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.

Eval & quote in Decatur, IN – I have been having foundation issues for years. I hired one company to come and waterproof and provide a solution. Well, the results haven't lasted as long as I wanted them to. So after researching companies, I contacted Groundworks. Amy Volka showed up at my door, on time for my evaluation. I have mobility issues so she let me know that there was a pipe leaking which I appreciated. She did a thorough exam of outside and inside. We talked for a long time about her findings. She showed me some educational videos and info on her laptop. She explained what I would need to create the best result, what I would need to handle before they come start working, lots of details. Amy was very detailed with the information. She drew up a plan on her laptop in her vehicle. 10-15 minutes later she could show me the 10 page detailed contract. I liked that they have inhouse engineers & permit department. I like that if I sell my house, the lifetime warranty for work can transfer to the next owner. I signed because the details were so great and thorough. She even mentioned that they do sidewalk leveling so I jumped on that too before anyone gets hurt on my sidewalks. I gave her a down payment check which she was willing to hold until I transferred the funds. We have been checking in with each other on fund transfer, my required updates progress, and she got me a 2 week start date. I have been thoroughly impressed with Amy and the company. Amy helped ease my anxiety and worry about my foundation and gave me faith in a more permanent solution.

We had a great experience with Kornbread, Oscar, and Zeke for our basement waterproofing. Kornbread was very thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly. The work was done neatly and professionally, and they made sure to clean up everything afterward. Even the next day, when we had a couple of follow-up questions,. Kornbread was responsive and helpful. Excellent service all around—highly recommend!

After considering a number of contractors for our foundation repair, we chose JES. The team included a number of qualified folks, and the onsite team of Jose Rodriquez, Victor Croz, and Nicolas Levano did a great job for the 2 day project. They were prompt, answered questions, and installed 16 steel brackets to reinforce our basement walls. Time will tell, and the job should result in stabilizing the foundation for a very long time. The company obviously has depth, and solid resources to call on when needed. Many thanks to the entire team including those I contracted with, spoke to on the phone, and quizzed on a number of topics for the job. John F.

Jayden, Carter and Trent work like a well oiled machine. From protecting the new carpet to clean up afterwards, no worries. They placed and adjusted two support beams and I could 'feel' the difference right away. I'm so impressed, I decided to have them back to support another section. Smart investment!

I received an inspection/estimate from Phil. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. I could not believe how detailed he was in his inspection of my home and how much knowledge he shared with me. He is truly wonderful at what he does and I cannot say enough good things about him.

JES came in to waterproof my basement, which is a huge job, as they had to put a drain around the full perimeter of my basement and install a vapor barrier in a fully finished basement. This was after I had visible mold. The person who came in for the quote, Brendan, didn't try to sell me a whole bunch of extra stuff, told me straight up how it works, what they were going to do, and did so in a timely manner. He was very helpful with all my questions and woes. The crew that came out, the foreman Abdul, co-foreman Joseph, and installer Nilton were all professional and completed the job quickly and efficiently. I knew there was mold still in the wall, so they took the whole wall down; most companies would not do that, nor would they put the steps back, which they did the best they could, which I was very happy about, because there was mold hiding all the way up the wall behind some of the studs. They worked with all my needs, scheduled the job, and completed the job to my satisfaction over about a two-week period. Most other companies were 6 weeks out to schedule a job. They did all of this, pulled permits, and had it inspected for a better or same price than two other direct competitors.
