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.

Mike from Aquagard came out to inspect the system they installed 6 years ago and confirmed everything continued to look good. Super professional and friendly and offered me a variety of ways in which I should think about proactively monitoring this system, including ways to mitigate associated costs by doing some of it on my own. Deeply appreciate all his wisdom and expertise and happy to keep doing business with Aquagard.

Jacob was professional and knowledgeable. Eased my mind on a wall I was concerned about and didn't try to just "sell a fix". These are the people you want to do business with when you're taking about repairs that could get costly should you need them. Would highly recommend doing business with them.

Len H and his two associates, Jose B and D Ramus (?)..(writing unclear)… arrived promptly, according to schedule. They got right to work on the project of shoring up the basement walls. They worked efficiently and quickly, showing a knowledge of the problem and of the solution. I interacted with foreman Len H on several occasions as he kept me apprised of the progress and answered any questions I had. He was quite personable, making our interactions pleasantly friendly and informative. I truly appreciated the speed, efficiency, and friendliness of the crew as they resolved the problem of the bulging basement walls.

I had an excellent experience with Bay Area Underpinning, thanks to Steve Kagin and his unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. The project faced some delays due to the City of Oakland, which was entirely out of his control, yet Steve went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. Steve Kagin isn't just a salesperson; he's a true problem solver who genuinely cares about getting the job done right. The project was ultimately completed within the expected timeframe, and I couldn't be more impressed with Chris and his team. They provided daily updates, detailed explanations, and pictures, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bay Area Underpinning, and if you have the chance, I highly suggest working with Steve as your sales representative and Chris as the manager on-site. You'll be in great hands!
