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 crawl space looks great. No more dirty plastic to deal with. The crew that did out job was amazing. Wish I know their names, (my husband was dealing with the guys). We couldn't be more pleased with the Ground works company and staff. Wish we had done the work earlier. Thanks for a great job.

Richard Z, Shawn E, and Sebastian M were fantastic! They were very polite, professional and efficient. They showed up on time, completed the job over the course of 2 visits, and left the place looking like it was always there. I had a sump pump installation. When the job was completed, Richard Z went over all the specifications with the pump and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Give these employees a raise!!! They were top notch! I highly recommend FSM of Livonia for your waterproofing concerns.

AFS did a great job on leveling my porch concrete. It has been a problem for 30 years with the original contractor using the wrong grade of fill under the slab. The team of Nick B. and Josh B. were very professional, knew exactly what they were doing, polite and answered all my questions. Nick and Josh are a 10 in my book.

Great work and was done very fast. Richard, chase and AJ were all very professional and made sure to keep me informed along the entire process of the repair to my home. They were very accommodating to my schedule and arrived on time when they said they would. Repair was done in a little over 2.5 hours. Very good experience overall.

Sam did a home inspection a few days ago and helped my husband and I to determine what next steps we need to take. He was very kind and patient with all questions we had. We had neighbors that had work done a few months ago and I can understand why they decided to go through with foundation recovery services.

First off let me just start by saying Whitt was almost, ALMOST too excited to get into our wet, tight…crawlspace. Get your mind out of the gutter. He was more informative and definitely more entertaining than the “talking Tom” videos. Just pay Whitt extra to redo those. Anyway, really excited to see how the work goes (with only 1 stupid review from some weirdo I’m certain it’ll be an enjoyable experience and worth the 5 stars we gave).
