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 have George Knox come out to give us a quote on having our sidewalk and driveway lifted. He worked closely with us to secure a solution within our price range, and was very kind. Just now Gavin Dendy and Jonathan Alvarez completed the lifting and crack sealing of our driveway! Unfortunately a portion of the sidewalk could not be saved. But they did everything to give me options to solve the problem. I am very pleased with the service, pleased with the price, and would recommend This team completely!

From the rip I was impressed with AFS. I learned about the through an Instagram ad and they made it super easy for me to let them know that I was having problems with my crawl space. I filled out a thing on instagram and within minutes someone from AFS called me. After that an inspection was scheduled and that's where we met Paul. Paul was awesome, super professional but laid back just enough to make us feel super comfortable, and we never felt like he was trying to up sell us on anything. He communicated very well throughout the entire process and even hooked us up with an electrician that they use for jobs (SES). He was really a top notch sales person. Then the guys on the job. AFS has an excellent communication system that sends you texts with links to where the crew is at when they are headed your way and even it even lets you know that the crew has arrived at your location. The job for us took 3 days and it was super smooth. Alex, Sam and Braxton did an excellent job doing the work, cleaning up and being very professional. They even stayed late the last night on the job to wrap it up and even though they didn't leave until about 9:30 that night the site was cleaned up to the point that you wouldn't even know that they were just working there. All in all I can't recommend AFS enough. 10/10 we are very satisfied with the entire experience!

Basement gutter and sump installation went great. Oscar, Paulino and Bryant worked diligently to overcome unexpected obstacles and arrange things as I requested, and the result is all I could wish. DryPro did a much bigger project for us recently – stabilization, frame repairs, and crawlspace encapsulation. Obstacles were discovered then, too, but Hayden, Cameron, Javier, Blake and Brad and their teams all worked hard and long to make it come out right. Jesse, the DryPro inspector that came out initially, has also just been great throughout all this.

Foreman Roger, and Santos did an excellent job. My walkway slab had clearly started to sink, and they raised it perfectly, restoring the proper slope for water runoff. They also applied and smoothed the caulking beautifully, and made sure adjacent slabs are evened out. I’m very satisfied with their work.

I contacted Groundworks on Monday Dec 9 in regards to a water issue. I no sooner sent the message and the phone rang I had an appointment for Thursday Dec 12. Graham came out & did a foundation inspection. He was very thorough & explained everything to me in great detail. He made suggestions & recommended I call 311. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of their services. They are very professional and do not push you into something that you may not need at this particular time. Thank you
