution.
