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.

Called to have some cracks in my slab foundation looked at. Will Hedgecock came out and looked at it and explained that this is a common problem with the soils here. I had a lot of anxiety about doing significant work to the house as I have just retired in the last year and still have a lot of decisions to make regarding if I will keep a residence here. Will was very understanding about my anxiety and gave me all of the options so I can relax and take the time I need to think through my overall situation thoroughly and make the best decision going forward. Will is not only an expert in the technical aspects of foundation issues but is very understanding. Will has returned every call and answered every question promptly. He took the time and effort to to help me see all of the elements of the "big picture" giving me the information I need to make the best decision.

Alpha Foundations came out recently to help fix our crawl space. We had some minor sinking that took place from the storms last year and they helped us stabilize a few areas of our house. Now we have peace of mind knowing our 100 year house is good. Jake came out to give us the quote and communication was awesome throughout the process. Then Joseph, Houston, and Dan came out for installation. Also great communication throughout the process. They got the work done quickly and we feel confident knowing they did things the right way.

James did amazing! Definitely recommend him and this company — only thing I didn’t love was that I had to pay for an hour and a half for him to go get a part ($325) and drive back to my house. It took him about 15 minutes tops to fix the drain and I wish it was more cost efficient. I had to send a picture beforehand and wish they would have brought the part the first time. But all in all would recommend James!!

Mark from Bay Area Groundworks spent several hours at our home performing a very thorough inspection of our foundation and crawlspace. He arrived on time and took the time to carefully evaluate the structure, measure floor elevations, and inspect the crawlspace in detail. He also documented everything with photos and walked us through what he found step-by-step. What we appreciated most was how clearly he explained the situation. He showed us exactly where the foundation had settled, pointed out areas of moisture, identified a crack in the foundation, and explained the possible causes and long-term effects in plain language that was easy to understand. He also explained the different repair options, the process his company uses for underpinning, and what the installation would look like. Mark was patient with our many questions and never made us feel rushed. He discussed warranties, permits, engineering, project timelines, and what level of disruption to expect during the work. He also provided a clear visual layout of the proposed repair plan and shared photos from the inspection so we could review everything afterward. We especially appreciated that he was respectful of our decision to gather multiple estimates before moving forward. His professionalism, thoroughness, and willingness to educate homeowners made the entire consultation very helpful. Overall, Mark was knowledgeable, transparent, and generous with his time. If you’re looking for someone who will carefully evaluate your foundation and explain things in a way that makes sense, he is definitely worth speaking with.
