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.

We had Alpha Foundations come out to stabilize our patio, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They used a spray foam injection method to lift and secure the slab, and the difference was immediate. The team was professional, on time, and took the time to explain exactly what they were doing and why. You can tell they take pride in their work and don’t cut corners. Most importantly, everything feels solid and secure now, which gives me peace of mind for my family. If you’re dealing with uneven or sinking concrete, I highly recommend giving Alpha Foundations a call.

Joe, Matt and Mike arrived on time with great communication even before arrival! They were friendly and informative, letting us know exactly what to expect during the work.

For an annual inspection, Jacob R. came to visit and check around the house. He was super cool and was patient with the questions I had and pointing out several cracks to make sure they were not of concern. Jacob used some specialized tools (which he was more than happy to explain how they worked) and determined my house was sinking. He told me what needed to happen and we got everything scheduled. Brandon W. and Roosevelt W. followed up and got the job done faster than anticipated! They got the jacks put in and now my home is sitting pretty. Very grateful for the crew and their expertise. Make sure your foundation is strong, people. I had no idea my home was starting to lean over.

I was extremely pleased with the work that the men from JES foundation did. We had water seeping into our basement and they came and installed a french drain and also did some work with our gutters to extend them far out. Abdul W. found a root from a bush that was pushing against the wall and cut it off so it would not be an issue. He was very informative and educated me as the work was being done and pointed out problem areas they were going to fix along the way. The other men, Nilhon R. and Walter F. The men did a great job overall and cleaned up all of the mess afterward and I would highly recommend them.

Luis, Luis Jr., and David did an amazing job installing 3 helical piers for my garage. They took care of my yard while operating the excavator, and did not tear up the grass. When repairing the sidewalk and porch they did a great job with concrete. This crew worked very well together! Great team! I wish there were more stars for the review.

Looking forward to getting this service done. Ian came by for estimate and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, low pressure, and he helped us decide that this is the direction we should go. He explained the product and the process very well so when he left we had no questions as to what we should expect… So far so good. If the install portion of the project goes this smoothly then we will certainly be pleased beyond words!!

As always, we had a great experience with Groundworks a few days ago, when Matthew Wyatt came to do an annual checkup of the encapsulation and dehumidification system we had installed in our crawlspace last year. He was thorough, professional, and answered all of our questions precisely. We've gone to Groundworks for help with several issues now (the joys of owning an old house), and will absolutely use to them in the future to knock out other projects as we can afford to tackle them.

Chelsa came out, did a very thorough inspection, and gave an estimate on replacing a rotten sill plate. Iran,Chris, and Zach came the next week right on time, they were very polite and professional and did a great job. I do feel the price I paid was a bit high for a 3 hour repair and $150 in lumber, but the people were great.

I reached out to Alpha Foundations for a quote on extensive driveway repairs caused by years of ground shifting and tree roots. I was concerned the damage would require a complete repour. A representative came to my home and conducted a thorough evaluation. The quote I received was very reasonable, and within a few days, two technicians, Hunter and Brad, arrived to work on my driveway and sidewalk. They were both meticulous and highly skilled. Thankfully, a full repour wasn’t necessary—they only needed to pour a small section, and the rest was repaired using an innovative technique. Throughout the process, they remained courteous, professional, and responsive, answering all my questions promptly. I highly recommend Alpha Foundations for anyone in need of driveway repairs.
