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.

I needed some leveling done and called Ohio basement authority first. After speaking with Charles, I didn’t even call anyone else. I had a sidewalk out front that needed to be leveled and a concrete patio out back that was cracked and uneven. John and Ethan did an absolutely wonderful job, they were friendly, polite and professional. No more worries about somebody tripping on the sidewalk and we will enjoy the patio for years to come. Thank you guys!

Jesse T. was my lead contact on the job. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and answered all my questions, and was very good to work with. After that, the crew of Marco N., Alejandro S., and Cesar B., worked hard and got the job done professionally and politely. No more worries about my crawlspace. Most of my contact on the job was with Marco, who also answered all my questions, and was really helpful and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this company!

Mark from Bay Area Groundworks spent several hours at our home performing a very thorough inspection of our foundation and crawlspace. He arrived on time and took the time to carefully evaluate the structure, measure floor elevations, and inspect the crawlspace in detail. He also documented everything with photos and walked us through what he found step-by-step. What we appreciated most was how clearly he explained the situation. He showed us exactly where the foundation had settled, pointed out areas of moisture, identified a crack in the foundation, and explained the possible causes and long-term effects in plain language that was easy to understand. He also explained the different repair options, the process his company uses for underpinning, and what the installation would look like. Mark was patient with our many questions and never made us feel rushed. He discussed warranties, permits, engineering, project timelines, and what level of disruption to expect during the work. He also provided a clear visual layout of the proposed repair plan and shared photos from the inspection so we could review everything afterward. We especially appreciated that he was respectful of our decision to gather multiple estimates before moving forward. His professionalism, thoroughness, and willingness to educate homeowners made the entire consultation very helpful. Overall, Mark was knowledgeable, transparent, and generous with his time. If you’re looking for someone who will carefully evaluate your foundation and explain things in a way that makes sense, he is definitely worth speaking with.

Groundworks are exceptionally fantastic. They leveled an area around our inground pool. I didn't think it was possible but they proved me around. The concrete around the pool is now leveled and looks great. Groundworks employees Alex Young and Aaron Lenher were excellent and walked me through the entire process. The project looks great. Thank you. Highly Recommend Groundworks.

Josh called on his way to the house got here at the earliest time in the window of time given to us by the company that he would arrive. Came right in was very pleasant knowledgeable and got to the route of the problem. Not only did he fix the seal on the leaking toilet but also noticed a bigger problem and called a water remediation company while at our house to come out right away to access and potentially remediate any problems we have with that! Very professional and helpful and quite concerned about doing the right thing! We couldnâ  t be more satisfied!

OBA provided clear communication and timely scheduling. They were able to come out to our house within a few days of my initial call. Chase was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He made what could be an overwhelming situation stress-free, and although we realized the root cause of our issue is not something OBA can provide a solution for, I would highly recommend using them to friends and family.

Rana H and David H came on time, checked with me as to what was to be repaired and got to work. Rana also noticed a couple of other areas that needed attention that she brought to my awareness and with my agreement, repaired those as well. I could not have had a more competent and service oriented team complete my repairs. Thank you…
