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 received an inspection and estimation from Dino Rhoads on my house crawlspace today. I could not have asked for a more detailed inspection. Mr Rhoads was very professional, yet friendly. He explained everything in details. I thoroughly understand the entire process to be accomplished. Couldn't ask for a better representative from your company.

I had issues with the previous repair jobs but Jacob and his crew came out and knocked it out of the park. He was professional and explained everything to me as they went along. When he realized the job was a little more than expected he called for backup to make sure it was completed in a timely manner and to my satisfaction, enough so to where I extended my warranty. The back up crew got right to it and got 'er done. Hats off to Matt, Thomas, Jacob and the whole team.

Today, we had a wonderful experience with the Groundworks Inspector, Stan. As first time homeowners, we were quite worried when we found an area of dampness and mold in our home. We were unsure who to contact and what we should do. After doing some research, we decided to contact Groundworks. Within days, Groundworks booked a Free Inspection. Stan contacted us twice before arrival to ensure we knew what to expect during the appointment and to confirm the appointment. Upon arrival, Stan was professional and kind. His calm demeanour was very appreciated as we were quite panicked. Stan first asked a few questions to understand the issue and then, he conducted his inspection. He brought many tools to inspect the area and patiently explained each step of the inspection process. Thankfully, at the end, he determined we did not have a foundation issue that may have caused the water damage and provided us with solutions to protect our home from potential issues in the future. Thank you, Stan!

Groundworks provided an encapsulation of the crawl space beneath our townhouse. It involved water seal and foam board for the walls and floor. We'd had similar work done a couple years ago and we were very unhappy with the results. Though Groundworks had a higher quote, some of which was the removal of materials from the previous company's efforts, the end result is great and so far we feel it's been worth every penny. Following the initial work, we've had a couple minor issues, and we're pleased to say the company addressed them effectively and efficiently, responding with a crew within 48 hours of our telling them about the problem. Their office person (Michele) did a great job of coordinating their field people and made doing business with the company a pleasant experience. We're in our late 70's so touring crawlspaces is not on our bucket list – the Groundworks people were happy to provide pictures of what they were doing or had done throughout the job. We're very pleased with the service and the courtesy of their people. Special thanks to Antonio. A cautionary note about highly negative reviews on Yelp and elsewhere. Before you take those reviews seriously, check the reviewer's profile and see if during their entire lifespan on Yelp they have ever, ever, ever written a positive review about anything. If all they write are negative reviews, they're actually telling you more about themselves than they are telling you about the company they're reviewing. Just sayin'.

Wes Woodin from Dry Pro inspected our crawlspace & did a fantastic job explaining exactly what the problem was & came up with plan of how to stop the ground water from coming into my house. He sent over a expert team lead by Foreman Michael who took care of the problem in just two work days. They are very professional, answered all my annoying questions & did a fantastic job. Don't hesitate give them a call, you won't be disappointed…

From my first contact with the scheduler through my discussion with Nick Scudero, then my experience with the installation/repair team, Michael Truelove, Chris Smith, and Brady Webster, I've been incredibly impressed with everyone's courtesy, forthrightness, professionalism, knowledge, communication, and attention to detail. Mike and his team were timely and efficient and accomplished the job in amazingly quick time, then cleaned their work area, returning it to its original condition. Mike also showed me photos of the entire job from beginning to end. Then, I received a followup call to ensure my satisfaction. I definitely recommend AFS to anyone needing foundation repair.

Phil P. and Jason R. came out to our house and did an excellent job. We purchased our house after the previous owner originally used this company to adjust the flooring and thank goodness they had a transfer of ownership warranty. They adjusted the flooring and completed a thorough inspection. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. Due to negligence of the previous owner, we are having them come out to add a drainage system and sump pump. This was recommended by the company previously and the previous owners ignored the issue. I am looking forward to having this issue resolved and would recommend this company for future endeavors.

I just want to give a shout out to Micah from Groundworks! He came to our house today to do the semi annual inspection and was so courteous and professional that it really made me feel totally comfortable having him in my house. So many people complain about workmen and contractors that I really wanted to say this is a company that prides itself on having knowledgeable technicians and their professionalism He also suggested something amazing to me. He suggested that we get a device that measures the progress of foundation cracks. We have a few foundation cracks due to years of Water in the basement. He was not trying to upsell anything as these devices are very reasonably priced and able to be purchased through Amazon. We have not had any issues with water in our basement since having our system installed in the basement. We can now actually use the basement because it is not damp or smelly. This is the first time in years we can have clothes hanging up and not worry that there is going to be a moldy odor about them. I highly recommend this company for peace of mind with any water issues you may have in your house. And thank you again, Micah!

Kevin MacDonald came to our home today because I noticed a couple of cracks above the doors. He explained what he was going to do before he started the inspection. After the inspection, he told us nothing needs to be done and possibly a follow up in the summer due to us being on a crawl space. We have insulation under the floor and just want to make sure we don’t get any mold. This gentleman could have tried selling us some sort of repair but was being honest with us. Having a person/ company that isn’t taking advantage of us is nice. We would recommend this company and Kevin MacDonald to anyone.

My experience with round marks was very good. Well, I had a problem with a huge cavern under my carport and an extended into the house a few feet and I’ll call them. They came out and gave me a price and they came and did the work and I think they were super so my review for them would be very high.

Lance, Tory and Chris did an excellent job – first, assessing the problem, explaining the solutions and of course, the actual work on our Florida room floor. We had a "hollow" area under the concrete, causing the slab to shift and cause cracks in the floor and in the walls. Everyone was friendly, efficient, on time, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend!
