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.

Relieved and HAPPY!! My crawlspace was encapsulated today. Kornbred, JW and J Wheeler provided the BEST customer service…friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. They worked quietly and efficiently while installing the materials and dehumidifier…leaving the area fresh and clean. I don’t think I’ve ever said my crawlspace was fresh. Thank you guys! I greatly appreciate it. Also, a shout out to Jason Booher who did the initial assessment/recommendations and scheduling!

The original downspout drainage system around our house was inadequate resulting in wet areas all around the basement. Colin Hall came out, did a thorough review and prepared a professional and detailed CAD drawing of his recommendation for reworking the system. The crew of Diego Rodriguez, Sergio Aniya and Dumien Files (apologies for any misspellings) were about the hardest working bunch of guys I have ever seen. There were courteous and upbeat the entire time. And they were creative as well in making on-site modifications to the plan as needed to insure proper drainage. I would not hesitate to recommend JES Foundation Repair.

We had such a great experience with Alpha Foundations. Tyler, Tristan, and Greg let us know when they were on the way so we could get things ready. They were the nicest team to work with and were even happy for us to let our dogs out in the yard from time-to-time to relieve themselves. The crew did amazing work, checking in with us to make sure things were right and to get the maximum benefits to our house. They did a lot of work in one day and we are really happy with the results. It makes a noticeable difference that you can feel just walking on our wood floors. The work is amazing and the team is even better!

Doug was great. Came within the two hour window I was quoted at price was the exact same amount as I was told. I had a few concerns about the drain in my yard being a little clocked out turned out. It was Pine Yneedles, but Doug went the extra mile cleaned it out for me. Highly recommend giving them A call if you have any issues or looking to get a sump pump or basement drainage system.

Eric did a thorough job reviewing my home after a relocation inspector pointed out concerns with some cracking in the foundation of my home. He remained professional and honest in his assessment of the situation while many may have tried to deceive and oversell when they heard relocation he showed great character in his review and approach. I highly recommend Eric for an honest and thorough evaluation of your home!

I requested annual service on our sump pump and dehumidifier at the end of January. I was able to get an appointment within a couple of weeks. Adrian attended the service call; he has been out to our home for both annual service and troubleshooting issues in the past. He is an excellent representative for the company. He is extremely thoughtful to the client, respectful of our space and my time, attentive to the details when passing on his assessment of our equipment, and also in answering any questions I had. He provided additional information when asked and took the time to explain the options available both in potential upgrades, the assessment of urgency, and the options for service subscription to save money.
