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.

This is for the workers. They were polite, very helpful and they worked so hard getting my house jacked up and secured all with me living in it. They helped to move stuff around for me, so they could take up floors. I can’t say enough good things about Walter Z. Yzquierdo, Freddy Zavaleta, Walter Zavaleta and the rest of their crew.

Darin DeRosa was the Field Inspector who provided the diagnosis of our foundational issue. Darin was professional and highly qualified to perform the inspection and provide expert information to us. While the news was not what we wanted to hear, Darin gave us a detailed explanation and answered all of our questions and concerns. He also provided a solution that is the most minimally invasive which we appreciated. I want to mention that Darin also explained the long-term effects of what could happen if we choose not to move forward with the repairs. I would not hesitate to use Ohio Basement Authority for this repair and would recommend this company to anyone who might be experiencing foundational issues or suspect they have foundational issues. With Darin’s impressive credentials, I have full confidence in the accuracy of the inspection results. Thank you Darin!

We were impressed from the very first contact for a home inspection of our crawl space. We got a comprehensive quote that included pictures and explanation of the work to be done to encapsulate our crawl space on our 1956 built house. Our inspector coordinated an electrician and duct work installer to work with the AFS team to lay down insulation, vapor barrier and dehumidifier. We were very pleased with the professionalism, work ethic and friendliness of our team of Johnie, Michael and Morgan who competed the job in less than two days. We appreciated the team leader Johnnie who communicated with us about the schedule but we also suggest a confirmation of time of arrival of the team a day in advance. We highly recommend this company who reached out to us when we inquired about getting the work done.

We called Groundworks to assist us with waterproofing our basement. We had Andrew come to assess the situation. He explained in detail what they were going to do and set-up a crew to perform the task. The crew of Jose, Matt and Clarence came to the house and were true professionals. Jose the forman explained everything they were going to do to complete the job. They were very courteous and efficient. I highly recommend Groundworks.

Darren was so professional. He came down and gave us so many options as to the big lift we required for our Garage and driveway. The information about their work was the selling key for us. They know their stuff and Darren was so knowledgeable about what would best suit our lift and time frame. Highly recommend this company and Darren Kitzan. Photos of before and after will be posted later this season.
