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.

The folks at Ohio Basement Authority were able to quickly able to schedule an appointment and send a rep out to do an estimate when I found out I had water intrusion in my basement. Their rep, Dakota Hruby, was a consummate professional. He clearly explained everything and answered all my questions. He helped put my mind at ease during this very stressful time.

Our home of 31 years had developed foundation problems directly related to ground water that eroded the earth under one corner of our foundation causing a two inch drop on that corner of the house. An underground spring had erupted in the earth beneath our home that had overwhelmed our current French drains and single sump pump. Groundworks came in and engineered a ground water mitigation system with a new crawl space drainage system, two state of the art sump pump systems with backup pumps and alarms, replaced our vapor barrier and raised and underpinned our foundation corner. Their work met all engineering plans and passed all inspections. They came back out twice to make minor adjustments ensuring all was to our satisfaction. The water mitigation crew of Anthony, Jordan and Jonathan and the Foundation crew of David, Tripp and Keegan, as well as the staff behind the scenes coordinating the work, engineering, scheduling, and permitting all did an exemplary job in essentially saving our home. I can’t say enough about their attention to details and making sure all our needs were met. I most highly recommend Groundworks.

**Rating: 5/5 Stars ** If you are looking for foundation repair, look no further–**Groundworks** is the company to go with. I recently had them out to repair my foundation, and the entire experience was flawless from start to finish. The crew was absolutely phenomenal–hardworking, professional, and respectful of my property. The customer service is truly stellar. A special shout-out to the **Foreman**, who kept me abreast of every single detail throughout the process. I never had to wonder what was happening or what the next step was; his communication was proactive and clear, which gave me total peace of mind. They repaired everything to perfection. What really impressed me, though, was their attention to detail. There were a few slight things that didn't even necessarily need to be repaired or replaced, but the crew took care of them anyway just to ensure the job was done right and provide that extra touch. It is rare to find this level of integrity and craftsmanship. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Mr. Rudy Gonzale, Superintendant at the JES in Bristow, VA, came to our rescue when my husband and I called about a foundation water problem. Rudy showed up in a very timely manner. He was very polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. He explained things in a way in which we could understand what was going on with the issue we were experiencing. Rudy listened to and understood our concerns and in a very professional manner he demonstrated empathy and assurance that everything will be alright. Even though my husband and I had never met Rudy before we felt he treated us like he would a family member. Rudy was a blessing to us. He was true to his word that "Everything would be alright". I highly recommend Rudy and his team who assisted us in resolving our problem. We could go on and on about Rudy with the highest accolades because the words Thank You to Rudy doesn't seem adequate.

Alpha Foundations were awesome to work with, from the original representative, who thoroughly explained the process, as he was originally a team leader. The Team that completed the work were excellent, with the Team Leader Maximos being very courteous, also providing details as the work progressed, and the crew were very efficient, especially working in the confined space under our residence. We are very pleased with the work, the crew and the timely manner in which the project was done. Highly recommend.

They crew just finished fixing my driveway and pool deck (this was from hurricane damage). Yesterday they put in some pilings to lift/support a slab on the corner of my pool deck. They did an excellent job. Both crews were very nice, friendly, and professional. I will gladly hire them again. In fact, I'll likely ask them to come back in a few months and check my foundation. I would gladly recommend them to friends, family, and neighbors.
