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.

Mark U. , Project Manager, came out to my house to give me an estimate. He contacted me in advance and arrived on time. He was very personable and patiently explained what was involved with the lifting and repairing of the concrete slabs in my yard. He was honest about what could and could not be repaired. This is the first time I will be using Groundworks and it looks like they can provide the services that I need.

The crew from moberly that spent the past couple of days out at my house were absolutely 💯. Big thanks to Lee Johnson, camryn, and Ayden. They came in and went out of the way to prep what I wasn't able to and wasted no time. Kept me and the wife well informed every step of the way, and left the place looking terrific for the amount of work they put in.

Just had Sheldon from Groundworks stop and give us an estimate on our concrete problem solution. He was terrific and so knowledgeable! He carefully explained everything in detail what needed to be done and what was covered in the estimate. So glad he was the representative we talked to. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering having concrete repair work done.

We had great experience with AquaGuard. And while we didn’t get job done with them yet, but Adrian was excellent explaining our home problems and sending us on the right track. He showed us what his company can do for us, but first we had another issue to address. It was refreshing to get professional estimate and not seeing someone jumping right the way to do just his part and leaving us hanging. We are definitely coming back to AquaGuard to fix what we need when we get to that part of the project. Thank you.

I really was impressed by the professionalism of Juan, Diego and Jeff., and even John who did our inspection. My crawl space is ONLY two blocks. Very tight fit. Average guy can NOT fit under there. House was built in 1954. Needless to say I have NEVER been under there and at 73 I NEVER will now. The boys did a hell of a job and clean. My gosh, I would even do that good. They even fixed one of our furnace pipes that some how came apart. They seem to have a good time together also. The service contract was WELL worth the money. Needless to say, I highly recommend FSM and if you get a chance ask for Jeff and Juan and Diego. AWESOME JOB BOYS/ Leonard Mueller

Alex and Harley went above and beyond. Alex communicated all day with me. They had some issues that delayed them but stayed late, completed all the work, cleaned up the previous work (which wasn't the best), and made everything look brand new, even better than the previous work!! Alex and Harley are highly recommended from me. I would ask for them anytime!! Take care of these guys. Great crew!!!

Vidal and his crew, Andre and Joey, did a great job! We did an encapsulation of our crawl space and added a sump pump and dehumidifier. The project went longer than anticipated due to weather, which you just can’t control but Vidal put in so much extra time to catch things up. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and we appreciated how hard he and his team worked to make up for the lost time. These jobs can also get pretty messy but they left our home very clean. I also very much appreciated Vidal making me aware of plumbing issues we had. If he had said nothing these would have continued without us knowing. They aren’t the cheapest BUT I don’t regret spending the extra money. They do very good high quality work and I feel like we got what we paid for.
