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.

Exceptional Service and Trustworthy Company I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Cody and his remarkable team at AFS. When the initial installation fell short, they stepped in with unwavering dedication. Cody personally assessed the situation, and his team worked tirelessly to fix all the issues. The best contractors were mobilized, and they expedited the resolution. Not only did they address the technical aspects, but their commitment to customer satisfaction was extraordinary. Cody went above and beyond, ensuring that we were completely satisfied. He met with us face-to-face, patiently addressing our concerns and making certain that every detail was taken care of. Itâ  s rare to encounter such personalized service in todayâ  s business landscape. What truly sets AFS apart is its integrity. It stands by its product and its word. Its veteran-friendly ethos isnâ  t just a marketing ployâ  itâ  s genuine. But it doesnâ  t stop there. AFS is also family-oriented, inclusive, and rooted in human values of faith. I wholeheartedly recommend it for its exceptional work, outstanding team, and unwavering commitment to its customers.

Cameron came to my condo to evaluate the source of a flooring crack along an outside wall. He spent an hour and a half examining the floor, interior wall, and exterior wall. During that time he explained what procedures would completely solve the foundation issues at hand. I especially appreciated that he repeatedly gave opportunities to ask questions. I would have confidence that Indiana Foundations would do excellent work correcting my foundation problem.

I have been very pleased by the work done by Groundworks/Tarheel Basement Systems. Helene damaged the structure underneath my 110 year old house and I chose Tarheel Basement Systems to strengthen the existing structure and add additional beams and supports. I think there work was done to a high standard. In particular, Justin and Devon seemed to take great pride in ensuring that everything was done just right. I highly recommend them and the company.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott Alsabrook to waterproof my basement, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Scott is the epitome of professionalism. From the moment we started, he didn’t try to sell me services I didn’t need—instead, he offered clear, well-informed options, allowing me to make the best decision for my home. His ability to explain the full scope of the work and ensure I understood every step of the process was invaluable. Thanks to Scott, my basement is now completely water-free. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of foundation or waterproofing services—he’s knowledgeable, honest, and dedicated to solving the problem the right way. Ask for Scott—you won’t regret it!

We hired Groundworks to help us fix a leak caused by surface/groundwater. Howard arrived the same day I called in to request a consultation. He was very patient and explained to my mother and I what needed to be done. When Ryan, Wyatt, and the rest of the team arrived, they were quick to realize that adjustments to the original plan needed to be made and quickly pivoted with a new plan. The crew worked tirelessly digging trenches and laying down pipes underneath the house in a small crawlspace. I appreciate all their hard work! The project was completed in 3 days. Ryan (Foreman) took the time to show us pictures of the work from start to finish and patiently explain the how's and why's of the process. Truly appreciate the entire team!! THANK YOU!!
