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 been impressed by the service we have received from Groundworks over the past year since they installed their product and repaired our foundation. Adrian Sifuentes gave us the product presentation after inspecting our foundation in a professional and pleasant manner. This gave us confidence in the longevity of the product. They even helped us get a loan to cover the work that we could off before accruing interest. Earle Clayton's team with Gill and Phil did an excellent job of installing the product, were professional, informing us of the process every step of the way, and finished a day early. Robert Steele came this month for the yearly inspection and did a fine job checking the foundation and explaining the process to us professionally and pleasantly. We feel receive great value for the money we paid. We highly recommend Groundworks and their foundation service.

Great work deserves high praise, and I have nothing but high praise for Ohio Basement Authority (“OBA”) and, in particular, the individuals that performed my work. I worked with the folks at their Cincinnati office on push pier installation and poly injection to stabilize and correct a foundation settlement issue on my house. Although I interviewed three different companies specializing in this type of work, I was most impressed with OBA for many reasons and ultimately decided to go with OBA, a decision which I am glad that I made. I initially met with Mark Overmyer for the initial evaluation and proposed solution to correct my foundation issue. Right from the start I was really impressed with Mark’s straightforward and comprehensive explanation of the services I would need….Mark is an engineer and even showed me the exact point where my home was starting to settle using his transit and other tools, which helped explain the number and location of push piers needed. His precision and thoroughness really impressed me. However, there were other things that made me decide to use OBA. For example, I found OBA’s contract to be fair and balanced when compared to my review of competitor contracts. Also, OBA does things by the book and got the necessary permits….that unfortunately may not necessarily always the case with other companies. I also spoke to other OBA customers and they had nothing but great things to say about OBA and how pleased they are with the work they performed. I definitely liked OBA’s product warranty and the fact that, unlike some companies, OBA does not charge an excess per foot additional charge should a pier exceed a specific depth, which could really increase the project cost should it occur. The fact that OBA does what it takes to install piers at whatever depth so required to be solid and stable and at no additional charge gave me much peace of mind. The OBA folks on the front end for sales and contracting were excellent to work with, but the actual individuals on the installation crew were even more so and absolutely outstanding in every respect. I had a crew comprised of Sean (the foreman), Elisha and Simon doing the push piers. For the poly injection part of the job I had a crew comprised of Seth (the foreman) and his colleague (sorry but I can’t recall his name). It is rare to see such a hard-working and conscientious group of workers. The moment they arrived, they impressed me with how professional and customer-oriented they were, and it was that way throughout the job. All of the great things I had heard from others about OBA when I was doing my research definitely played out on my job with these individuals. Unfortunately, the Google rating system is only five stars for the highest rating, but these fellows deserve at least eight or ten stars on a five star rating system. I found OBA to be a fine company to do business with, and the individuals I dealt with from there on every stage of the project were exceptional and did a fine job of representing OBA as a company.

Service was performed as contracted. Electric o sump pump has not been hooked up yet so that part of service is scheduled. The service providers were timely efficient and NEAT. The yard where they had to dig trenches was returned to previous if not better state. David Hall, John Prillaman and Jerome Highter as far as I can tell now did a great job.

Exceptional Service and Trustworthy Company I want to express my 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 face-to-face, patiently addressing our concerns and ensuring every detail was covered. It's rare to encounter such personalized service in today's business landscape. What truly sets AFS apart is its integrity. It stands by its product and its word. Its veteran-friendly ethos isn't just a marketing ploy–it's genuine. But it doesn'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.

My basement flooded after the snowcrete of 2026 thawed and I had several people come to give me estimates. I had decided on a contractor, but kept my estimate appointment with JES to do my due diligence. Well, Ajeet completely sold me on JES; he explained how flooding via hydrostatic pressure occurs, with videos and diagrams, and I really appreciated the time he took to explain it all to me in a way that made sense. I changed my mind immediately (original contractor was going to do all work outside the house) and I am the proud new owner of a sump pump and basement gutter. The team that came to install, Minyard, John, and Anthony, were great. We did a walk through each morning and then again once the job was done. The basement looks great and you can't even tell where they buried the gutter extensions outside. I definitely recommend JES if you have a wet basement.

I had a very positive experience with Foundation Recovery Systems. Foundation repair is a big investment and can cause anxiety, but Stephen, Camden and Dawson make it a doable worthwhile adventure. Stephen helps set up financial means, assesses the problems, and rolls up his sleeves to make it work. Camden and Dawson do the heavy lifting and explain everything along the way. They are a great team! They never leave you hanging: they respond to calls right away, answer all questions, and reassure anxious home owners. They were able to stay within the original price estimate. I really love these guys!

The team at Alpha Foundations did an incredible job encapsulating our crawl space. This team listened to our concerns, and truly went above and beyond to deliver a system that has brought peace of mind to my wife and I. The special attention brought by their production manager, Daniel, and our salesman, Eric, made this project a success that not only adds value to our home, but defines the term 'customer service.' Our most humble thanks to Alpha Foundations!

Working with Dan Heath was excellent. He came, assessed our issue and sat down to go over his findings. He is very knowledgeable, explained everything in great detail and showed us what set FSM apart from other companies. He went through everything in great detail on how to prepare and set up for crew to come in and work. I also want to point out how nice and enthusiastic the crew was. They worked a very hard, long day and were polite and kind the whole day despite the cold temperatures. I have already recommended the company to others as we are very satisfied with the process from initial assessment to completed work.
