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.

Working with this company has been a pleasure from the very beginning. Everyone I have spoken to is so kind and great to work with, from the office staff, to the person that came out to give us an estimate and to Tory and Blake, who leveled my air conditioner. This must be a great company who treats its people very well as you can tell by the way they interact with customers.

I recently had the pleasure of working with TJ from AFS Foundation Services for an inspection of my crawl space in Louisville, Kentucky. TJ was incredibly thorough and professional, addressing several concerns including water intrusion, termite damage, and mold/fungus issues. He also pointed out rotting wood and cracked floor joists, all of which were explained in detail. His clear explanations and expert advice were invaluable in helping me understand the extent of the issues and the necessary steps to address them. I highly recommend TJ and the team at AFS Foundation Services for their dedication, expertise, and outstanding service. K&A Groves Middletown, Kentucky

Had musky smell in house and thought it was from previous owners. They had dogs. Turns out there was excessive moisture in crawl space causing smell. G.W saw that there were no gutters in some spots of house and advised to put gutters in before encapsulation and dehumidifier of crawl space. After about 2months of encapsulation, I didn’t noticed musky smell anymore. It’s a little pricey, but mold under crawl space will eventually cost more. New builds should come with encapsulation if they have a crawl space. Had a maintenance appointment with Marek G a year later. To make sure everything in crawl space was working. Very friendly and knowledgeable. My house is a mess, but they still wear covers over shoes. Very professional. If you have a crawl space and smells, I would give them a call. The initial inspection is free.

I had my sub pump system installed by Clarke Systems and was very pleased with the work and followup over the years. This was my first experience with Groundworks since they merged I can say the experience was as good as Clarke System. Ronald did an excellent job on my maintenance and his followup on the proposed extension of the system was spot on. Lucio and Levi actually showed up early ( they made sure to call to make sure it was ok with me ) Levi covered all walking areas with fabric and made sure to take off their boots when accessing other areas. Both gents were personable, Lucio explained the work to be done insuring it was in line with my expectations. I was shown the work being performed at each stage and at completion to make sure I was satisfied. I noticed an uneven tape line and Lucio was quick to correct the issue with out question. Clean up was excellent both inside and out. Thanks for the great job!

Thankfully my inspection revealed no foundation issues, Ed Macdonald from Foundation Recovery Systems was extremely helpful in identifying my problem and providing valuable guidance on how best to address it. In an era where unnecessary repairs and poor customer service are common, this was not the case with Foundation Recovery Systems, and Ed in particular. Great overall experience from the appointment scheduling, communications, and appointment. Would highly recommend to all my friends and family! A+++++++
